When I saw Torchwood and Pompeii, then the shoe dropped. A great choice!
He resembles Hartnell in many ways...only a younger version... hmmm...grow the hair out...whiten it... is the Doctor’s existence circular?
Shipes, now I’m sounding like all of the other Whovian speculators...
That screwdriver has got to go. Overcompensating much?
Just get a Frickin’ electric torch, why don’t you?
I’ll have to watch it, maybe I missed that one and that’s why I couldn’t figure it out.
Thanks for the info.
Looks good, i hope they tone down the romantic stuff.
Wow, I followed exactly the same discovery process. Weird.
Well, he’s old enough to be Jenna Louise Coleman’s father, so I hope so.
