Any idea how to print that? Can't open it with Photoshop or Acrobat.

Illustrator or another vector package should handle it

Well I found this: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/

It does the job of converting .svg to .png neatly for free.

I hope the xmas episode is a good one - looks it, except... they set this up in an episode of the Eccleston season, the banker chap from the adverts had a photo. Who was there at the titanic, but it was Ecclestons who.

Anyway, tonight ep - loved it, a HELL of a lot of nods to other stuff though... the Darth Vader / Flash Gordon ending for the Master, the Dobby (Harry Potter) creature the doc got turned into... the Superman 'lets turn back time' sequence among many. I really REALLY wished that Simm had spent time studying Delgado's master though, instead of some bonkers musical.

Must admit though, when Jack anounced he was the Face of Boe my jaw dropped 5 feet. You have to wonder why he didnt talk to the doc as if he knew him though back in Ecclestons season, and why the doc didnt know him anyway if he's so ruddy important, and "old as time itself".

Anyway - last years xmas special sucked harder than the black hole around the impossible planet, fingers crossed for this one.

PS: for those who like Mrs Saxon

"Laws of Time", innit?

Probably.

(I'd love to read the book where the Laws of Time are scribbled down because it must be the most confusing book ever written. "You can do this, except when you can't, but as long as you don't mention this before you do that, then you can reverse the polarity of the neutron flow and do this but then must forget you can do that from then on, because it must be unavailable in episode 7 of series 17, when you must declare it 'impossible'. Even though it happens ten episodes later and is not only possible but apparently very easy to do".)

Because I'd fuck her and love it, I would.

Fixed that for you.

So would I too.

And HGFB. (I mean he would too, not I want to fuck him you understand)

One horrible thought... given that RTD seems to think he has to out-do himself with every season's finale, I'm absolutely dreading next year's...

Cor, that was a bit of a dog's-breakfast wasn't it?

All the beautiful work done in the Human Nature two parter and Blink was chucked out of the window in favour of a televisual chaingun of the writer going "I know we need THIS, THIS, THIS and THIS... ooo, and some of THIS!"

Bits of it were good, but the whole thing seemed really disjointed... going straight from last years cliffhanger to a One Year Later board? Jedi Funeral? Doctor Gollum? Flash Gordon ending? The bow of the fucking Titanic for fucking fucks sake?

Although it may just be me, but I couldn't watch the Master's death scene without thinking or the Doctor lol thread linked to a couple of pages ago..

"nooooooo, tiemcock!!!"

That, quite simply, was fucking awful.

All the more depressing when it is on the end of what was by far the best series of new Who yet.

Damn. It took a week but both Jed and I lost the bet. We thought Arron would be the first one to compare him to Delgado.

Sorry folks but that was a pretty lame episode - the bad bits sort of killed the few that where good.

There's an article about HD over on Digital Spy and this was said about Doctor Who and Torchwood

Doctor Who was produced in standard definition because the sets would have required much more money and time spent on them to make them work in high definition. "It's sets and CGI. We would have to get six months ahead of ourselves. We couldn't just simply switch [to HD]. We'd have to take it off air for a year," Potts adds. Though in contrast, spin-off Torchwood was made in HD because it used a quarter of the special effects of Doctor Who, making the budget and schedule allow for high definition production in this case.

Oooo. C'mon BBC. I wanna see Gwen snogging that alien lady in HD
