Boaz can the picts "invade" Britain when they come from within it? :p The general history seems pretty clear despite a shockingly poor documentary by the BBC which claimed established history was wrong. After the Legions left, the Britons, found themselves facing what those of them who were...

Which scientific knowledge? :p If memory serves - we have "Britons' covered in woad paint centuries after that practice died out, we have Romans dressed in armour and equipment 500 years out of date not to mention the word" Knjght"being used centuries early. We have trebuchets being used again...

I always thought Pete Poatlethwaite would have made an amazing and perhaps even definitive Master in Dr Who - imagine him versus Capaldi or Whittakers Doctors!!

I have the luck of being born and bred in a Castle Town, an integral part of Edward Longshanks mighty work of oppression, the ring of iron, a series of castles built around North and mid Wales to keep us pesky Welshies from revolting a task it failed at several times :D I am a native of...

I thought the tin foil hat was de riguert for AFTER one has joined and begun posting within this Parish ;)

I would quite like to see Eric Flints Ring of Fire series adapted - TV would prob make more sense than film - each season could cover a year starting with 1632,the year Granville, West Virginia is transplanted/asb'd to northern Germany. Given how much the books focus on the politics and...

Dave - my first thought was the outfit is very reminiscent of the Cybermen! You could argue that instead of antennae, we have Bluetooth headsets which perform a similar role. In many ways, the photo is going down the right way, in concept if not specific appearance. Onesies / jumpsuits are...

I get a little fed up of the constant sacrificing for plot reasons of why the Cybermen had to cut their feelings out. If this Cyberman still had its feelings why was it not screaming in agony...

One difference I wasn't sure about at first bits it's growing in me is the slight reinvention of Emhyr var Emreis - he is no longer just the Emperor but his followers are reffering to him almost like a prophet or deity 'we serve the White Flame" iirc my Witcher lore, the Emperor is possibly also...

Dave - the last Cyberman in fairness could be from any point in time & Cyber history. In the classic series Cyber timrline, The end of the Cyber Wars between the Cybes and Earth and its Allies which iirc Inc the Draconians and Voga (the planet of gold essential to providing "ammo" for the game...

what is freaking me out a little and suggests strongly that Ruth Doctor does indeed either predate the first doctor or is somehow from far in the doctors and perhaps gallifreys past is Gatts reaction upon discovering 2 regeneration of the Doctor before her. She "really" freaks out. Never mind...

Narkalui - the problem with your theory is that "our" Doctor scanned Ruth Doctor, as did the Judoon Platoon near the Moon, and the result was that both Ruth and 13 are indeed both the same Timelady, the thought of Clones did occur to me the problem is the whole scene where 13 and Ruth start...

The problem is, in series 2,the Doctor clearly stated that Timelords exist in only one reality, the main who one, the reality of Petes World, where Lumic created his own race of Cybermen was timelordless... All I can think is something happened, that every or most Timelords forgot a previous...

How many non book reading game only playing viewers are asking "wtf is Jaskier??" I wonder lol

If you actually visited Stainy at the time you would probably find it a sad reflection of its great and industrious past in some ways. The Hatfield Main Pit Club and the Old Club are still there (my memory is cheating as I could have sworn10 years ago that there was a 3rd right next to the Olds...

When I were moving in England "oop North" l in Yorkshire of coursez you wouldn't catch me living in the soft Jessie land known as Southern England!! As a Welshman I felt more kinship with Yorkshire folk than Southerners (I bow to no man except.... The King in the North) Anyway, after a couple...

Legend would seem to have it that the Needle Bodkin Arrow was basically the super weapon of English and Welsh Archers, turning the Warbow (iirc that's the proper name for what is commonly called a longbow) into a deadly and merciless Knight Killer. Recent tests suggest this may not be the case...

I really wish she would take a leaf out of for example Clive Cussler book. Find a writer or two she really trusts to stay with her vision and ideas and let them write new full books set in the Potterverse. With quality control it could work. Books can be set anywhere within the timeline of the...

Of course lieutenant-colonel Sharpe is a hero!! He always does the right thing, saves the damsel in distress and so on.

And of course many of us Whovians credit him as being the JK Rowling of his day - encouraging and inspiring young kids to not only read but to enjoy reading as a hobby with his many target nocisations.
