That was the most godawful pile of fucking shit RTD has yet imposed upon the Who fans, young and old, of the UK. How much gayer and jesusy is he going to make that character? What the fuck was all that shit tobnight? Load of crap, that's what. I don't even know where to begin.

I thought that episode was great - going to watch a "repeat" to spot all the piss takes I missed first time tho...

And Kylie looked well fit

Poor scheduling because it doesn't suit you? TBH there's ne better time to put it on than just now, for the majority of people. Not the BBC's fault you are special.

Anyway, they did you a favour. That was a pile of fucking wank.

The new theme tune is shite, and yes, at least the season 4 trailer looks promising.

Oh no, that wasn't very good at all. Too much running, shouting and slow-mo scenes with bits that made barely any sense.

And what's with people killing themselves on purpose? Silly idiots.

*edit* Oh - silly me, they are repeating it. In a fucking week. At 2 in the afternoon, and then at 7pm again. So we get to miss it twice all over again for the same fucking reason.

Cunts.

I'd rather they not repeat it three times in a week thanks very much.

Have you not heard of these new fangled video recorders, Sky+, PVRs or any of the other means by which we can record TV to watch at our leisure? Oh no - you think the BBC are a bunch of cunts for not arranging their schedules to fit your convenience!

When in reality, they are cunts for making a shit Dr. Who Xmas special.

Just 'cause you lot got to watch it.

Yer Bunch o' Bloody Cunts

No, I don't have Sky+, nor any other TV recording device because I only want to watch about 3 bloody programs on the tv, and 2 of those I torrent about a year before they get here.

No, the BBC are not cunts for scheduling it when they did, but for failing to think about decent repeat times. The whole point about a repeat schedule should be to provide an alternative time slot, not just put it on at basically the same time again.

They have BBC3 and 4, both of which are under-used as it is, and in the past they have used BBC3 to provide a later time slot for those of us whose kids are too little to watch it. This year they've decided to show the oh-so-important Dr. Who Confidential and then Pulp Fiction, because they obviously found out that someone, somewhere, had only watched it 99 times already.

Bah, Humbug, etc..

Haven't watched the episode yet (just the first few minutes) but as others have said, the new theme music is indeed a pile of old toss.

I'm so glad the evil Kylie got her comeuppance. Why she didn't engage the forks on the forklift I'll never know as she'd have finished her part off quicker (but at least there was a result in the end..when eventually..she drove off the end), and why they hung around afterwards for a minute in a "oh no..she's gone moment" I don't know. Five minutes with Kylie and the Doctor is already thinking he's in there? Whatever next..John Sims back as the Doctor for the next incarnation so he can appeal to the ladies?

But considering the rather good three final episodes of Series III (which were dangerously good television) was a christmas cracker load of throwaway rubbish. They might as well have taken the scripts of Nightmare of Eden, A Night to Remember and the Poseidon Adventure, threw them off the roof of BBC Television Centre and got some kid from Totally Dr Who to pick up all the pages he could from the Blue Peter garden..and then wrote the script from whatever the little pipsqueak could find. Even the bad guy looked like John Lumic - nearly dead guy in a wheelchair, a row of tubes either side of his breast and a collection of humanoid robots doing his bidding on a floating barge in the sky. And the queen at the end..words escape me. I only hope RTD isn't hoping for a gong out of all this..I think the moment has passed.

No, but I'm the same mind as Goatboy and I didn't want to waste the opportunity..
