Didn't the BBCA just finish that season with Donna?
So they're gonna replay it for those who might've missed it?

Maybe it's the sci-fi channel that's going to do the Donna series. Ahhh, I get them mixed up! I have my dvr set to record any Doctor Who on either channel.

Looking forward to Thursday. I've been watching the reruns of the last series and can't help but pick up on the number of one-liners that suggest David T wouldn't be back. Don't know if they were clues or I'm reading into it.
When do you in the US see the 'Christmas special'?
I wonder what's going to happen with the specials that they're filming ~ whether they're going to be on spread through the year or not.

Hopefully we will see it in January. We're not as far behind you as we used to be.

Last year, we had to wait for the Christmas special but we were like 3 weeks behind the UK in the regular shows. I don't know what SciFi plans to do this year regarding the specials, whether they will spread them out or air them all at once. SciFi does tend to want to counter-program on non-sweeps periods with it's most well known scripted series, like our USA Network does. Since "sweeps" periods for ratings are November, February, and May, that's when the broadcast networks put on the shows that they think will get them the most ratings (for example, American Idol will run from January to May here, and the finals will begin in February).

I had heard that the specials would be spread out.

Soooo.... anyone who saw it... what did you think?
I loved it, though I admit that I caught on to the situation pretty quickly for me.... Loved the 'Allons-y' and the ummm... elevator/tow scenes.
Can't wait for the specials... though am wondering who will be the Doctor for the Christmas special next year to lead into series 5.

ADKFJDAFK!
I've been reading for the past two weeks and haven't kept up with any television, aside from the Christmas special. I wouldn't have even known if you hadn't mentioned it, agapetos! Now I'm way too excited.
Speaking of the Christmas special, I liked it a lot more than The Poseidon Adventure from last year. Yeah, the twist was obvious...and exactly what the Cybermen were doing was a bit of a mystery. It was very entertaining though. The effects were extravagant, but added to the excitement for me.

David T was shown on the news talking about it and said that he was a bit jealous of 'the new chap' (which had people specilating that it was another man, not a woman) and then added that they would have 'a lot of changes'.

In the old series they made it quite clear that there were just so many regenerations for the doctor. But, in the newer series they don't mention that there is a limit. DH and I are wondering if they are going to conveniently never mention it and hope this new generation of Whovians will not know any better. Even if they do mention it I'm sure they'll find a way around it if they want to keep the show going. This came up in the special (I think, somewhere anyhow!) and it was said that the Time Lord's impossed the number of regenerations. Given the Dr is the last known Time Lord, it would make sense that he continues regenerating as necessary.
I'm finding it curious having someone who isn't incredibly well known step into the Dr's shoes ~ and what big shoes they are to fill! I liked the interview with him where he said they called and offered him the job and he spent 10 minutes pacing around his room, he was so happy and shocked and everything ~ I've done that a couple of times with jobs I've been offered.
But 26! So young! And we have such a long wait to see him.

My mind is NOT that open
and he appears (at least in pictures, cause I know he' got fans somewhere) to be a more geekier Doctor than the last couple.
Yep...we'll see I guess.

I don't think he can outdo David Tennant in pure geeky loveliness.
LOL I dunno about geeky, but he sure was lovely

When did the SF channel play the Dr Who holiday specials? (or has that not happened yet?) I saw no ads for it whatsoever.....

Having watched Dr Who since the days of Hartnell, I am just not used to that kind of scenario.
