Christmas eve at 7.

Whew, thought you meant RTD was to reuse the same ideas AGAIN for the end of series 4....

Is it on BBC1. Will they edit it to include Time Crash before the hits?

Interesting - the CIN stuff tends to be a one off. Artists give their time free and no repeat fees are negotiated. This is certainly the case with Dimensions In Time which will never be repeated or released on DVD (thank God).

Having spent the other Friday night in a vodka induced state I watched 'The Master Trilogy' and enjoyed far, far more than wachting them as individual episodes. There are some fantastic moments in them all, and the more I see LOTL the more I can get into it and enjoy it, the Christ analogy is still clunky but that aside the three are quickly become part of my favourites for repeated late night Friday vodka viewing.

Hasn't Moffat said in an interview, that Time Crash will be included on the Series 4 box set. I may be imagining it but I'm sure I saw it on another forum. A percentage of each set sold could go to CIN I suppose.

it's repeated on BBC3

I agree. I was disappointed in Last Of The Time Lords the first time around but when I recently watched all three episodes back to back, it actually seemed to fit a lot better. Watching the three parter in one marathon works really well IMHO. It gives the storyarc as a whole a much more epic feel, and made me appreciate Martha's year-that-never-was journey more too.

D'oh, I've only just realised that the post referred to the last 3 episodes of series 3. When the poster mentioned Master Trilogy, I though he meant the Classic Series New Beginnings box set

I'm sure it will. The previous CIN mini-episode was included on the season 2 box set.

It's on BBC 3 and no it does not include time crash is not joined on to it.

Awww, I was hoping to laugh at DT's instantly dissapearing suntan again in the cut between Marthas' departure and the start of the CIN special.

I'll admit that I thought it too! The similarities are great actually - particularly the idea of the good-natured elder character becoming the evil Master character at the end of the first part of the trilogy. Both times, there was a clue in the name - Tremas (anagram of Master, although really no reason why it should be!) and Yana (acronym of the Face of Boe's message - again, absolutely no reason why it should be!).

LAST of the Timelords shoudl be DELETED - not repeated!

It was rank bad tommyrot.

For someone who dislikes Doctor Who and slags it off alot, you sure do spend a lot of time here slagging it off. Just leave please and stop annoying us all.

Youa re wrong.

Dervish no one is forcing you to watch.....at least I hope they're not. If you don't like it switch off or over.

Dervish has as much right as anyone to watch, no matter how he/she feels about it.

I don't agree with many things Dervish has to say, but find his/her messages more interesting and provocative to read than those of many other posters. I'm also surprised at the degree of animosity Dervish's messages receive, given that several opinions he/she has presented aren't all that far off what other posters want: a good example of this is the number of people who want Doctor Who to go back to the "good old days", whether in terms of an older Doctor, a Master with more gravitas, or companions who don't have a family background...

Personally, I hope Dervish swallows his/her pride, watches season 4 and rants about it as much as possible! He/she is a bit more fun than "FanBoy"

It gets better on repeated viewing.

Nyingy, constructive criticism is fine, but his are rarely constructive.

We're not saying he doesn't have the right to watch it, just that he's wasting 14 hours (including crimbo specials) a year watching something he seemingly hates and then ruins discussions on here posting bad stuff about it without providing reasons. We're advising him not to watch it, or watch it and make constructive criticisms or none at all.

To be frank, I think that a decent proportion of what one sees on here isn't all that constructive: much of it can be summed up as "I want, I want, I want", or "I hate/love RTD". A lot of comments are equally biased as Dervish's, equally unenlightened (NB from other people's perspectives!), but simply "dressed" rather better.

(Dervish goes overboard on some matters: his/her "assassinations" of several females involved in the show are unacceptable, if they are meant seriously)

Certainly, it might be argued that Dervish should not watch Doctor Who if he/she doesn't like it: it certainly seems he/she is wasting many hours of his/her time! But it is his/her right to watch the show and he/she has no obligation to comment on it in a particular way. I have seen plenty instances where Dervish's comments have added to the discussion, or indeed created more interesting discussions. His/her comments are not always presented without justifications, though sometimes they edge towards the bizarre end of the spectrum!

Your comment about ruining discussions can be addressed simply: it takes two to tango. We're not in a pub, where it can be difficult to ignore the two drunks yelling at one another: this is an online resource where we are in control of what we hear and what we see. Yes: Dervish should perhaps consider using his remote come 6.50pm 9 days from now; but, without wishing to appear flippant, one might suggest that if people don't like them, people should similarly ignore Dervish's messages

Why????

Its cr@p ..... what a waste of time (I'm watching it now for the first time ... )

Its pathetically silly ..... not worth a second viewing

I agree, Last of the Timelords was certainly the worst of the 3 series finales. (Although Utopia and The Sound of Drums were FANTASTIC)

Why is it crap, why is it silly?
Okay, the way the Doctor got himself out of captivity was a little lame and how he hasn't revealed that ability before but it was a good episode all the same, at least IMO.

The worst? Did you not see Doomsday? with the plunger for one had, whisk for the other Daleks and the not in the slightest bit intimidating Cybmen. I wasn't able to watch that properly though my dad's 'as ifs', and he enjoyed and grew up the old even version lol, which as great as it was at the time, was filled with 'as ifs'.

I'm one of the obviously few Who fans who dislikes most episodes the Daleks star in these days.
