CTs back, I wonder how she helps?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I'm still trying to get my breath back. I loved the fast moving action and the way the plot moved toward regeneration. The Christmas special can't come soon enough. :)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Ms LSainsbury talked nearly all the way through it so I'll have to watch it again in the week....

She better hope I'm not in the room next time Midsummer Murders or Spooks is on!!

Anyway, I loved the way they teased a 'heel turn' for the Doctor at the end - anyone else think that sort of scenario will lead in to his next regeneration?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

That was bleedin' awesome!

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

best Episose since journy's end ! loved every minute from beginning to end

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Did anyone notice the distinct similarity between the way the Ood appeared at the end and the way the Watcher appeared in some of the classic series eps (thinking particulary of how he appeared a few times in "Logopolis" around the time of the regeneration.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Also the way the cloister bell chimed signalling impending doom :D

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

AFAIK The Watcher only ever appeared in Logopolis. But they may have been referencing that with the Ood. They were certainly referencing Logopolis with the cloister bell sounding at the end of the episode, as that was a feature of Logopolis too.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Oh yeah, was that a reference to Journey's End in the flashback?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Yep! I thought that too.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Overnight ratings for this were 9.1 million, which is very good.

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

I was not at all impressed with it. Still the christmas one did look good from the brief trailer. Probably just 'cos fancy Donna though ;)

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Interesting ... what didn't you like about it?

Re: Doctor Who : 2008 & 2009 Specials
 

Lots of little things to be honest, but I'm going to put it up on m projector later and try watching it again, I was only watching it on a small TV last night so that didn't help at all.
