Lol, no it seems it's a fairly major technical fault. The BBc could ask them to remove certian images but they don';t have the power to close down a whole website!

Besides which it's an exercise in utter futility, the images are out there in hundreds of computer hard drives....plus outside of a few forums, the masses remain utterly oblivious to the images as the embargo remains firmly in place in the media.

I really need my daily fix of spoilers.”

It's terrible, I actually let out a gasp of horror when I realised it wasn't working! I had to make myself go out for the day to stop myself refreshing the page...

Come back GB, I need you to livvvveeeeeee!

Also, to my mind, it was not really a question but an observation posing as a question - wrong time, wrong place for that.”

While I am sorry that you thought it went on for too long, may I say that firstly it needed saying publicly because a lot of people have been worried about the overnights without taking into account the mindblowing final figures, and the fact that I got a direct reply off Jay Hunt made it a wonderful experience and well worth doing.

I appreciate you telling the truth, that Moffat did NOT bury his head in his hands - that was a total lie.

Unfortunately the question was padded out by quoting the actual viewing figures for various episodes by each particular viewing option..........”

The actual question was given the lower overnights but much higher timeshifts and record breaking views on iPlayer, how did the BBC high-ups like Jay Hunt feel about the change in figures.

Steven Moffat said why not ask her yourself, and Jay Hunt reassured us all.

It was brilliant and I do not regret asking, not for one second.

Not met you myself Ian but there does seem to be some people around envious of your history with Doctor Who and fandom. The most fierce criticism will likely come from those who suffer pure jealousy , as it is with many aspects of life I'm sorry to say.
Hope yourself and the rest of the audience enjoyed the event and could you tell us what you thought of the episode?”

It's easily the best Doctor Who story since The Dalek Master Plan in 1965.

Really ???
Duller than the other questions, like asking Matt Smith what it's like to play The Doctor, or asking Karen why she's the sexiest companion in Doctor Who ???

Mine was the only interesting question asked, other than asking Arthur Darvill what it's like to play someone dead.

If it's any consolation, those questions all sound excruciating as well. I just don't think for a second your question needed asking at all, I'm unsure of the importance of it.

I asked an important question about ratings, timeshifts, and iPlayer, got a great answer off Jay Hunt herself, and yet the trolls on Gallifrey Base lied through their teeth, said I made a fool of myself, and said Steven Moffat buried his face in his hands, which was a total lie.

Why do they behave like this ??? What can they hope to achieve by telling such bare faced lies ???”

Thank you for telling me that; it is much appreciated.

I also apologise for posting about it here.

the forum was down this morning but was back up when i left, maybe there is trouble due to heavier traffic this week?”

I'd assume GB is going to have to go patrons only during busy times eventually, due to not being able to cope with volume of visitors otherwise.

1. Steven Moffat’s on top form with a brilliantly crafted episode – the perfect start to a two-parter.
2. The Doctor and Amy visit the oldest planet in the universe, where the first words in history have a familiar ring to them.
3. The stakes are every bit as high as in an RTD season finale.
4. Characters from earlier in the series make surprise appearances before the opening titles – and we’re not just talking about the series recap.
5. There’s something funny going on at Stonehenge.
6. If you thought “The Lodger” looked like a money-saving episode, you soon realise where all that spare cash went.
7. There’s a scene in a bar rather reminiscent of the Star Wars cantina.
8. There’s an armada of alien spacecraft.
9. The Doctor gets to deliver one of his “Get out of here!” speeches.
10. There’s a brilliant scare involving a human skull.
11. You could market an entire range of action figures on the back of this episode alone.
12. Amy’s engagement ring is crucial.
13. It’ll make you want to go back and watch the whole series again.
14. Someone other than the Doctor pilots the TARDIS.
15. The Doctor and Amy face a foe reminiscent of fembots.
16. There’s a fantastic nod to The Thing.
17. The Pandorica does indeed open.
18. It also closes.
19. The episode ends in a cliffhanger so devilish that it seems utterly inescapable. It’s going to be a very, very long week.
20. 26 June 2010 is a very important date indeed – and not just because it’s the day of the series finale.

Oh dear... looks like the series finale is going to be yet another one of those ones where the Doctor saves the whole of creation, everything that has been, is, and ever will be, while his companion turns out, purely by chance, to be the most important person in the universe. Ho hum.

River and I think she learns from Pond.

Don't be silly.

It's Nottingham City Council's Armed Forces weekend.

Or maybe The Nursery Show at Bournemouth International Centyre will bring about the end of the world.

No wait, Pink has a concert...I never trusted her, she's the Rani!!

upon second glancing, the production stamp marks this as Ep. 11...where she does 'Pilot' the TARDIS to some extent
