Really looking forward to this one!
How does one go about getting the mods to pin this thread before the episode airs?

Garrick Hagon appears as an undertaker in this and thus joins the list of actors who have appeared in both versions of Doctor Who.

He first appeared as Ky in The Mutants back in '72

AAAH cannot believe how fast a week has gone by already!

Yeah should be pinned....hopefully on Saturday it will be pinned to allow for further discussion

But i am so excited for Mercy, love the write up in the Radio Times about it....seriously every week feels like a movie premiere is about to happen, love that feeling!

Also i cannot believe we will be bang on halfway through the Pondisodes and only have two weeks left it has flown by!

But yeah, CANT WAIT!

The first episode was pinned on the day of the broadcast, until sometime the next Saturday evening I think.

I asked for the dinosaur episode to be pinned during the Saturday evening, and again on the Monday and it was pinned on the Wednesday (?) I think.

Start asking now, OP

The asking has begun! So if any mods see this thread in the meantime, stick a pin through the top of it, please!

Sheriff Who....?

"He rode a blazing saddle, he wore a shining star - his job to offer battle to bad men near and far"...


Or will it be more like Carry On Cowboy?

The cyborg reminds me of Boris the Animal from MIB3.

My, that's a big gun in your pocket!



I wonder if people will pick up on any supposed inconsistent continuity in this episode? Which will turn out to be that they just didn't see that bit which explained it

can just imagine the melody of "the last chance saloon" ringing through as they stroll down the street.

It's
Spoiler
. The author has acknowledged Westworld and appears to be telling a different story.

Isn't this a little like saying Spaceships and evil villains? Hasn't that been done before? Flash Gordon?
