It's literal!

Is there an area of Gallifrey called Britain I'm not aware of?

Look! James Bond is BRITISH alright? Just ask George Lazenby.

Or Pierce Brosnan.

Wee bit off topic but my favourite moronic Bond chat is when people say James Bond is English* and don't realise that not only has he been played by as many non-English actors as not, but he's most likely Scottish as represented by both Ian Fleming's books and the estate from Skyfall.

*I've heard it quite a bit when Casino Royale came out and I happened to be in Blackburn for a while.

Not as up to speed on my Bond novels as I used to be, but didn't Fleming only put in the Scottish stuff after Connery had started playing the role? Either way I guess the point is that even if he wasn't meant to be Scottish to start with it was made canon so peeps need to deal with it!

In fact thinking about it of the "main line" Bonds aren't only Moore and Craig actually English?

I was going to say Dalton but apparently he was born in Wales.

"Stop getting Bond wrong!"

My favourite was when my Dad said Idris Elba couldn't be James Bond because "the character is supposed to be English"

Reminder. Tonight a trip inside the TARDIS.

https://www.twitch.tv/mattking85 I'll be streaming in about 10 mins!

... I must have missed this... I didn't know you were streaming tonight, dude! I gotta quickly wash up from tea and then I'll dial in!

Enter the TARDIS now!

Jawa refusing to tell me what he had eaten.

That really was quite brief but starting the TARDIS. The writing and performances went up a notch for that story to. Probably because they were further into the production of series 5 and more confident on the characters.

Anyway. As I said Jawa you get to be in a model version of the TARDIS when at the experience. You were not allowed to film inside but obviously some tried! It was so cool. You started off going through the crack in time and into a junkyard and then the TARDIS appears. You go in and then land it on a Dalek ship!





Smith. I assume they have updated it since so I don't know what the interactive bit is like anymore.

. You must have missed it in the chat thread, dude... chicken and veg soup with bread .

Yeah, I wasn't expecting the episode to end when it did . The "two-room" approach worked well after the more expansive approach of the earlier games and, yeah, the voice-acting was neat.

That sounds pretty neat, man. I bet the fans enjoyed it!

Sorry I missed the stream yesterday, it was a very quick episode though. Went to Twitch and it was finished already!

No worries. It was a short adventure thats for sure. Honestly could have done with a 3rd room.

Forget that, see the trailer below, lol.

So Mark Gatiss is going to be in the Christmas special as well - I'm thinking he's going to play the 3rd Doctor. Both he and Capaldi are huge fans of the 3rd Doctor so it may be their last opportunity for Gatiss to play him and Capaldi's Doctor to interact with him.

We saw him in 3rd Doctor costume during the 50th anniversary too:
