To be a bit scared

Of Doctor Who, or am I just a big whimp. It really creeps me out, most of the time. Or are you a bit scared too.

Eek

never watched the crap

the trailers are rubbishy enough to put anyone off for life

OhYouBadBadKitten · 03/09/2011 20:32

This one was verrrrrrry scary. I ended up clutching dd

AgentZigzag · 03/09/2011 20:33

I never watch it either, nobody could ever live up to Tom Baker.

Young upstart fake doctors

CoffeeIsMyFriend · 03/09/2011 20:34

I went upstairs to read after about 10 minutes.

rubbish, absolute rubbish.

DD is in our bed though. She was scared as a scared thing.

inatrance · 03/09/2011 20:39

Those doll things were well creepy!

CoffeeIsMyFriend · 03/09/2011 20:48

quite glad I didnt see it. I am not a fan of those porcelain dolls with real hair etc anyway.

DS2 went to bed when it was only 20 in (had enough). He's since been up because he can't sleep approximately 17 times!

RhinestoneCowgirl · 03/09/2011 20:54

Thought it was a great episode - classic Dr Who

Nice and creepy - thanks Mr Gatiss...

Nagoo · 03/09/2011 21:00

I haven't watched it yet, the trailer looked terrifying.

I love new Dr Who but it's not family viewing IMO.

AgentZigzag · 03/09/2011 21:03

I thought that was the spec for a Dr Who script Nagoo?

'Make small children hide behind setees'.

missmogwi · 03/09/2011 21:03

It scared the bejeesus out of me nevermind the kids. It was a bit much for the time it was on! Although I am a mardarse.

MotherMucca · 03/09/2011 21:05

Oh, bugger, forgot about it being on. iPlayer here I come.

SarahStratton · 03/09/2011 21:06

It was great. This series is shaping up to be much better than the last one. Except they forgot to let Hitler out of the cupboard last week...

Nagoo · 03/09/2011 21:11

agent My DS is only 4 and I watch it first, and if it's not too bad he can see it.

"but I'm brave... and I can hide under the blanket"

PigeonPie · 03/09/2011 23:18

osb YANBU - I was too good job that DS1 is still too young to watch it

BallerinaBetty · 03/09/2011 23:55

I think we must be really odd cos none of us (me, dh and 12 yr old ds) were scared tonight.

Now if it was weeping angels....

Claw3 · 03/09/2011 23:58

Dr Who used to scare the life out of me as a kid, i havent watched it since. Mind you so did Worzel Gummidge, which probably says more about me than Dr Who being scarey!

Tee2072 · 04/09/2011 07:51

Sarah I had that same thought!

I found it a bit creepy but terrifying. Weeping Angels and The Silence are terrifying, IMHO.

Tee2072 · 04/09/2011 07:51

URGH! But not terrifying!

SarahStratton · 04/09/2011 10:21

The Weeping Angels and the one with the gas masks were the scariest. I only have to say 'I want my..' for DD2 to leg it and do as she's asked.
