But more daleks next episode - is it true that this is the first time daleks will have featured 4 times in three series' (and possibly again in Series 3 at the end)?


Well, it's a matter of opinion. They appeared six times in the first four seasons (seven if you include Mission to the Unknown ), but the seasons were much longer then. Then they appeared annually in seasons nine to twelve ( Day of the Daleks, Planet of the Daleks, Death to the Daleks and Genesis of the Daleks ), but a case can be made as they also appeared at the end of Frontier in Space , although it was really just a cliffhanger into Planet .

I'll let you decide!Smile

I thought that was a good episode and am glad it was moved because of football, but if the whole city was on the Motorway, who were those happy traders hoping to sell their stuff to??

I wonder how many Irish viewers thought "just like the M50, then" when the kidnappers told Martha it would take six years to travel ten miles on the Motorway... Smile

That was all explained in the episode.

How come whenever I come on TV Forum there is a post from you complaining that you've missed an episode of something.

Either you're incredibly busy or poorly organised. Depending on your income I suggest you invest in either a TV Guide, a video recorder, a PVR, or Sky + / V+.

No just a memory like a goldfish Laughing

Saturday I watched the repeat of Top Gear instead as I knew Doctor Who was repeated on Sunday, I even remembered it was on at 8:00PM however forgot all about it & only remembered at 8:10PM.

I don't think it matters whether or not I have all of the things you mentioned above I'd still forget Laughing

I'll be honest I was waiting for you to say that Wink

? Or other Timelords?


Maybe it's a reference to
the Doctor's son, who reputedly exists? Or does he definitely exist-- I'm not a Whovian sorry!

Ah well it's only and old saying, who cares anyway Wink

I'm just not very good at remembering that a TV programme is due on, the only one of recent I did remember regulary (sp) (although not every week) was Life On Mars

Any thoughts on tonight's unusual arrangement of the end titles and preview of next week's edition?

Not an unusual arrangement, it was done a few times in the last series. Again, I enjoyed this episode, and I think it has been a cracking season so far. Not one ropey episode. With the new series', it usually takes 4 or 5 for me to get into it, but this series has started at a peak. Also, I wasn't too sure about this, but did I see RICKY GERVAIS as an extra there? He was stood next to the guy who was complaining about the work, and was eventually killed. Or is it just me seeing things?
