I thought it was utter rubbish. I can see it getting canned soon, although it was No#3 in yesterday's overnight ratings - behind EastEnders and Corrie.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

How is it you can see it getting canned, when the powers-that-be at the BBC can't see that?

The show is flying as high in the ratings as ever, and the audience appreciation index is sky high as well.

You appear to be confusing your personal taste with the commissioning policy of a national broadcaster with a remit to serve a wide audience. ;)

I think Christmas specials of any series shouldn't be taken too seriously .They are just meant to be a bit of fun and most are not linked to the main series' timeline ...see Eureka and Warehouse 13

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

Keep your hair on! Just a figure of speech!! :)

Doctor Who was 2nd in the ratings last year, and 3rd again in 2009, so yes you are right - it's a big pull and winner.


Perhaps I am! :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

Thanks, but it it referenced a story that I thought was arguably one of my favourites in the original series.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

I just watched it since I fell asleep watching it yesterday. I enjoyed it.

Question; I was just reading something about Doctor Who on TVbytheNumbers. Do you post on there as MattD?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

No, our own Matt D might though..

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

Nope, not me.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

l have just watched and it was pretty good in my mind but my pretty good might be someone else's poor but having different opinions of things are what lifes all about.:D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

Dr Who tends to swing from episodes based at children to episodes based towards more an adult audience. With it being xmas it was a suitable childrens episode though still enjoyable to any adult who realised that fact ;)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

What are your reactions to Helen Mirren's recent comment regarding the series?

I realise it was made to the Daily Star so should be taken with several council winter salt mountains . I think her age might be a restriction, but it would be an interesting experiment to say the least.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

After watching her in RED last year I think she could pull it off....

Just look at the age of the original Dr. Who's

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

I'd like to see a 3 doctors episode, with the 3 doctors since the reboot, you could even throw Paul Mcgann too.

Wouldn't it be great to see his doctor again?

Re: Doctor Who : Season 7
 

There is definitely scope to give McGann screentime, though I think some sort of flashback would be the best way to do it.

Multi-Doctor episodes can be fun but TBH I think they're a bit ... <insert slightly rude term commonly used on Who forums to describe ideas that give excessive thrills to hardcore fans>. ;)
