Doctor Who 2008 Christmas Special: Spoiler/Speculation Thread. (No hide tags, beware.)

[Jenpot]

Our Freeview doesn't even work, Sky + is alittle beyond us.

BBC iPlayer is your friend.

[Westy]

Aye I doubt i'll be able to catch this. They don't believe in watching the tv in Uddingston on Christmas day. Sky+ it I think. I'll be too busy with Christmas dinner and all the booze though. Pub on Christmas day from 2pm.

Watch it on Boxing Day. It looks good but.

[endless psych]

According to the Dr. Who website it is 6pm on Christmas Day. Looks like I might miss it

DOCTOR! DOCTOR!

DOCTOR! DOCTOR!

You need to give us more of the joke than just the first line.

[Headwork]

RTD has said that it's not a fake Doctor - though he's known to be a lying bastard...

Other things I've read include that the fobwatch is a factor and that Morriseys TARDIS is an air balloon. I'd been stuck on the fake One Doctor idea but maybe they've put a nuWho canon twist in it...

[The Proffesor]

Ok who would you rather have as the doctor. For me me i think Stuart Townsend would be a better doctor then the other david.

[Rev Scapegoat]

Hm.
I quite liked the "Fake Doctor" plot strand, but the Cybermen themselves were just silly - Especially the Cyberking.
Looked OK, but... If a small band of stranded Cybermen could build that in the past with little available tech - Why didn't they do it present day, and why have we never seen one before?

[Quiz Bhoy]

Utter, utter pish!

Well, the doc knew straight away what it was, so I guess they have been built before. Also, my guess is that they haven't felt the need before, as they've always had a vast army of Cybermen. this time, if it's a small group, they may have needed more weaponry, rather than just relying on the steamroller approach.

[Kenny Everett]

I fell asleep after ten mins.

Could have been because I thought it was crap, or because I'd just stuffed myself full of cake

[Bunnylingus]

Ok, but not as much fun as I'd hoped. Kinda dragged.

CUTEST child ever though.

[Jenpot]

Aw, i enjoyed it. Pure cheesefest. The Jack may have helped me along.

[endless psych]

I thought the cyber shades and the cyber king were a nice little addition to the cybermen mythos. Although I would have like a cybermat or two.

[Rev Scapegoat]

The Cybershades could have been great - but IMHo they were shite in the end.
If they went down the biomech route that seems so obvious for Cybermen, it could have been damn scary.

I got Kat a stuffed Adipose for Xmas, though. So all is well
His name is Bailey, apparently.
He told her.

[PapaZeb]

In the flashback scenes the kid was awright, in the factory scenes the kid was pure covered in eye makeup...caked on like a bad cartoon makeup applicator doohickey.
