Dr Who

[pmanson]

Just sat and watched the first episode of the latest Dr Who series.

I actually quite enjoyed it, nice light hearted and funny.

Ideal Sunday night TV (Don't know when they're planning to show it though)

Well worth a watch!

She wasn't too bad actually. Saying that I did cringe a few times when she spoke.

What? Please tell me I didn't miss this! Please tell me it's repeated!

EDIT: Read the original post too quickly and panicked! Ahhh....

Hanging my head in shame here but I can't remember watching any of the original versions so can't really compare like for like but I thought it was good light hearted entertainment which was very easy to follow.

This episode was set in London and the special effects were very good. (One slightly dodgy bit involving a wheely bin though)

Where did you get it from? Can I get a copy?

Sounds worth watching. Was it a 30 minute episode with story to be continued, or a one hour series with the story plot resolved?

It was about 45mins long. The main story plot was resolved but with a slight overlap. (Trying not give too much away!)

The overlap might be because its the first episode and it is setting the rest of series up.

It seems there's a leaked copy on the web somewhere:

Guess it will be on TV soon then

There is a torrent file for it..

Tangent : can the Beeb complain if it does get circulated on the internet? It was paid for with public money, after all.

As you were....

Cool. Funnily enough, I just did a search and found the same torrent. I'll phone home and ask my wife to kick it off...

He's still fighting the Daleks then...

So if you watch it before it is released on the BBC I guess it must be something to do with time travel.

Wonder if the Dr who could pop down the bookies for me

Its an early cut of the first episode without the new theme etc. Wait until the 26th!

I watched it last night. Very impressed! Not sure about Christopher Eccleston yet, his Doctor seems almost autistic.

I thought Eccleston was really good (I've been after a leather jacket like that for ages) and there is definitely something about Billie Piper. (You so would )

I wouldn't be surprised if the BBC leaked it on purpose to drum up a bit of interest. I only found the torrent when I read there webpage and found out the episode was called Rose.

I thought it was utter dross...

The plotline was infantile, the Doctor came over as an incompetent idiot, the filming and effects seemed amateurish at best.

I thought it must be aimed at the under ten's or something to be honest.

No use asking me. I'm still hiding behind the couch!
