Did anyone watching in the Cinema see the Live Q&A?
In my one they never showed it (I think). We got DW Extra then the lights went up. Everyone sat there for a bit waiting for the Q&A and nothing happened so everyone left. just wondering did it happen / get delayed?

ours didnt start until about 5 or 10 mins into it.
I think ppl got confused as a note came up saying stay in your seats for the DW Extra part but nothing for the Q&A. Plus they put the lights on like at the end of a movie, so it seemed like it was over.
Thankfully a still of the Dr and Clara came on the screen, plus those who had left came back in, presumably staff sent them back in, so we felt it was safe to take a seat and wait without looking like dicks.
Is it possible it was shown at your cinema but you left (understandably) before it started?
We remarked it was quite badly done and putting the lights up wasn't a good idea as we were left wondering what was going on.
Guess i should have stayed but everyone left so assumed it just wasn't happening.
Yeah, that's exactly how it happened at ours. We were thrown too. Luckily - my husband confirms - a member of staff did tell people to go back in.
Bad communication was the issue, nothing on the screen and the lights going up didn't help either.
Well, if it's any consolation I could've lived without the Q&A - the episode was enough for me (fantastic). You'll be able to catch it online anyway.:)
I'm wondering what the turnout was like in everyone's cinemas. I think our auditorium would have been barely 10% full. When we saw DOTD every seat was taken. It was a fantastic atmosphere, people dressed up, even some US style whooping, etc. This time almost empty, no costumes, etc. Just didn't have the sense of 'occasion' about it this time at all. Granted it was a bigger auditorium this time, but still...
I didn't see this one advertised beforehand and only found out about it by sheer chance.
I couldn't see anyone in a costume... Only I wore a bow tie.
Our was like that for the 50th. But this time was just like a normal movie. Wasn't in a city so I guess just less effort was made.
Thanks. Maybe just us then. Yeah, as I said, last time a very big deal - amazing atmosphere. This time muted.
Thank goodness the kids costumes were very last minute affairs so not very elaborate as they would have stood out like sore thumbs. Daughter dressed as Clara. Son wanted to dress as Matt Smith Dr but, perhaps unsurprisingly, a bow tie and blazer for a 6 year is hard to come by last minute. He had to settle for a T-shirt with an astronaut on it. Best we could do.
I would have loved to dress up myself. Already have a tweed jacket and I know I would rock a fez. :cool:
1. Capaldi would quite like the 'sing song' Cybermen from the 10th Planet back.
2. Capaldi was friends with Barry Letts
3. The Tramp was played by Brian Miller, Lis Sladen's husband.
4. Having screaming fans waiting for you at airports is a bit odd.
5. Everything is wonderful.
6. Erm, that's it.
nope, nothing like that.
A few people dressed up which was cool; saw a couple in Ninth Doctor leathers, a kid dressed as the Eleventh, a group of people who went as the Third Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Twelfth Doctor and Clara... ...as well as a girl dressed as Romana in City of Death... random but awesome
Doctor Who Actors have a secret club
Steven Moffat can be funny
Its ok to joke about THAT One Direction incident
Peter Capaldi has a great sense of humour
Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat CAN have a good argument with each other
Jenna has great legs
Zoe Ball says to Moffat "You should keep her" in reference to Jenna
Peter Capaldi is immense!
The Q&A eventually came on. Bit cruel though, as the behind the scenes footage carried a "stay in your seats message." The latter did not.
They did a nice thing to make it something of an event for kids in that there was a fully functioning Dalek zooming around the foyer, lighting up and speaking in proper dalek mechanized voice. Great stuff!
Oh and there were no problems whatsoever with the Q & A at ours, it ran on time..(did go over..but nobody was complaining at that!) and Peter, Jenna & Steven were all excellent. Jenna looked damned fine too..
