You need to stop looking at yourself in the mirror so much, NW. Agree on Craven. Just put him up there because he is very well known.

You buy a bottle of beer for £7 though and I would assume you have paid for a bottle of beer that you like and that you like the taste of. You can pay £24 for a football match and end up with a pile of crap.

Some would say a woman armed with a screwdriver is a lot more dangerous. :)

Yeah, I find it puzzling too. You think of horror films and he is right up there with the likes of Wes Craven etc. You only have to watch the Walking Dead to see his mark written all over it.

George A Romero: the zombie master whose ideas infected American cinema Guardian here are calling Romero a maestro who invented a whole genre of film. Don't you think that warrants his place on this forum death list?

Also, have to add in to the mix that just because you or someone else hasn't heard of someone it doesn't mean they don't warrant any coverage. Case in point was when Philip Seymour Hoffman died a fair few people were contacting the Beeb to complain as why a bloke they had never, ever heard of...

Very important player in horror film history, Bazza and a very well known figure for anyone who knows a bit about film.

Fantastic! Cheers. Exactly what I was thinking. I think that Talking Pictures have made an error in saying it needs to be a HD recorder rather than a HD box. That was the puzzling thing for me. Why would it have to be a recorder?

Yeah, get that, but on their own website they have a checker and my parents' post code is definitely on the reception list, so they are telling me they should receive it.

I think £24 will put a fair few off. Some just go to watch the City whoever they are playing, but for others, the draw of the opposition can be a deciding factor too.

Because of BBC cutbacks I think you will now find that it is Empty Beaker.

Yep. Didn't want to say it out loud so as to offend people, but it is all very simple. Doctor Who and Star Trek are a lot more thought provoking and ask moral questions such as involving the playing of God and of the taking of or the saving of a life etc. Moral dilemmas to be mulled over.

Ridiculous! My boobs aren't even half the size of hers.

Well I'm really looking forwards to it and if people think it childish I would counter that by saying it is no more childish than Star Wars and in fact, Doctor Who has a lot more social commentary and moral compass about it I reckon. If anyone thinks it childish I would urge them to watch the...

Disagree, Marty. You have to remember back then it was very much a masculine world and men snared up pretty much all the major parts in anything. If any character was ever going to b a woman I would say Doctor Who is the perfect choice. We already have a character who can regenerate and become...

What about all the other Beeb programmes you don't like? Don't quite get the argument, TGP. Doctor Who gets sold all around the world and is very much a flagship programme for them. Lots of BBC programmes I don't like such as Call the Midwife and Death in Paradise and EastEnders etc, but you...

You just wait until he gets on to the negatives. That was just the plus points.

Did annoy me last series. Bill (new companion) spent the entire series reminding everyone that she was a lesbian.

Yeah, they wouldn't know HD if it came up and smacked them in the face and they have never recorded a TV programme in their life. They either stay up to watch a programme, or miss it and go to bed and it is 99% the latter. Never recorded when they had a VHS either and won't use pause or rewind...

Just been round and retuned it and they haven't got it. Checked the postcode and TPTV said they can receive at their post code. It clearly says though on their website that you have to have a Freeview HD recorder, or HD tv. They have neither.
