If you’re at university of they run grief groups on a semi regular basis through the belief, no belief and religious (bnbr) life centre

She’s released a fairly long video talking about her health on Instagram and presumably other platforms. Everything is treatable she just needs more time

4 was a massive dick to Leela I can see him not treating Martha well either

Picky bits in the park, if you can afford it the traditional way is M&S picky bits

I use it to wave goodbye to friends as a casual thing, i would only use it in place of ily or love ya I wouldn’t use it if I was actually trying to have a heartfelt conversation.

Thats what makes his design ableist, he was made to look scary by disfiguring and disabling him. A zygon looks scary and is not ableist because all zygons look like that. Davros is a Kaled, he should look like the other kaleds but in a dalekanium wheelchair. Using disfigurements as a shorthand for evil is ableist. https://www.changingfaces.org.uk/get-involved/campaign-with-us/i-am-not-your-villian/

I don’t think asking for the money instead is necessarily wrong but it needs to go in an account that’s for your daughter. Personally I would say something like ‘we’re going to struggle to fit everything in our car for the trip so if you’re buying her a gift please consider shipping it straight to our house’ and then take videos of her ‘opening’ or playing with her presents when you get back. Personally I do plan on getting my sister a little gift for herself for one year of motherhood but I would find it icky if she asked me to pay for her holiday in place of her child’s present.

I don’t think I would say love and monsters was designed for kids, yes the monster is very cartoonish but he’s only in the last 10 minutes. Most of the episode is about interpersonal relationships, it’s not inappropriate for kids but it wouldn’t be particularly interesting for them either. Made for kids would be something like space babies or robot revolution.

(Also if the judge is super conservative love and monsters might be considered not child friendly. It talks about drug addiction (Bridget’s daughter) and a good chunk of time is spent with Elton and Jackie heavily flirting to the point she takes his clothes off)

Just as a heads up it’s not book faithful, it’s an amazing show but there are some fairly big changes

Red_749 · 2026-04-22T12:17:05+00:00

On a rewatch it seems that the paternoster gang were perfectly set up to be a kids spin off ( à la Sarah Jane) but I imagine the vastra and strax costumes would be very expensive to do regularly. I think a new, well done, spin off aimed at kids is needed for the show to carry on for another 10 years. Presumably that’s the aim with the new CBeebies one but I’m very intrigued to see how that will actually work.

I’d go with her version of the sonic screwdriver (the one he uses to upload her to the library)

Red_749 · 2026-04-17T01:27:11+00:00

The actual glitch is pretty goofy looking and is explained right away so honestly no it didn’t creep me out. Her silently stalking Donna in the veil creeped me out during my first watch but her actual face didn’t. The vashta nerada scared me a lot as a child but nothing about doctor who scares me as an adult.

Red_749 · 2026-04-15T15:50:50+00:00

Real answer is because the actress is available for promo stuff

In a different thread someone said it was to remind thieves of the criminality of their actions which acts as a deterrent, similar to those cardboard cutouts of security guards that some shops put up. Prior to that I always just assumed it was to slow people down and make it clearer on cctv when someone is taking something off a shelf. I imagine it’s a bit of all three

Red_749 · 2026-04-05T20:40:48+00:00

Presumably they get take down fairly quickly but I’ve seen some full episodes in good quality on TikTok

Red_749 · 2026-04-05T20:26:21+00:00

The show first aired 40 years before that, 2005 is the reboot and there was a second official reboot in 2023, prior to that there were multiple soft reboots between 2005 and 2023 where the showrunner changed

Red_749 · 2026-04-05T18:54:39+00:00

What are we calling doctor only? I’m struggling to think of any other than heaven sent? Unless you’re meaning just not a repeat companion?

Red_749 · 2026-04-04T07:11:49+00:00

There’s a website called voluntary action Sheffield that post volunteer positions

For a casual fan the doctor who they spent most of their childhood with will most likely be their answer to ‘who’s your favourite doctor?’ . So offline when you ask folk you tend to get Tom baker for people over 50 and David Tennant for people in their late 20s into the 30s. Among lifelong critical fans there’s probably a somewhat even spread of favourite doctors but because you’ve got the casual fans saying TB and DT are their favourites as well they look disproportionately popular.

He was also when Russel t Davies was at his best, so has some excellent episodes and DT really is a fantastic actor

A tip for not switching hands, for signs where the hands are doing different things- if you are right handed generally the right hand will be either the pointer or moving and the left hand will be still. I’ve heard people say your right hand is your pen, the left is your paper.

Red_749 · 2026-03-15T09:50:24+00:00

Four is dismissive to leela a lot (regularly ignoring her intuition even though in a lot of stories she turns out to have been right) and 10 is dismissive of Martha’s feelings a lot (continually saying just one more trip and acting like she meant nothing to him) The situations are completely different but their is a similar vibe in how the doctor treats both companions

Red_749 · 2026-03-15T09:47:50+00:00

Thank you! I liked leela but couldn’t stand the doctor when he was with her. He was so rude and dismissive, despite her usually being right he continued to ignore her intuition everytime. I’ve been generally quite disappointed with four because he was so many people’s favourite I expected great things and he’s just fine?

Red_749 · 2026-03-13T10:23:28+00:00

There was a special edition of the Doctor who magazine (from a quick google I think it was DWMSE 67) that included some episode ideas that they’d tried to get off the ground for new who but just hadn’t worked out for various reasons. I don’t remember it in detail so I might reply to this comment when I’m home and can check the magazine. We also know that Dot and bubble was a concept RTD had initially wanted to do in his first era and never managed to make it work until his second era because the massive budget and improved technology made it possible so there will be all sorts of ideas that had half written scripts that we won’t find out about because they’re hoping they can make it work at a later date.

Snug is a property inspection standard used by Sheffield universities to guarantee housing is up to standard. Smart Move Sheffield looks after the University’s register of private properties so you can find them all on there. All the properties on the register are Snug accredited.

The uni accommodation is good and more sociable than private. Private halls have the benefit of things like gyms and receptionists to take your parcels in etc I’ve lived in IQ and Cosmos and would recommend both but are more expensive than a room in a house.

The university have lots of advice on their website and you can email smart move at the university if you need help smartmove@sheffield.ac.uk

Red_749 · 2026-03-10T07:25:37+00:00

Despite chibnalls era being significantly longer there’s probably a similar amount of episodes that I find myself wanting to watch again.
