FreeThinker Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'm so jealous!!!! At this very moment, as I write this post, it's 2:45 in the afternoon in the middle of America, but it's 8:45 in the UK and Dr. Who is kissing Queen Elizabeth (according to the live blog on The Guardian site) and I can't watch it! BAH. The BBC is showing the 50th Anniversary episode and I am sure all good British Awesome Dudes are glued to the telly. I am reduced to reading the live blog on The Guardian and reading the snarky comments of their readers. I want to watch it!!!!!!!!!! I love Matt Smith and David Tennant, but my favorite was Tom Baker. Unfortunately, those are the only three Time Lords I've seen-- oh I did see one episode decades ago with the guy who played Tristan on All Things Great and Small. I expect a complete report from across the pond on EVERYTHING that happened! God Save the Queen. Link to comment
Camy Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 I watched 'The Day Of The Doctor', and it was worthy (especially John Hurt). It was shown in 94 countries which got it a Guinness World Record as 'the world's largest ever simulcast of a TV drama.' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25076912 Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Darn it. I don't have BBC America on my cable subscription. I have only the basic plus package. One of these years, I'm going to have to break out the crowbar and open my wallet for the better package. As it is, I can watch British shows on PBS, but they're usually delayed a few months or years. We don't get Downton Abbey until January. Link to comment
Gee Whillickers Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 As a lad it was all about Tom Baker for me, but I've learned to appreciate the other Doctors as well. I haven't watched this yet, but it's on my list. Link to comment
