I mean, come on. If you're a fan of the show, this has to be the ultimate fanwanky two-parter. ALL the Companions for the past four years. Daleks. DAVROS!

Words cannot describe how excited I am aout tonights episode! I mean seriously. To see Sarah Jane and her son and the Torchwood team in one episode with the Doctor... I am really curious how they are going to play that and if they will be fair when it comes to screen time.

I think I also saw Mickey in the previews and that makes me even more excited:) Yeah, yeah, I know. But I really have a soft spot for him. And for Ianto. So they better think twice before hurting any of them.

Though, what surprises me is the fact that I'm very 'meh' about Rose... I liked her on the show but right now I'd rather writers concentrate on Martha and the awesomess that is Donna. Donna really rocked this season and I can't wait to see what role will she play here. Because after the previous episodes I know she will have a role to play.

OMG Doctor Who! heh


myLot reputation of 78/100. Wolfechu (815)   ranked 19 out of 144 in doctor who  6 months ago

Yep, Mickey's in it, looking at the publicity still. I'll post the pic in a second if it's possible (still new to this), but it can be seen at http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/s4/images/S4_12 .

Jackie, too!

I really enjoyed Season Two of Torchwood, and looking forward to Seeing Ianto. He was such a cipher in the first series, but they developed the character so well...

Rose has a really bad week last week. Sounded like she had a bag of marbles in her mouth. Apparently she's back on form this week, though.

I'm just really jealous because series 4 hasn't come to Australia yet. cry

Well, this is the sort of thing P2P technology was made for. I'm not suggesting you go and download it, or where to get it from, because that would be very illegal I'm sure. But I've seen places with 2000 seeds and thousands more peers on a Saturday night;)


myLot reputation of 81/100. Piscesmoon (1927)   ranked 34 out of 144 in doctor who  6 months ago

Good point, Wolfechu. Enjoy tonight. Hopefully I will too.

Why don't you goto the BBC website & download the BBC IPlayer? Doctor Who is available to download direct from the BBC & The latest episode is usually available within 24 hours of broadcast thumbup

myLot reputation of 78/100. Wolfechu (815)   ranked 19 out of 144 in doctor who  6 months ago

Tried the iPlayer: It's awesome if you're actually in the UK. Due to copyright and licencing, though, it simply won't work outside the UK. Believe me, I've tried it, with all manner of proxies. As far as I'm aware, no-one's managed it yet.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Jaytech (617)   ranked 22 out of 144 in doctor who  6 months ago

It never even dawned on me that it would be restricted to UK residents, sorry about that. There are other sites out there that stream popular tv shows & movies live such as http://www.flickpeek.com,, could be worth a try.


myLot reputation of 78/100. Wolfechu (815)   ranked 19 out of 144 in doctor who  6 months ago

I stick to ("currants") mostly because they take a couple of hours to download, then I can stick them on a flash drive and go watch them down the hall at a friends. He has better speakers;)

I'm actually in Cardiff in South Wales where they film most of the program & Torchwood, & a few months back they filmed right outside my mothers flat. They needed an extra power supply to this huge crane with lights that was shining down the street & they ran an extension cable into my mums shed lol


myLot reputation of 78/100. Wolfechu (815)   ranked 19 out of 144 in doctor who  6 months ago

I used to work with a guy who did the odd bit part; he's in a couple of episodes of Life on Mars, for one. He turned down a bit part in Voyage of the Damned. Turned it down! Mostly because we were a long way from Cardiff for three days work, but partly because to fit the feel of the episode, he'd have had to cut his hair short;)

Personally, I'd have gnawed my own arm off to get a nonspeaking part.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Jaytech (617)   ranked 22 out of 144 in doctor who  6 months ago

I was hinting to them for a non speaking part the night they filmed here, cos they were filming lots of people simply running down the street. I'm sure I could have managed that lol

I can't wait either! Thanks for reminding me so I can go find it on my torrent site.
It looked like Torchwood and Sarah Jane showed up too from last week's preview.
I usually hate two-parters, but just am so excited to see this one. I hope it isn't a let down. Sometimes after looking forward to something for so long, it can't live up to expectation. I just want it to be brilliant.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Jaytech (617)   ranked 22 out of 144 in doctor who  6 months ago

It turns out it's a 3 parter, it continues again next week. But it was a great episode tonight happy

Have to say, having now seen it, it was pretty special. I do think it's interesting though that the classic series was criticised in it's later years for relying too much on it's past. I reckon the current series has done that more than ever!

I loved it to bits, though I've avoided watching it again for now, as I suspect the writer in me would pick it to bits, and I'd like it less. There's bits I'd have liked to be done that weren't. Example: The towing of Earth back by the TARDIS: I'd have had it materialise AROUND the Earth, and have the Doc open a broom cupboard somewhere to show it, hanging in a vast, roundel-covered room. Just to belabour the point of how big the ship is, AND to give the people at the Mill something to do other than Dalek shots;)

And yeah, the old series did get a bit self-referential in the eighties. I never see this as a downside, mind. That was MY era, when I was growing up, and I loved it to bits. I certainly love when they do a little nod to the past nowadays.
