Doctor Who

slippery as an eel that Eldorion, The Who indeed. I see a firm grip is needed, stop flim flamming about and get watching Dr. Who or you will be singing soprano at your Christmas party.

I haven't! I'll look for it though!

And if we're talking about THE Who, my favorite song is Won't get fooled again.

You Whovians sure are the violent sort! Or maybe it's just Scots and Scot-lovers.

That's definitely a great song, though my personal favorites are probably Love, Reign O'er Me and Eminence Front. They have so much great music that it's hard to pick anything, though! Definitely one of the best rock groups of the '60s and '70s.

These deflection tactics will not spare you the wedgie Eldo! Trust in the good tatse of Forumshire! Or else.....

A xmas special show on xmas eve for those in the US.

Will Wheaton and friends tell Eldo why he should be watching Doctor Who! (More or less)

Bringing you the best of Who on the web so you don't have to wade through all the crap stuff!

A classic scene from the Empty Child with Eccelstons Doctor- guaranteeed to send the kids screaming behind the couch where they belong.



The best bad guy in TV history- The Master- evil genius, more psychotic than a barrel full of Jokers and a lot more stylish.



A nice 11th Doctor tribute vid



And something suitably xmassy to finish on.

Don't think I've forgotten to harass you Eldo- or about that wedgeie!- in fact this me harassing you right now- hah-and any newcomers from Bree- if you don't know what Doctor Who is- well whats wrong with you? American? sorry I can't cure that but I can cure you of Who deficiency.

The trailer for the Doctor Who free to play browser MMO- looks as bad as I expected, filled with shoehorned puzzle games but if your 10 it might be exciting. It would take an incredibly innovative game developer to turn Who into a viable game concept, especially as the BBC won't let him kill anything, beating your enemies wih wit and panache is great tv but not so great gaming unless its done spectacularly well.

At this point, Petty, I'm going to have to delay even possibly starting watching more Who even longer just to annoy you, since your attempts at badgering me are so amusing.

We will wear you down eventually, chinese water torture, drip drip drip until you crack, and then we will whisper in your ear, WwwweeeeeeTOLDYOUSsssoooooooooooooo! and then you will bow your head in defeat, and utter the immortal words, BUGGER BOGNER YOU WERE RIGHT! and from the distance a long and contented sigh will be heard rolling down from a misty Scottish hillside echoing throughout the land, TTThankyouooooooooooooooooo! it will whisper and you will know that you have lifted a heavy burden of responsibility from the Great Guardian of the Who, And It Will Be Good.

Well said indeed Mrs Figg ansd such a sigh it shall be not heard since that time Beren was released after he got his whatsit caught in his zip.

Eldo you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. We are trying to help you here by guiding you towards the fabulous TV that is Who.

A fun filled festive Who with a tear in the eye ending. Just what the Doctor ordered for xmas evening TV!

Dr who round up.

Good stuff Chris- now the long wait begins- be Autumn before new episodes appear!

Ratings for the xmas episode.

Downton Abbey - 11.60m (34.4%)
EastEnders - 11.33m (32.4%)
Doctor Who - 10.77m (37.3%)
Coronation Street - 10.51m (34.2%)
Absolutely Fabulous - 9.07m (28.5%)

So 3rd place. And as Eastenders is a soap and should therefore be condemend to a nether hell somewhere where it cant leech loads of money away from proper dramas I count this as Who coming second- not bad.

This is for Eldo really as part of my ongoing attempt to persuade him to Who.
Thought I would try a different tact. Give this a go Eldo- you only need watch the opening one to see if it intrigues enough. Go on, give it a go. Some classic Who.

That was pretty good. I enjoyed it. I'm not sure it made me a Who convert, but I may seek out the rest of the Genesis of the Daleks serial some time.
