Well looking at the Doctor Who forums, they didn't seem too concerned about any of the kisses, yet when the TV Movie with Paul McGann came out and there was a kiss in that, they were fuming haha.

Here's a radical idea! Instead of showing OFAH next week, why not repeat the 1996 movie of Dr Who? Especially now that interest has been revived....it would even help new fans understand who the Master is if he ever came back. I don't believe it's been shown since its first transmissiuon in May 1996.

The movie did get a late night BBC2 repeat in the 'Dr Who Night' in 1999 !

Anyone catch Nick 'Dalek Voice etc' Briggs being interviewed by BBC Wm's Les Ross this morning?

Anyone at BBC Birmingham care to make that interview available online for anyone that missed it?

A brilliant last episode, and when Rose said she was the Bad Wolf thing my mouth was open in amazement. No programme has ever done that to me before.

I've got to say i think I'm a bit of a Dr Who fan now!

Dr Who only got 6.19 million viewers last night. Crying or Very sad

But that's due to the weather according to Digital Spy.

Still, there's a few more repeats to come on BBC3 yet that will holster the ratings.

Since this new series of Doctor Who has been such a huge success, and given the fact that Dick 'n' Dom's p*ss poor
revival of "Ask the Family" has been scrapped after one series, I reckon the BBC could get away re-running the entire
series again in the 6pm slot on BBC TWO. Perhaps they could also take the opportunity show the 1996 TV movie
again, as a forerunner, and for the benefit of those that haven't had the chance to see it yet.

To be honest I think it was pretty stupid showing the countdown into Doctor Who as it just ended up giving away everything that was going to happen. Baring in mind the amount of other spoilers dotted around the Beeb I thought at last I was going to be safe from them. Fortunately I changed the channel and switched back at the beginning of the ident and then watched the countdown afterwards.
Disapointing ratings - I bet the BBC are fuming with all of the promotion. However I think it will be interesting to see what the viewers would be if they showed the whole series again on Saturday Night over on BBC TWO.
A really good episode though.

ratings are still good for the weather.

Just rewatching it again on BBC3 and forgot just how fab it is when the doctor's hologram turns towards Rose.

Could someone be kind enough to capture the regeneration sequence about to play on BBC 3?

My vcr has just chewed the tape I was going to use.

If you go to www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho there is a clip of said re-generation scene in the Video Player.

Just turn your volume down...trust me.
