If you don't want to see any spoilers don't look at the main DS:Television page - the top story is about the show tonight. Actually the main page itself isn't too bad, there's only one small pic from the show, but the article itself is lots of pics, several of them new, including a couple of
Spoiler
the kiss
and a close up of
Spoiler
the Emperor Dalek


Those of you who love spoilers like me should definitely look as the pics are excellent, but those strange people out there who don't like them should avoid it like the plague

Could we please avoid posting spoilers in this thread? I don't know what's coming and want to keep it that way.

Oh my god. 7 hours to go. 7 hours to go. Lump in my throat, eyes welling up already just at the thought of it.

Excuse me - the ONLY reason I posted this here was to warn you guys NOT TO LOOK at the Main DS page

It's the last time I do any of you lot a favour.

Then why post spoilers here too? Just because you know what's coming doesn't mean we have to. (Any chance you could remove them from your post above, as a nice gesture?)

They were in spoiler tags and the WHOLE POINT of spoiler tags is so that you DON'T HAVE TO LOOK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

Sorry but this has really pissed me off.

Sorry to flame you, but you're being really selfish. Please put your spoilers elsewhere.

Why is is being selfish to post things that you can't read unless you purposefully highlight them.

I posted this to alert people who didn't want to read spoilers to avoid a certain page on DS and the fact that someone is calling me selfish for doing this is just so ridiculous I can't find words.

Yes I put a couple of spoilers in there, but they were in SPOILER TAGS and if you don't highlight spoiler tags you can't read what they say - THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF SPOILER TAGS.

If I was being selfish I wouldn't have used spoiler tags at all.

Dude, it's not as if Eileen didn't use spoiler tags. You don't have to read a spoiler just because someone has posted one - it's not much of an effort to stop yourself highlighting a bit of text. She's perfectly entitled to post marked spoilers on here if she wishes to do so; this is a discussion thread, after all.

agreed!!. You do not have to look at the spoilers, as they are clearly hidden with spoiler tags!!.

This really isn't worth arguing over. Soon we'll be onto a new page and your selfishness/thoughtlessness and this ensuing volley will be out of sight.

I still don't understand why it was necessary to include details of the very thing you were telling us not to look at, even if was in spoiler tags. What's the point? Except to say "Look what I know"?

You're the only person to have posted spoilers in this thread, and it would be a really nice gesture if you were to remove them. I would like to share a bit of the pre-finale excitement with some like-minded saddos this afternoon and don't want to have to keep resisting the temptation to uncover them. It will only take a mouse click in a moment of weakness to spoil my whole day.

Sorry to flame you but you pop up every now and again with bizarre bees in your bonnet
The purpose of spoilers is that they must be clicked on. Don't click on them. End of.

Oh......morning all.

TBH, crapola. There are tons of spoiler tags in this thread. I posted a couple yesterday. Sorry to butt in, but you're being very unfair to my mate and upsetting the pleasant harmony of the thread!

This is a pre-airing discussion so if people want to put in spoilers that is up to them!. If she was being selfish, she wouldn't have had the decency to put in spoiler tags!.

WHERE'S THE MERCHANDISING!!??”

I am looking forward to being able to get a model Dalek And a model sonic screwdriver.

BTW in one of his interviews CE did say that he'd seen his 'doll' and sonic screwdriver so I'd guess they are on their way.

Thanks for the support guys.

I know it's silly but I'm actually really upset about this as I did genuinely post that to do people who don't want spoilers a favour and really don't understand gymboys anger. It was nothing to do with 'look what I know' and all to do with 'don't look at....' I posted a couple of tasters in spoiler tags as I know there are lots of other people who like spoilers and might want a hint about what the pics were, and I can't see why that is such an issue.

I'm going offline now to get on with some of those 'real life' type things that get in the way of Doctor Who, I'll probably see you all later.

Thankyou Eileen - I don't often look at the main page and the pics are excellent!

gymboy - sorry buddy but you're totally out of line.

Now - can we all go back to playing nicely?

Behave

As the starter of this thread, I would like to say you can post spoiler if you want, but please remember to wrap spoiler tags round them

By the way, what does the 'voice' say in the most recent trailer: It says 'Hail the Doctor! The great xxxx' I can't make out the rest of the words...

Is it just me or do the off-screen voices which CE looks up at all sound at different piches: 'I am the God of all Daleks' 'They survived through me' and 'Hail the Doctor'.

I don't want to know what happens 2night, so don't spoil it for me!

Gosh!

The thing is, tbh, is whilst I avidly hate spoilers, I think anyone following this series knows pretty much how it pans out - a bit like EPIII, so the enjoyment is going to be in the details and the acting.

A triumph of writing, production and acting - this series is the vanguard, the flagship of British TV. I so hope the BBC have finally twigged that quality sci-fi works, and they apply these production values to some of there other IP (imagine Blakes 7 coming back with decent effects).

I cannot wait for tonight yet, equally, I don't want it to end. Ever. I just want CE's Dr, Rose and Capt Jack to go on more adventures in their strange little Police box. If Casualty gets about 40 episodes a year, we deserve more than 13! Fingers crossed the yanks see sense and buy this and demand their standard 22/26 episode series!

One thing that worries me is I just know I am going to blub at the end of this episode in front of the missus and the bairn. Does the old 'fly in my eye/touch of hayfever' excuse still work?

Och, still 6 hours and 16 minutes to go.......

Think as long as people use spoiler tags as a courtesy to others then it is up to the individual whether they choose to read them or not. I can understand people dont want to know too much detail so can only suggest not reading messages with spoiler tags in them...do not give into temptation.

Wise words...

BG - If you want to put up the 'post-air' discussion thread, I'll sort out the poll.

Tis done but I am sure I have put it up too early and the mods will merge it with everything else. Just pleased that after 13 weeks I have been able to start a thread for all you lovely people.
