Excellent news that the Christmas Special will run long, to make the wait all the more worthwhile. Mind, I’m astonished how quickly Christmas seems to be heading in this direction – likely to collide with my narrowing chances of going shopping like a passenger liner hitting a transdimenional spacio-temporal transportation device.
Kylie continues to look striking and rather fetching in her costume -so, I certainly intend to be there at 6.50pm on the 25th with recorder remote in hand. Unlike the Children in Need special, I will take precautions to remind myself to turn the TV on at the right time – even if it means posting notes all around the house.
Currently, the weird gold angel figures in some of the promotional materials look rather like Axons (who many fans thought might make a return with The Master in the last season, given their name is an anagram of Saxon!).
I’m rubbing my hands in a state of anticipational glee.
Having spent a week or more waiting for this damned thing, I managed to unceremoniously miss it completely – and then sat grumbling to myself about how frankly stupid I must be. Still, the Internet lives up to expectations, so not only can you access it on the official BBC site, you can also find it scattered around in other places too…
I’m getting all excited about this evening now… so much so that I’m writing this entry when I really don’t have much to say. All these pictures of Peter and David simply make the whole wait nearly too much to handle… but, I’m sure I’ll struggle through somehow and will have the recorder ready to save this 7-minute special for posterity.
I sincerely hope that the man who put the wow-factor into ‘Blink’ will deliver an entertaining, engaging and exciting micro-sode… I know that anything would be better than ‘Dimensions in Time’ (or whatever the last ‘Children in Need’ episode was called), but I’m hankering after a story that will raise it above simply just being better.
When, as a Doctor Who fan, you read articles like this, you can only sit and weep a silent tear of joy, knowing that you have got a step closer to some unrecorded list of ‘Perfect Moments to See Before You Next Regenerate’. Worth it for the desktop wallpaper alone!
