Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

A combination of things no doubt, but it also has the benefit of exposing it to a larger audience. It was always sad to see the last 3-4 eps attracting lower ratings due to them being screened in the summer.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

In case anyone is unclear - its split as first 7 eps, then last 6.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

Did anyone spot a few things in the trailer?

Specifically the shot of the tenth Doctors console room? Rory and Amy were also there with a big ball of energy.

Digital Spy have a handy 'scene by scene' step through of the new trailer http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/do...-by-scene.html

You will have a mid-season finale on a cliffhanger and the Season finale two-parter to watch :)

Although I dont have any idea why they do it? Top Gear has the same format.

I assume it's to spread it out or something?

Because the American TV industry is geared that way, and the BBC will do whatever is required to give their shows the maximum exposure over there?

Given how the complete series (already broadcast in the UK) would be available on the net before the show's even returned from the notorious mid season break, it would potentially jeopardize the viewing figures, level of success and as such any revenue streams.

Although I've never watched BBC America (Maybe they run UK shows from start to finish?) i would guess the BBC would love to sell their programs to as many networks as they can, so will bend over backwards to make them as US friendly as possible.

Which of course means, at some point, we'll probably have to suffer another American doctor :(

Regarding the upcoming series..

Spoiler:

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

Don't forget it starts this Saturday, folks!

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

Reminder!

The new series of Doctor Who starts this evening at 6pm, on BBC1 and BBC1 HD :)

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

Oh stop it! I'm so excited right now I wish I had my own TARDIS so I could skip the next half hour. :hyper: :D

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

I can't decide whether to watch it or record it and then watch both parts back to back. I know I will enjoy it but having to wait a week to see what happens is the pits. :(

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

Decent build up to the second episode, Pretty good start to the series imo.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

Good ep.

Also nice to see SF/cult TV regulars W. Morgan Sheppard & Mark Sheppard in the same show.

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

The CBBC tribute should have been on after the show on BBC HD instead imo
Available here if you missed it http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...sabeth_Sladen/

Good episode look forward to next week

Re: Doctor Who : Season 6

So...

- The control room thing in the tunnels reminded me of the ship in "The Lodger". Was it the same?

- How can Matt Smith's Doctor truly die? Wouldn't that mean that Matt Smith would have to be the last one, & so mean that the Doctor couldn't regenerate again if Smith left the show? Must be a way around it...

- The Silence... can someone remind me which ep they/it were in in the previous series?
