    Damn, I wish I had known this was on. I guess I'll have to wait to watch it with An Adventure in Space and Time after I return home from London tomorrow.

    Who was it supposed to be the car in the scene with John Barrowman and the lift to Cardiff?

    I think it was supposed to be a normal heterosexual family of Barrowman... Everybody has a dark secret, you know? ;)


    So, does that mean the classic doctors were ACTUALLY in the special? :guffaw:

    ^By the looks of it. Assuming they weren't having a lend of us, but I think yes it really was them under the sheets :)

    Very, very funny. Having Peter Jackson and Sir Ian appear made it even better. Not to mention Georgia Moffat/Tennant.

    well with some of the jokes and in-jokes they had, one can never be too careful (especially when you look at the cast list at the end :)

    And 6's family trying to escape watching another video was great. Great stuff, indeed. RTD at the end was hilarious.

    I had no idea Peter Davison us such a great comedic writer. There were so many funny lines and situations in it you could quote or retell nearly all of it.

    Great stuff. I guess this means they were all in the special in some capacity. Kudos to the families of the actors participating too.

    Is it just me or would this have been perfect for Eccleston to participate in? Ah well....

    Yeah but I can still see him in it. Getting annoyed at all the calls, the other actors pestering him....it would've been great.

    Yes, Eccleston could have been in it without meeting any member of the Doctor Who crew that he didn't want to meet, and without reprising his role as the ninth Doctor. I guess it means that there are some additional reasons that keep him away from Doctor Who, then.
