I don't watch it any more but when I did watch Dr Who I used to kill the sound when the theme tune came on so the neighbours wouldn't know I was watching it. That is how embarrassing it had become.

Towards the end of his speech it was, I'd already guessed the answer by then.

and Sulu was straight, not gay!

It won't make any difference to the viewing figures whether she is 'great' or not. Capaldi was 'great' (in my opinion), it didn't stop the audience falling below three million for the first time in the show's history. Even before they cast a woman I predicted the next series will fall below two...

They are also the people who make up the bulk of regular viewers these days, casual viewers having deserted the show long ago. The ones who think it's a great idea and tune in for the novelty of seeing a female Doctor for the first time will soon tire of it and stop watching.

Doctor Who had a female producer from the outset (Verity Lambert). It wasn't considered because it's a bloody stupid idea which will kill the show stone dead.

The opening scene confused the hell out of me, thought I'd remembered the wrong character dying or else was watching a flashback. Could have done without the bedpan sequence which as far as I can tell served very little purpose.

Not just 'adults', more than half the viewers today are over the age of 50. Four times as many pensioners watch the show as do children who make up only 6% of the total Dr Who audience. Only a third of children watching TV at that time watch Dr Who.

Yes he was and he envisioned someone more like the benign character portrayed by Peter Cushing in the movie version than the cantankerous old misery that Hartnell played.

Just to add to dazed&confused's excellent explanation, Talking Pictures is on multiplex Com7 (UHF channel 33) which is transmitted at low power from Sutton Coldfield and not available in all parts of Coventry. Even with a new HD receiver there is no guarantee they would be able to receive it.

Some classical music...

How big a surprise could it be given that his Secret Service agents will need to make extensive preparations before he can visit anywhere?

Same here. No problem after re-entering username and password.

Wot, no helicopter or unicorns? :wideyed: Helicopters and unicorns - check out the first of your glamorous prom photos

Funny you should say that Nick as I quite often manage to make one rubbish computer out of two decent ones! :(

It won't make a blind bit of difference to May and if it gets out of hand could even benefit the Tories.

They also cheered when benefit cuts were first announced by George Osborne.
