I'm fully aware just how sad this is, but has anyone else changed plans since finding out The Christmas special was on at 7? I was meant to be going to my friend's for gift swapping e.t.c at 7.30 but I've told them I'll be there for 8 as it clashes with "something I can't get out of" and every one of them said "Doctor who is on isn't it?"

Lol, bless you that's exactly what I'd do. My family are very tolerant of my Who watching and know that it may involve me leaving to be in another room :-)
A few days before, they announced their 11 year old daughter thought Doctor Who was boring and didn't want us to watch it - and so they had agreed with her we wouldn't.
Needless to say, our plans changed and we didn't go.
I am glad it is on at 7 because it gives me the opportunity to get the guests out of my house before it starts. had to watch it on delay last christmas
That made me laugh out old!
Since my mum has been a newly converted Doctor Who fan since Matt Smith took over the role, for once this year I'll be with my folks for Xmas knowing that watching Doctor Who will be no problem, though no doubt I will still have to put up with my step dad grumbling about it!
For the past few years Christmas day has been the only day I get to watch it live, when the kids go to their dads is dependent on whether they want to watch it here or there (it's been referred to in the past as Dr Who day by the youngest!)
That is so funny.
I may be able to watch it live this year - last year it was down to i-player. Fingers crossed.
UrMyStar's story reminds me of earlier this year when I was without a computer and due to go on holiday when DW was on.
I was going on to my son about how I needed a computer soon, for various reasons, and he said "It's so you can watch Doctor Who on iplayer as soon as you get back from holiday, isn't it?"
Which was absolutely true, and just shows how well he knows me.:)
LOL - Can't you just stick it on your sky planner. for record//
I'd be in the house for the first 20 mins of it and to be in the house, knowing it was on and not watching it :eek:
I have no idea why, but I thought it as a 6/6.30 start so agreed to meet at 7.30 as they only live a couple of minutes away. It was a spur of the moment "is 7.30 good for everyone" everyone was going "I think dinner will be done by about then so that's fine" "yeah I'll see my Dad in the afternoon" and I was thinking to myself "They live two minutes away, if doctor who's on at 6.30 I could be there for 7.30" and just nodded my head
I would have moved the time for my party - or told everyone to come early and be quiet. lol.
I'm over here in the states so no big deal on time or anything. I got back here in 2009 and HATED not being able to watch on Christmas day. last year they fixed that and my family - who I have thankfully turned into fans, makes it easier on them lol - know to work around it. we normally celebrate my dad's birthday after dinner and the know it must be done by show time
are you going to wear a christmas hat while watching it, I am gonna wear my santa hat or one of those hats out of a xmas cracker if it stays on, they tend to fall off when I laugh at xmas cracker jokes:D
The other day I went to the robot thing(Robotville) at the Science Museum and the person I was with, told one of the robots, a knock knock joke about Doctor Who and the robot said "hmm":D you had to be there, very funny:D It was really good, ends tomorrow, I shook another robots hand.
My plans were already built around Doctor Who in the first place!
