![]() I don't dislike the story as much as a lot of fans, indeed I can find it perfectly enjoyable in a camp sort of way if am in the mood. But.... That ain't a good photo. At least Sylvester stopped tucking his jumper in after this story! (Saw this news advertised elsewhere with a moody Five, Peri and Sharaz Jek shot, so yeah, think someone's having a giraffe. )

I wonder why there's only 30 stories? Nice to see it back on telly though.

I don't have the Horror Channel but do have the DVDs and relevant software to insert intrusive logos, graphics, voice overs and adverts every 5 minutes to enhance these classic adventures.

Not really a story though was it. More an amusing, incisive and relevant point about the way alot of TV drama is spoilt when re-shown on satellite/cable channels. As opposed to a rude and dismissive forum/comments thread one liner which was dated and unfunny enough five years ago. What next? tl:dr? Dear oh dear.

Come off it Salad, the fact that outweighs these negatives completely is simply the fact that its being shown on tv at all

Intrusive cuts I can't stand either, but I'm hopeful with the Horror showings, because the 22 minute format lends itself brilliantly to an ad-funded channel like Watch

![]() I just find the treatment of episodes by channels like Watch insulting. The terrible editing, arbitrary advert breaks and intrusive banners announcing a forthcoming 'Keeping Up Appearances' marathon don't exactly enhance the viewing experience. But the worst thing is when they just cut scenes out to fit the running time the channel has. Some moron wielding scissors and saying 'well this bit doesn't matter-lets cut it' is terrible and highly disrespectful. Either show the episode properly or leave it to a channel that can. If you had to pay to borrow a book from a library you wouldn't tolerate them tearing a couple of chapters out to ensure the book fits on the shelf. |

Don't a lot of the early stories have a deliberate fade to black halfway through each episode so

This should please all of those people who for some strange reason will only watch a TV programme when it's shown on TV... relics, I think they're called

I might well watch the Horror TV reruns, even though I have the whole lot on DVD. It felt like an event, to watch An Unearthly Child on BBC4 recently, and I like the idea of watching old Who on the telly. It will be interesting to see what happens with ad breaks, idents, coming soon, etc, and I am keen to know what any new viewers might make of it.

I personally have access to netflix, but would happily sit and watch an episode on the horror channel, despite breaks /logo's etc. There's something that gives a more atmospheric, authentic feel about watching something on tv. Anyone who is 20+ should be used to breaks/logo's as it wasn't all that long ago that tv was the only option. Just personal preference I suppose. |

For those who don't have access to streaming or the money/inclination to buy an episode without first seeing then it's great to have them on tv at all. Someone for whom tv was the only way they could watch would probably be overjoyed at this news.

Horror Channel? Don't get that, Sci Fi or Drama yea but Who classed as horror! Shouldn't these channel just call themselves Anything 1, 2, 3 etc, every time I look at the listings for Drama channel there seems to be hours of comedy on there.
