And how evil the Doctor was lit up when he was destroying the Raknos babies. Donna was right to be scared of him!
And the trailers for next season at the end of the special, how awesom were they?!?! Especially the final image, which lingered on screen for a long time.
Anyone turn onto the Sky Interactive and watch the Doctor Who Celebration Concert afterwards? Introduced by David Tennant, featuring a mini Q & A by David, RTD, and Murray Gold. With guest appearances by the OOD, Cybermen, a Dalek, and a whole load of O pos humans! Also had Noel Clarke in the audience as well as the Doctor`s New assistant for next year. And of course not forgetting the very impressive National Orchestra of Wales.

Doctor: You`re an echo. That`s all. A TimeLord is so much more. A sum of knowledge; a code. A shared history. A shared suffering. Only it`s gone now, all of it. Gone forever.

That was brilliant as well.
Especially the Dalek dancing on stage!
Or that child who was terrified of the OOD.
Or that boy who "shot" the passing cyberman with a plastic pistol.
All in all an enjoyable 90 mins.
I notice that you can`t access it today......... good job I had the forsight to copy it onto video last night!

that was only good part but story-line is bad writing or acting i honest don't know-to be it was awful once revealed how she able to transported rest was quite obvious IMO.
I really enjoyed the Christmas Special, and I think David Tennant is strangely attractive in those specs of his! He didn't wear them enough in the episode
Catherine Tate's shouting wore a bit thin in the first part, but apart from that I have no complaints.

The Thames Barrier would make it possible to drain the Thames but not the sea.
Theoretically. (Nobody's ever tried ).
But the Thames Barrier has to be down to prevent water from travelling UP the Thames. The drained Thames showed the barrier open with river bottom visible both sides.
I read somewhere that the Thames Barrier has been used 6 times since it was erected to prevent flood water from hitting the city.
"Experts" are predicting that in 20 years time, the flood barrier isn`t going to be high enough to prevent the city from being flooded after the ice caps melt some more due to "global warming".

But how do you equate that with the experts claim*** that global warming will warm the seas around the UK enough to enable warmer climate fish and plants to establish themselves in UK waters, including the great white sharks?
How can I decide whether to buy extra thermals or more tshirts and shorts if the experts can`t agree?????

Have they stopped eating posts that use trigger words then? and use this form of censorship instead?
I suppose I might have done what you suggested, but I didn`t think so, as I tend to miss letters out rather than add an extra one. But we`ll never know now.

I just couldn't think of any other reason for the asterisks off hand. These language filters are hilarious, though. There's one on another board I post on, which asterisks out insane words. Spoon being one of them. Why?! it also replaces words in the most bizarre fashion, in order to prevent rudeness. Your sentences can suddenly descend into gibberish, even without mistyping and alcohol.
I belong to another online forum that is American and terribly proper, not allowing damn and hell through. But it does allow wa**er and bu**er through! They dont know what they mean to the delight and merriment of all the Brit members of the forum.

Some useless information for people who wish to know these things.
The final ever episode of The Vicar of Dibley, showing on new year`s day at 21:30 on BBC1, has the Vicar getting married. It features a Time Lord themed wedding. Guest appearance by two Daleks.
Even the old fossil of radio, The Archers, mentions the christmas day showing of the Doctor Who Special. Which for anyone remotely interested, is repeated, omnibus style on new years eve on BBC radio 4 from 10pm.
News curtesy of OG.

I remember being on a live chat site once that changed any 'bad' words to "blah". Unfortunately it was rather over-programmed, and those of us making a first-time visit were totally bewildered by our first entry, "Hello," being changed to "Blaho". I know it confused the blah out of me!
