[totalfusion]

New series starts Saturday - just saw on TV.

I hope it continues to be as good as it has since it's resurection.

 

[Damian Murphy]

I'm really looking forward to it ,too.

I'm all grown up now...don't have to hide behind a cushion anymore when I watch it

 

[Damian Murphy]

I doubt there's a cushion big enough to hide me

 

[Jeltz]

I'll be recording it unless my laptop can pick up the signal via its crappy aerial, I'll be in the tent then!

 

[totalfusion]

If you do miss it it will probably be on iPlayer - as wellas being repeated every day for the next 6 months ...

I can't wait tho

Apparently you can also download them using something called 'bittorrent' ? Of course I would'nt advocate it.

He also has no eyebrows.

That's cos all the hair on his body has migrated to that mop on the top of his head.

Sorry haven't seen Dr Who since John Pertwee performed at the IOW festival in 1970.

However this might interest you if you like the theme tune...about 30 minutes in, if you haven't the patience.

By the way die hard fans get a bit annoyed when you call it Dr Who. You have to use Doctor Who. Then you can ask them if Who is his first or second name.

...only a die hard fan would know that.

Dr is a title that precedes the surname, like Mr or Mrs.

Whereas Sir, Rev and (I think) Prof should only be used before the given name.

Is the "joke" whether Doctor is his given name and Who his family or whether Doctor is an academic/medical title?

I love the idea that is what passes for a joke among Whoodies (Whovians? Whoovers? Whookers? Anyway, saddoes.)

I love it when Ollie puts the oars in and gives things a good stir

I hate Doctor Who.

Ask me why.

No, don't.

OK I'll tell you.

Cybermen.

Scared the crap out of me in about 1976.

So now you know.

Bitter?

Yes.

Actually just a half, thanks. I'm at work.

And now "Doctors" (so-called) are gurning madmen with the ham-acting skills of a playground show-off on acid.

Doctors my arse.

He did you know.

I'm going Private.

Very good Sir.
