I absolutely love listening to NT because it makes me realise that my crazy Doctor Who opinions are shared by quite a few other people. Thank you for all your efforts (it must be so time consuming!) and for allowing me on board! Here’s to many more journeys! 🎉

The Ginger Agenda is everywhere these days. It’s disgusting, ramming it down our throats.

I remember that buzz around Series 8 at the time. Those days seem so looooong ago now and long forgotten.

I can look at The Chase and tell that it has lots (and lots!) of faults but I can’t help enjoying it!

I really enjoyed hearing that other people’s views of ‘classics’ are similar to mine.

On a definite upward trajectory following Heat 3 (similar to an episode 4 in a 6 part Doctor Who story). Have we heard the winner in this heat? Who knows but we do have opinions! #Melfest

The look on Meira Omar’s face was almost up there with John Lundvik’s from 2019! Very pleased with and for Cimberley though. #Melfest

It’s like he’s had his jaw wired shut! Very strange but yes was obvious it would go DTF even if the song wasn’t as good as their others.

I don’t think anything from this national final will be troubling anything at all viral level.

All I can say is it’s a good job that Austria has a pass into the grand final.

I really like the dance routine in Cosmo’s performance it’s giving me Steps handography. Unfortunately this whole…debacle… is for a song contest #ViennaCalling

Another niche reference.

Who does Kermit the Frog have Pockets Full of Snow? #ViennaCalling

Finally! Austria you give us something interesting and well sung. I hope if it wins it won’t get the Conte treatment.

It absolutely is the best one so far!

There’s something about this that I like. Dunno what it is but it still feels like it needs to go through a few more redrafts. There wasn’t enough melody though seemed low in the mix, it was all about the beat. She has a huge entourage though! #ViennaCalling

High praise…or damnation? Who can tell these days?! #ViennaCalling

It’s…mellow…and that’s the best adjective I can use for it while trying to stay positive. #ViennaCalling

Oh @notoftenheard.bsky.social I bet you hated Reverend Stomp! #ViennaCalling

Oh dear. Poor Kayla I think it’s her throat and voice box that’s on fire! She did struggle with some of those notes #ViennaCalling

I think I’ll just tag along and quote repost your comments!

And are they going to give any negative comments? Of course not! It just seems like filler. #ViennaCalling

Running slightly delayed with #viennacalling just started song 2 and the audience look like they’re nodding off.

It starts off good but then just stays there. A decent start but no real spark #viennacalling

When I think of S24 it makes me realise that only a show like Doctor Who could do a series with 4 such vastly different styles and genres. It’s so eclectic and that makes it really interesting.

It absolutely isn’t! I lived with the ideas that Colin and Sylvester were both shit and that S24 was awful S17 was an embarrassment and S5 was stupendous (apart from Enemy of the World?!?!) And if Pertwee or Tom weren’t your favourite then there was something wrong with you. Madness!

I sometimes wonder who even votes in those DWM polls. I’m convinced that some of them are watching a completely different programme to me!

The one thing I’ve learned recently is that “perceived fan wisdom” is actually a load of bullshit. We’ve all got far more interesting points of view on some of these episodes than what “perceived fan wisdom” says we should have.

This ought to be good! I can’t wait to hear the opinions on some of these!

Stone cold classics…hmmm…that’s fighting talk!
