how so?

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 12/05/2013 22:29

How oops or how was it sent out?
Oops because it was meant to be sent out AFTER it is aired here, and instead people will be putting it on the net as torrents, meaning people here can see it before it is aired.
It was sent out in Blu ray form to those people who pre ordered a hard copy! Confused

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 12/05/2013 22:46

ooh, really? can people do that, then? order hard copies of shows immediately?

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 12/05/2013 22:48

oh i see, so the series 7 dvds have gone out already? shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. someone's getting sacked.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 12/05/2013 22:48

Oh yeah! Someone is in deep doo doo!

I think this last episode really cried out to be a two parter. In the olden days there would be stories that lasted even more than two parts. They really need to alter the story length a bit, to make it more interesting.

Watch showed 'Blink' again today-still brilliant, still scary, Moffat at his best.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 16/05/2013 08:57

it has to be the pressure (possibly self-inflicted) to create a blockbuster per week that has sent them all nuts. but i'm sure moffat gave himself the space before, wasn't his 'i'm not your daddy' script a two parter? (never remember the names, sorry).

what's prompted the hatred of the two-parter? delayed gratification all the sweeter and all that...

RustyBear · 16/05/2013 20:20

Do you mean 'Are you my mummy?? Grin

They were The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances. The Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead was Moffat too.

Maybe they think that now the seasons are pretty much cut in half, two-partners would take up too much of a half-season...

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 17/05/2013 08:45

hahahaahahah i'm not your daddy was kid creole and the coconuts!

marjproops · 17/05/2013 19:19

LOL aitch. at kid creole! can imagine the doctor singing that! but to who?????

teejwood · 17/05/2013 20:59

I'm stupidly excited about the finale. My fervent hope is that it will make sense of the last few series, but barring that just a bloody brilliant ep will suffice.

teejwood · 17/05/2013 21:00

Roar at kid creole. I still remember that TOTP appearance

teejwood · 17/05/2013 21:02

marj i think he would sing it to to Clara because there's no way he's her daddy - but she might yet turn out to be something to do with River!

marjproops · 17/05/2013 21:21

im just longing for him to say his names nigel or Steve or something!

teejwood · 17/05/2013 21:57

I don't think we'll see or hear the name. Or if we do, it'll be Gallifreyian gobbledegook. Actually, in the Tardis episode there were rows of what looked like perfume that were actually the Gallifreyian Encyclopaedia - maybe his name will be a scent or a liquid rather than a word?!

Snapespeare · 18/05/2013 08:50

dont let me down stephen moffat!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 18/05/2013 11:45

They can't tell us his name. That would be wrong!

Dh reckons it is John Smith.

Snapespeare · 18/05/2013 11:54

Oh there's absolutely NO WAY we'll find out what his name is.

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 18/05/2013 12:25

They are definitely building it up..so it had better be good

Idontknowhowtohelpher · 18/05/2013 13:19

I love Strax Grin www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0195m8j

RustyBear · 18/05/2013 13:51

According to the DT website, it's building up to a cliffhanger or the anniversary episode a which means 6 months more to wait....

marjproops · 18/05/2013 18:19

I dont want to know his name , keep the mystery.

It would be great if he turned to the camera, gave a deep and meaningful stare, raised an eyebrow, said ''my....name....is....''

and suddenly the duff-duff-duff-duff eastenders drum thing comes on Grin

OR- ''my name is, my name is, my name is, Charles the 2nd!''

GlaikitFizzog · 18/05/2013 18:39

20 minutes! Chances of ds being in bed by then??? Not high anyway!

marjproops · 18/05/2013 18:57

Are we all ready????

see you afterwards!
