A great show and panel. Thanks to the Stroker family for getting it up on TH-cam so quickly.
Pleasure. Regretting it today. Very unwell

I wonder, what might the customs officers have said on finding Willie and Wokey in your suitcase? Will this scene be a part of the movie? I look forward to finding out.
That did occur to me.
Another good debate. Thanks to all concerned. I especially liked the dalek lol
Thanks for your support
Violence shows, and magnifies, threat. Mary Whitehouse used to complain vociferously about the violence and terror in certain episodes, but she, being like most religious types, ignores the obvious. Nursery rhymes we tell our kids are terrifying and violent. Looks at Hansel and Gretel, a witch attempting to cook and eat children. The Pied Piper lures children from Hamelin after he wasn't paid by the council to get rid of rats. Harry Potter is rather dark and violent, Aragog exemplifies childhood fears. The strangulations in the Seeds of Doom makes the Krynoid terrifying. Solon shooting Cordo and wanting the head of the Doctor makes him the archetypal mad scientist. The Cybermen seem more powerful by crushing Lytton's hands in an otherwise middling story. The show needs violence to make the stories work better.
I do agree. It didn’t affect me. I think it makes us more imaginative and resilient
Great show. Thanks, Brendan, Jeremy and Tardis Spider/Terry.
In 1964's Father Goose, Leslie Caron slapped Cary Grant and he slapped her straight back, and that was why it was funny. Annoyed at him, she expected that she could freely express her irritation by hitting him, and it was funny because she did not expect that he would slap her back in exactly the same manner. She is outraged that he has done so! Maybe it's been accepted for a long time in movies and on TV that it's okay for a woman to slap a man, in comedies at least.
The violence doesn't bother me in fiction, The Doctor and his companions are bound to get caught up in dangerous, deadly situations that they might have a tough time getting out of and sometimes to survive you have to take the violent approach and I think risks in writing is a good thing for the show which I feel these days showrunners including RTD take the coward approach and doesn't take enough risks I feel NuWho isn't violent enough because it is a violent world out there and it shouldn't be ignored and it needs more stakes because without consequences and stakes as you said there's no drama and that does make the show boring after awhile they need to push Dr. Who to the max in my opinion.
I agree completely. You need jeopardy, you need tension. And I agree that Nuwho is playing safe and therefore offering a very bland diet
