I don't know why, but I'm hoping for something great rom this episode. I hope there is a it of comedy in it too...as it does look so serious from the start....the comedy could even be unintentianlly on purpose if you understand what I mean...people running around madly etc...but I do think it may need the comdey ascpect just to lighten it up a bit.

Either way, this is the one I've been most excited about since I saw the trailer for AOL.

I was really looking forward to AOL after seeing the trailer, and how disapointed was I.

Im looking forward to this, but beware the trailers can be misleading

I quite liked AOL but felt that WW3 was a poor second part

Anyone know ?

You won't be disappointed with this one - Paul Cornell is an excellent Who writer, and the Radio Times (and other magazines) have raved about it.

I thought both episodes were the worst so far

The poll needs to be requested I think, not sure how it works.

Good. I try not to read or see to much about an upcoming episode, as I think sometimes too much is given away.

Same here...all I know beofre episodes is what we are told about them in the trailer the week before and the odd bit of info that slips past me on forums or the theoreies I hear as specualation. But as a whole I do try not to find out much. And it is certainly leading to more enjoyment with me (I'm doing the smae with Desperate Housewives...there is so much stuff out there about the series, but I try to to read it and it is certaily mroe enjoyable not knowing what is coming )

I think this series has been excellent about not leaking plotlines or spoilers - excepting an early edit of the first episode, of course.

I have requested a poll and it will be added later (usually when the episode has aired I think.)

I have to agree... but just think how spectacularly jaw-dropping the final moments of this series would have been had we not known in advance about the impending regeneration!

Who's the mystery actress in Boom Town?

Who's the mystery character from the same episode?

What's the significance of Bad Wolf?

Are the Daleks really back in the 2 part finale, and if so, have they REALLY been completely redesigned?

There are so many questions that require answering, and it all adds to the excitement and anticipation of 7pm on a Saturday evening!

Can't wait.

Everyone look out for anything to do with the phrase 'Bad Wolf'.

Just a note to say I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it was so if there's no poll here by about 8pm please can you hit the 'alert' button on this post please? If several people do it them my attention will very quickly be drawn to it.

Bx.

The button's just down there ...

I'm afraid I don't accept PMs, the best way to contact me is through the 'feedback' link at the top of the page.

The reason I don't accept PMs is because I'm not the only moderator and I prefer for the other moderators to be able to see exactly what's going on so we can act as a team. I also like to take the occasional day off and hate the thought of problems not being noted because I'm not about.

Bx.

I am also v excited about tonight's. Camille Coduri is glorious as Jackie Tyler, and the chance to see her "twenty years younger" is a good one.

I am sure that next time I log on, tomorrow lunchtime, this thread will have become sixty pages in length, and will be dominated with stuff about Bad Wolf, Gallifrey, the laws of time, etc, so I won't be able to post anything again til next week's episode!

I agree that the trailer for Aliens of London was the most exciting thing ever, but AOL and WW3 were the weakest episodes yet. (ie: I voted them "very good" rather than "excellent!)

My DVD of eps 1-3 arrived from Play this morning, Isn't it amazing how we have taken this new series for granted so quickly? We're over half way gone already.

I have now added a proper Doctor Who section to my site which you can see the trailer and stuff by clicking here
You can also download the Blue Peter behind the scenes of the 'Dalek' episode. I'm slowly building up the material on there.

Her dad seems to get run over by a Vauxhall Chevette, but the creatures look interesting. I like how the Doctor refers to humans as 'Stupid Apes'

They were going to have humanoids in dark cloaks like The Grim Reaper but I think the Reapers look better. Notice how the tail is like a scythe?

Does Mr Porter fancy himself as the next Time Lord then?

Im looking forward to tonights episode as well, something about the story line that grabs me. I guess its because it addresses the question of "why doesn't the Dr simply go back in time and stop XXXXXX from happening" which I used to ask by dad all the time (when I was a kid!)

I have enjoyed the entire series so far, and have rated every episode as excellent (apart from WW3 which got very good). This episode looks great.

This is a list of the episodes in order of how much I enjoyed them:

1. Dalek (ep6)
2. Rose (ep1)
3. The Unquiet Dead (ep3)
4. Aliens of London (ep4)
5. The Long Game (ep7)
6. The End of the World (ep2)
7. World War Three (ep5)

Maybe others could do a list like this.

Only 20 mins to go.
