No first episode reviews from Belfast?

[23skidoo]

As I understand the reports, a three-day promotional tour for the new season kicked off in Belfast yesterday. The reports said the tour is supposed to include special screenings of the first episode in several cities. Does anyone know if this actually happened? You'd think we'd be starting to see the first fan reviews if that were the case. Has anyone seen anything? Not counting the press screening, and assuming the initial stories were correct, that should have made Belfast the first place to see a public showing of it.

The campaign blitz moves on from Belfast

I’ll not spoil Saturday night’s episode for you with any new plot points. The previous programme finished with the Doctor still recovering from the regeneration process and the TARDIS spinning out of control. And that’s where The Eleventh Hour begins.

Well there we are then

The promo was on last night's BBC Northern Ireland news. The audience was all primary school kids (ie 11 and under) as far as I can see. They all seemed to like it but I wouldn't be holding my breath for any detailed analysis of the episode!

11 year old- It was in a word.......trite. The acting is not shakespeare quality but more Planet of the Spiders.

^ One word reviews like 'Class!' (which in Norn Iron speak means brilliant) seemed to be prevalent!

 

[Australis]

More likely, "Wicked!"

 

[Captaindemotion]

^ Nope, not in NI. And I should have added that 'Class' is generally pronounced 'Claaah.'

The state media trying to indoctrinate the wee ones, eh? j/k I'd be as happy as the kids if that bus rolled up where I was at.

I don't think we have anything like that in the US with a solid adult and child fanbase. Is that how it is in the UK, do adults and kids both watch equally without any attached stigma?

This looks more fun than the Eccleston tour.

I want one of those new Sonic Screwdrivers worse than I want oxygen.

you know the ratings for Eleventh Hour had better justify what looks like alot of money being spent on this promotional tour.

Would it be immature of me to ask if the bus is bigger on the inside?

Wow. That's drab as hell. I could only imagine how the Tennant tour(if there was one) would go.
