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.

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...

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? | |

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. | |

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  | |

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. | |

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. | |
