Same here. The email pretty much said the same as the Complaints site.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5

Yep, I got the standard reply too. Unfortunately I think in all the focus on last Saturday's mess, they may miss the important, wider point: that it is incredibly annoying to see promos of this kind on top of any programme, not just Doctor Who. It's just disrespectful of all the people who worked to make the programme and contemptuous of the viewers who tuned in to watch and enjoy the show, not to sit and be advertised at.

Squeezing the end credits, or simply talking over them, is also extremely annoying, and something I wish all broadcasters would stop doing.

Banners ("IPPs" according to people at DS) like we had on Saturday really are the worst intrusion though. And it is bad enough when the commercial channels do this sort of US-style nonsense, but for the BBC to do it - on anything - is just plain wrong. It's a publicly funded public service broadcaster & should not be doing all this sort of self-promoting commercial rubbish.

When I see these sort of things, I get the impression that the broadcasters consider myself and all the other viewers to be idiots.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5

I've sent them a follow-up complaint along those specific lines. Let's see what they have to say.

Especially as the sole purpose of the show being trailed is to provide advertising for some west end show, which, IMO, violates the BBC no advertising rule anyway.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5

A good conclusion to the story, I think.

Nice additions to this series' arc too... More on the crack, with confirmation of earlier fan speculation that Amy is tied to everything somehow. And River... Interesting... I wonder if she "killed" The Doctor?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5

Excellent line from Amy at the end, when she

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5

Funny that 26/06/2010 is a Saturday eh?? So that will make is episode 12?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5

I can't believe he was trying to say no to her :(

Re: Doctor Who : Season 5

Am I the only one who thought Amy sounded like a child when the Doc left her in the forest?
