Grrr! Was bad enough with the demise of "mad eyebrow" doctor who and now putting up with the advert for "no eyebrow" doctor who, I wish there was a "hide" button ..

YAdeffoNBU

I have never watched one, soooooo not interested.

Surprise · 01/04/2010 19:41

YABVVU. It's one of the BBC's best programmes. What I object to is the constant promos for Lloyd Webber's latest publicity stunt. How annoying are they?

CrystalQueen · 01/04/2010 19:41

YABU. Doctor Who rocks. Plus with the new series being on, I won't have to endure watch any crap classic 1960s episodes on DVD with my DH.

Bigmouthstrikesagain · 01/04/2010 19:42

Yabvu - I am looking forward to Saturday and so are many other people.

AnzoneioBanderas · 01/04/2010 19:43

its shit
stupid pretedn monsters

OOH i am scared

l39 · 01/04/2010 19:43

I hope YABU. As long as it hasn't gone to pot with the new Doctor, it's the only good thing they make nowadays.

(Fingers crossed for Saturday)

Katisha · 01/04/2010 19:52

I am a fan (or was - remains to be seen if I stay one) but I do think that they could take the publicity down a notch or two without the danger of people not realising it is on...

Steery · 01/04/2010 19:53

yes!

RustyBear · 01/04/2010 19:55

This has made me realise how little I watch BBC1 now - I haven't seen a single trailer for it. In fact, apart from Question Time, Doctor Who probably is the only thing I watch on BBC1.

HinnyPet · 01/04/2010 20:49

It's just unrealistic and bleh. The new non-eyebrowed bloke has the personality of a goldfish.
So there!!!

christopher eccleston was watchable david tennant put me off a bit

quite fancied tom baker too

chegirlWILLbeserene · 01/04/2010 20:56

Every time they show a trailer it sends my DS into a frenzy of epic proportions. Takes fricking ages to calm him down.

It doesnt have the same affect on me since my beloved DT regenerated.

porkypoo · 01/04/2010 21:03

Cant wait for Doctor who TBH... hope new doctor matches up to Mr Tennant...

SalFresco · 01/04/2010 21:11

I went from actively disliking Doctor Who - was never a fan as a child and unimpressed when they brought it back with Christopher Eccleston - to choking back the tears when David Tennant regenerated

It is DS1's fault. He loves Dr WHo, and idolises David Tennant. We spent months preparing him for the regeneration, to minimise trauma.

YABU, of course!

ShowOfHands · 01/04/2010 21:11

You're complaining that Dr Who is unrealistic??

AvadaKedavra · 01/04/2010 21:12

YABVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU!

BessieBoots · 01/04/2010 21:15

YABExtremelyU!!!!!!

I fancied David Tennant, and now I will fancy Matt Smith.

Macforme · 01/04/2010 21:24

Autistic son= Dr Who obsession= resigned mother who has ended up loving it too...

Going to miss DT but am intrigued to see how next Doc fares.

The build up is half of the fun...

Bigmouthstrikesagain · 01/04/2010 21:25

You are right of course Hinny Dr Who is not very realistic what they should do is nix the aliens and the Dr could be a delusional paranoid schizophrenic trying to convice evryone he meets he is in fact a 900 yo time lord from the planet Gallifrey... that could be an interesting gritty drama on the effects of care in the community...

MoreCrackThanHarlem · 01/04/2010 21:35

YABVU
How dare you?

Unrealistic?
lolololololololololol

ShowOfHands · 01/04/2010 21:36

Or the investigation into John Hoo, accused of falsely using the title MD and the legal wranglings that ensue with the GMC. Andrew Wakefield could be the villain or hero depending on whether you pressed your red button at the start.

HinnyPet · 01/04/2010 21:38

That is a very interesting idea for a programme...

I fucking hate dr fucking who. They can axe the bill but keep a bloke with a phone box grrrrr

taffetacat · 01/04/2010 21:52

YABVVVVVVVVVVVVU

Am totally with BessieBoots. Why is that? I know in reality I don't fancy Matt Smith, but as soon as he's Dr Who I will.

DS (6) is very excited about Saturday. But not as excited as his Mummy.
