Dibble Jan 2022 6:20pm, 2 Jan 2022 885 posts	Quote Pin Dibble Agreed I liked that. Aisling Bea was particularly good.

Lots of nitpicks from me and felt it didn't live up to the promise it showed early on, but that's pretty good - I don't bother worrying about specific little bits unless it's at least quite good. Definitely in my top half dozen of the Whittaker/Chibnall era. > Aisling Bea was particularly good. I agree
GordonG Feb 2022 12:28pm, 24 Feb 2022 8,994 posts	Quote Pin GordonG random sci-fi related question: i've seen a number of sci fi sites relating to things like Marvel or other shows that involve time travel, and the phrase 'timey-wimey' pops up quite regularly. I know this phrase was used memorably in Blink, but does anyone know if that was a phrase used regularly in the sci fi world before then? or did Blink introduce that phrase and make it popular? (there's even a scene in a charming film called The Map of Tiny Perfect Things where someone uses that phrase and the other person says "now you're just quoting from Doctor Who"!)
GordonG Feb 2022 12:37pm, 24 Feb 2022 8,995 posts	Quote Pin GordonG oh, a quick Google claims it originated in a 2016 version (possibly a comic, not the tv show) of DW, where Jo Grant says Timey but the 3rd doctor cuts her off. So it seems it did begin with DW, just not the 10th doctor.
