Because it's incredibly dumb.

That really, really annoyed me. She was right. And I never understood how the Doctor had supposedly ruined her career. He says "Don't you think she looks tired?" to... someone? And that makes everyone think she's not fit to be PM any more? What? :confused:

It's a reference to the same rumor about Thatcher spread by one of her aides, which allegedly contributed to the loss of faith in her amongst the Tories and thus her ousting from Party leadership. It might even be seen as a suggestion that the Doctor did the same thing to Thatcher if you squint at it hard enough.

I don't think they ever outright state this but it seems pretty clearly implied that there's some sort of memetic psychic trick there - an implanted suggestion that passes itself along.

ive rarely been this embarrassed on behalf of someone else

Someone's got to be since he clearly refuses to do it himself.

Poor Olivia Colman.


Are there really so many Americans that would refuse to watch a very good tv show because of some accents?

It's not really about the accents. BBC America has the rights to distribute Broadchurch proper (and has been showing it), so if Fox has to do a remake anyway they might as well go whole-hog.

1996! If the TV Movie had been followed-up-on, it'd have been dreadful!

Yes, but they also actually made it in the first place, so that counts against them.

If you were really men you'd review every radio play and then host a podcast where you are forced to interact with DoctorWhat for a solid hour about each and every godforsaken one of them

Again, it's still not a suicide attempt.

Complete the trifecta with Harry Potter. Bonus points for also being in Rome.

It's also incredibly spoilery. I only ever played it right after it came out, but unless they've changed it since then, it starts partway through the Smith years and bounces around through them.

The answer to #1 is almost assuredly Shearman, as he wrote the audio story "Jubilee", and "Dalek" is a remake/retooling of that story, although it's still possible that Rusty was the one who asked him to retool it.

An American Doctor would be played by Wil Wheaton and I would learn what a gun barrel tastes like.

It's Michael B. Jordan, the dude who's playing the Human Torch in the new Fantastic Four movie.

Jordan for the Doctor, Barkley for the Master, Muggsy Bogues as Strax. Bill Murray as companion.

One of my fairly close relatives had a prominent role in this film. (If anyone can guess who on their first try, they get an avatar cert!)

I should send a link to this podcast to said relative.

You know, now that you mention it, I can see the resemblance to Chris Rock.
