My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S

Dr Who Christmas Special

Have to say I liked the Christmas special today. And was also impressed with the interactive "be the companion" game than ran behind the red button after the transmission. I had a look at the 12441V BBC transmissions on a fta box afterwards, and the game was done on 2 streams - 1 with the "you have done it correctly" commentary, the other with the "you f$ck&d it up" commentary.

Very clever.

I missed the show, entertaining new neighbours, but I heard it was good (from my sister who is a Whonut).

Its repeated on New Years Day on BBC3 after a rerun of the last series this week, if anyone else whats to find out how good the story has progressed after the implausibility of a ninth regeneration .

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

I thought it was rigged after getting lots of plaudits, so I played again and switched my last answer to see what happened. It was only then that I realised that I'm a Dr Who Interactive-game God

OK... so actually my kids are...

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100

Liked the Christmas special but felt that it was all a bit too rushed to make it fit in an hour. Personally I would have liked it split over two 45 minute episodes with a bit more character and plot development.
