Never mind the kids. I've just watched Blink in broad daylight on my PVR and the ending scared the f**k out of me and I'm a grown man in my forties, I live in an old house and I'll never look at statues in the same way again. Or maybe I'll never look away from statues again

Are you their mummy (say out loud in a little boy lost voice)

I know its completely bloody lame isnt it
My family took the mick something chronic!!!
I think it was because the angle of the street light shadow that fell across my window looked like the head of a dinosaur.
Not taking the mick I really was scared!

I screamed at the end of Practical Magic when I was 15!

My dad had seen it before and was waiting - during the resurrection scene, he yelled at the top of his lungs and I almost died of fright.

EDIT

Wrong thread. Sorry.

21 here! Woke up in the middle of the night and didn't want to go back to sleep.


Hides behind sofa .

I am 34 and the Weeping Angels gave me nightmares. Ok guys let's be honest... did anyone really hide behing the sofa when they were a kid? I thought this had just become sort of an urban myth.

My sister did and I laughed at her a lot, thankfully she didn't see me jumping out of my skin and hiding behind a cushion on Saturday night. Needless to say, mine and Mr AK's plans to get a statue of sometype for the rear garden have been shelved, and I swear one of my neighbour's garden gnomes was giving me the evil eye this morning

So...

what kiddie-icons are next up for the DW treatment?

Teletubbies being evil (with a gay agenda)?

Hmmm, too close to reality I think!

K

That *was* genuinely scary - the statues were just so grim!

I remember being scared of 'Children of the Dog Star' on ITV when I was a nipper, but Dr Who never seemed to frighten me. Mind you, my Who era was McCoy...

I can still vividly remember having a nightmare when I was young about the Daleks chasing me and in my dream I hid behind the fridge

lol, does this mean that any programme portraying heterosexual relationships has a "straight" agenda? And if so, what are these agenda that are so oft mooted around these parts? Can we buy them in Boots as I feel having an agenda of my own might enrich my life

I had to hide my own edginess from my 12 year old sister who would never have let me live it down if she'd have known. i'm 19.

Do you really have "a genda" of your own JF?

K

Well it's funny you should ask that KT: as bearing in mind the truly appalling spelling, language usage and grammar hereabouts coupled with an abject lack of critical insight that doesn't contain the illuminating adjectives: "crap", "pants" or "BSG" around here, I'm wondering if "a genda" might not be what most posters on DS believe to be the correct spelling

If you say it quickly you can turn a common phrase into

"I think RTD has a gayer gender"!!!

K

I prostrate myself at the feet of yet another linguistic genius haunting the hallowed corridors of DS...but still am none the wiser as to what you think "a gay agenda" actually is...you see, I and others appear to believe that the chief messages of DW past and present are to celebrate difference and loving someone, whatever species they may be, is far more preferable to exterminating them...surely this is "a human agenda" or at least, in my opinion, it should be

Actually, I agree with all the above. (apart from the 'linguinius' bit...)

K

Fear not, most people around here will assume it has something to do with pasta and have done with it KT

I used to hide behind the sofa during The Golden Shot. Couldn't take the tension.

It's an entirely baseless and unfair accusation that has been thrown at RTD since Doctor Who started. There's a hell of a lot more gay stuff going on in Hollyoaks, Shameless and even Corrie at times (come back, Todd) yet no-one ever moans about those shows having gay agendas...

It is isn't it?



I know it's the wrong thread entirely, but I agree with this as well .

watched it late sunday night with a pillow over eyes, i'm 32 and scared, mind i'm off to buy a stone statue and post it in my sons room next time he is naughty

Dr who does have an agenda and it is a very simple one, white, black, gay, straight alien, human what ever god you follow or don't good always beats bad

p.s for really shocking who check out the racism in tomb of the cyberman this really shocked me when i saw it again recently

I did!!!

On a seperate note I was on a school trip today to a Cathedral with my class, and I lost count of the number of times I heard them say "Dont look at the statues, and if you do dont blink!" Theyre year 6 kids, so theyre all aged 11, but it had obviously scared them enough at the weekend.

I thought the weeping angels lost some of their scariness when they STOPPED playing "peek a boo" and went in for the attack
