Dr Who Special
Discussion
a bit fur coat & no knickers really....
loads of cybermen stomping about, Dervla Kirwan (Yum) going mental, confustion over 'the Doctor' excellent location shots, DT saves the day (again)....
Maybe we're getting spoilt by having an Christmas special every year thesedays.
Slightly o/t but might you think that the most inventive the BBC can be for prime time Christmas evening is...'oh, go on, give 'em a Dr. Who special, that'll do 'em!'
Sorry, I've only had 2 cans all day, so I'm being a bit cynical - soon put a stop to all that!!

Has anyone got a TV guide they can check? I missed it and need to know if it's on again soon. The Freeview guide is a PITA to use.

Utter pants!


Can't be pants- it's Doctor Who (you didn't take it seriously, did you?)!

Glad it wasnt just me that thought it was a load of rubbish, gave it the benefit of the doubt in the hope that something was going to happen, but it was crap.
It's so rare that I feel anything really negative about shows I love as theres always something that redeems it but there really was precious little to hold onto in tonights.How/Why did he end up back there?
This bloke...How/Why him?!
Dervla Kirwan...Gorgeous, superb but how/why did she become key to all this?
Maybe I missed something amongst the chattering around me but there was no backstory to properly draw you in...Thrown in at the deep end and trying to feel your way through like the Dr, but from a viewing perspective it makes no sense to do it like that.
Oh well...Another good few months till it returns I guess
