So 13 episodes is overwork now?
Bill Hartnell's first season 44 episodes.
Pat Troughton's first season 35 episodes.
Jon Pertwee's first season 25 episodes.
Somewhere up in heaven they're looking down and thinking Matt Smith is a pussy.

I'm not sure about Pertwee but if you read on the BBC guide about various stories you'll see mention of how a character was barely seen in an episode because the actor was on holiday that the time it was filmed.
and to a point a raised earlier while the extra lengh adds to the production cost it's actually cheaper than a complete new story. You don't need a second lot of pre-production, no new set construction, no extra actors to pay for etc etc
I think Teddy Roosevelt IS the Doctor. I mean, who else would get shot in the heart in the middle of a speech and not bother to stop talking?
You've got me all wrong. I was even enthusiastic about The End of Time before it aired. I'm an optimist deep down. It's only after seeing things that I get all jaded and scathing.

Wait, what? What the hell?
Complaining about the run time of a future episode, are you kidding me wamdue?
I've read some petty bullshit on this forum, but "this episode I haven't seen is far too long" takes the cake.

im not complaining, just wondering how many episodes this series are going to not be 45 minutes long, as ive come to expect Doctor Who to be, expect for finales & Christmas specails.
Why does it matter? Busy saturday night schedule?
Ditto. Parts 3 and 4 of "The Celestial Toymaker". Hartnell went on vacation so they wrote him invisible! The few lines he had were pre-recorded, otherwise it was just Michael Gough talking crap at thin air while game pieces moved on their own thanks to wires or choppy stop-motion animation. Part 4 is on the "Lost In Time" DVDs.
And Frazer Hines went on vacation so they changed his face during a botched puzzle game on "The Mind Robber" and a different actor played him. Troughton put the wrong pieces on the face. Clever.
And Nyssa getting sick and staying in bed for "Kinda", only appearing at the beginning and end.
dude welcome to the internet, where people moan about the tiniest thing, even when we dont really see it as a problem.
I was just picturing someone at the BBC being given the tapes for the first 3 episodes, and seeing 2 of them being over 1 hour in length, saying to Moffatt "you know we only paid you for a 45 minute show right?"
That is rather brilliant.
You know what? I think the BBC may have known and agreed to it being that long in the first place. Being as they make the show and all.

I think it's pretty retarded to assume that Moff turned in a 65-minute script and expected the BBC to roll with it, rather than the more logical supposition that the BBC knew about, and agreed to, the additional running time.
I think it's even more retarded to moan about it on the internet. Especially when the thing you're moaning about is MORE WHO ON TELEVISION.
Yeah but Churchill could beat Roosevelt in his sleep so they chose the better opponent.
Be glad Smith doesn't look like Skeletor's long lost son like in some of his other productions.
