📺 Tonight I watched Doctor Who 7x05 "The Angels Take Manhattan". Standout of this season so far, I thought. The bonus scene P.S. (written but never filmed; a version is on YouTube if you haven't seen it) would've made a great ending, too.

@jayeless I have literally hidden a little angel statue in a guest room where I was staying because 😱. Thanks a lot, Doctor Who.
@KimberlyHirsh @jean @jayeless My wife went to Edinburgh recently and found a Doctor Who exhibition. I was so jealous.
@KimberlyHirsh I’m sure you’ll be fine. That that retains the image of an angel becomes an angel and all that.
@BenSouthwood Cool! In 2016 I got to visit the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff – that was a super fun time. I hadn't even been watching the show for about three years at that point, but it reawakened my love for it and I started watching again once the next season started. If they had Weeping Angels there I don't seem to have taken any photos, but it looks like I got plenty of Cybermen, Daleks, TARDIS exteriors and consoles, costumes, and K9... 😂 @jean @KimberlyHirsh
@jayeless As a kid, I think it was for my tenth birthday actually, we went to the ‘Doctor Who Exhibition’ in Blackpool. As a kid, that was so exciting. It would have been 1987 or so. :-)
@BenSouthwood Cool, that would definitely have been exciting! :) I haven't really heard of any Doctor Who exhibitions over here in Australia, but I guess I can live in hope that one day we'll get one 😂
@jayeless I remember how exciting it was to see Bessie (third doctor’s car) outside, then a Dalek that called me ‘adolescent’. Doctor Who Exhibition
@BenSouthwood They had quite a few different consoles at the one in Cardiff (I guess the new series has gone through them...) and they were definitely pretty cool. I think the part that stuck in my mind the most was actually the info about the very early production of the show in 1963, including how the theme tune was synthesised – they even had the equipment that was used to craft it, iirc! Very interesting stuff 😄
@jayeless I love synthesiser music, I’ve read a theory that young fans of Doctor Who in the 70s/80s generally develop a love of the electronic genre. I saw The Radiophonic Workshop ‘live’ in Dublin a few years back, they finished with the ‘Doctor Who’ theme. This is from a different venue. Doctor Who Theme
@BenSouthwood Yeah, I like it too! Even though I probably don't listen to it as often as I'd like. Thanks for sharing the video – it must've been pretty cool seeing them in-person too.
