"Now that I have you and your companions firmly in my grasp I shall put an end to you and your meddling through time, Doctor, but first I'm going to enjoy the crisp, clean, taste of Buzz Cola in regular and diet, available at fine retailers everywhere! Mmmh! that's refreshing!"

The Doctor: I'm a Time-Lord.
Truman: ... I know you're a Time Lord!
The Doctor: You don't understand Truman. I'm not a human being. I walk in eternity!
(pause)
Truman: Why do you have your back on me? And why are you staring at a blank wall?

About damn time. Less than two months to go. Throw us a friggin bone already!

 

[Starkers]

yes because none of us are going to watch it is they don't trail it

I refuse to watch anything where I haven't been spoiled!

Saw it last night after New Tricks and other than a very brief shot of Jenna Coleman at the beginning, didn't see any other Who related footage in the trailer.

I wonder if they'll show it before or after Atlantis, when it airs? I would have thought it an obvious show to attach it to.

The filming schedule was designed to produce a 60 minute story so they're stretching the footage to get to 75 minutes.

Maybe there will be a 15-minute flashback montage of key moments from the series' history...

Sorry, but I'd rather they didn't over-indulge in flashbacks via archive footage again; we only just had that in The Name of the Doctor. A much better idea would be to let some of the surviving old cast do something new with the current cast.

I wasn't too far off the mark then:

What are "stings"?

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Little tiny ads with nothing but a bit of music and a logo.

Indeed. That fact that they're hyping these shows what a bad state things are in.

I hope no one reminds Ben Stephenson of when he claimed DW's 50th Anniversary coverage would be on a par with what the BBC did for the Olympics...

I got a bad feeling about this anniversary. I thought anniversary year might have felt at least as special as the year it returned from limbo, instead I can't help shake the feeling that the fireworks were stored in the damp cellar all year, but no one wants to tell us.

The REALLY funny bit is here:

"We’ll have them right here on the Official Site so you can watch for weeks after they air!"

How many times can you watch this before the excitement wears off?
