NEW SERIES OF .....................DOCTOR WHO............

[RTKangaMummy]

NOW

BBC1

Hope no one sleeps on a water bed.

Pissed off about that - we managed about 10 minutes before i insisted it went off, as it was disturbing and horrid and ds2 was still awake...might have let ds1 continue but no way did I want those kind of images sticking in ds2's little mind.

as I like DT but couldn't let them see that.

ds1 v disappointed. He's waited so long.

dd2 (7) held my hand from about 10 minutes in. She wanted to see the end because she assumed it would all come right.................

I guess it depends on their age really

My DS is 14 so had already read about it in Radio Times so he knew what was coming

How old are your DC ?

DS said he wanted to watch it - the 10 mins in we turned over. will be watching it on sky + after x factor.

6 and 2 here. ds1 always wants to see a resolution to things even if they are horrible, but he was placated with promise of buzz lightyear game on pc...thankfully.

I thought that it was very bleak - but very clever. dd2 wants to watch it again tomorrow after school - but only if I will watch it with her. (That's no hardship ) I liked the links back to previous episodes - and the trailers for Christmas look brilliant!

Well bloody FIL rang in the middle of it to talk about bloody SIL's wedding - which isn't until July FGS. I said to DH "tell him to ring back at 8pm" but he didn't! So will have to watch it again tomorrow

Ds 1 and 2 (newly 9 and nearly 7) didn't think it was scary enough!

Not sure they got some of the subtler elements but I thought it was fab .

It will be watched a hundred times between now and Christmas knowing them ...

we all loved it here

I loved it too. Lots of and moments and nicely scary aliens. Can't wait til the Xmas one.

DS watched the first ten minutes, then hid behind the sofa until the last fifteen. That seemed to work well . I'm letting him stay up and watch Doctor Who Confidential and see how the makeup and special effects were done in order to stave off bad dreams.

I liked the Doctor going all power crazed. And then the 'what have I done' end

Aliens were pretty good too but the 'comic book' running around clashed with the rest of it.

Watched it with ds (5). He was very scared but still wanted to watch (through his fingers). We ended up watching a bit of Dr Who Confidential so ds could see the special effects and make up. No longer scared at all fortunately. Fab episode. I think DT is my fav Dr Who ever.

why was there a commentary all the way through? it spoilt what was coming next by telling us before it happened

or is there something a bit wrong with my tv?

A commentary? I don't remember there being one. That sounds odd. Perhaps I'm really unobservant though.
Did you press the red button by accident?

I think your TV must be possessed...

I liked the Bowie Base One

Needed to see the flashes of information again to read properly.

What happened to the Captain at the end, dd2 started asking questions and I missed it?

I recognised the bloke from Neighbours too but couldnt remember his name.

She used her blue light gun on herself

you couldn't have missed it, it was all the way through

not in the 'making of' programme that followed though, bonus to hear a bit of Ziggy Stardust in that - was also v pleased that Bowie was in it!

our red button doesn't work since I tinkered with the freesat box to get horse and country channel so don't think it was that

Or, more prosaically, you accidentally turned on the digital TV audio description for the blind feature.

But obviously that's far less likely than the demonic possession option...

I tried to explain to DH who Peter O'Brien was and he looked at me pityingly.

I didn't get a commentary on mine.....

I think Blink still gets my vote as the scariest episode (dd hasn't dared watch that yet), but this was excellent. Are we going to need to start calling him Master 2?
