It's either hideous... or perfectly in keeping with the nature of the story!

I wonder how they are going to get around the 'Eenie, Meany Miney Moe' rhyme

All proceeds go to Children in Need.

Wonder if it's similar to the Underpant Gnomes song fron 'South Park'!

A WORD OF WARNING

RTD has posted a short video on X warning people about spoilers today.

Hes basically saying that he urges people to watch it live as one minute after the show has aired the BBC themselves will be releasing all manner of videos etc and theres a LOT to be spoiled.

The five Doctor's, 50th anniversary style - Tom Baker (4), Peter Davison (5), Colin Baker (6), Sylvester McCoy (7) and Matt Smith (11).

Taken at the three day 50th anniversary celebration at London's ExCel in November 2013.

Really enjoyed The Giggle.

Neil Patrick Harris was excellent as the Toymaker and i loved how Davies brought Mel back with just a single line of plausible dialogue.

I have no problem whatsoever with the finale. Perfectly happy with it.
