Night Elf Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 DH is most excited today about the Christmas special coming on tonight. He's going to watch the Farewell to Mat Smith that comes on first. We're trying to decide how much of Peter Capaldi they are going to show at regeneration. We're hoping it's more than the eyes this time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Having Doctor Who come on Christmas day is like getting an extra special present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Regenerating always happens at the very end of the episode in the last few seconds. Except for 2nd - 3rd. He regenerated at the beginning. And except for the Paul McGann movie. Sylvester had an entire scene, died in a hospital when our medical care didn't work on his alien body, and then the rest of the movie was with Paul. Don't get your hopes up that it'll be more than a "Oh look! I regenerated! Still a man, I see. Ginger hair yet?" Que the credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Any one have any idea how long to wait until the next season with our new Doctor? I am resigned to waiting until next Christmas, but hopeful it won't be quite that long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyThreeSons Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Ds is a little upset with me. A couple of weeks ago, we canceled our extra movie channels on cable that they gave us, but we never watched. Once the introductory period ran out, we were having to pay for them. Now ds realizes that canceling those also canceled whatever channel it is that Dr. Who is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 We don't have BBC America - it is part of a cable package we're not willing to pay for since we wouldn't watch it enough to be worth it. Really, Dr Who would be the only thing! I've been trying to find out when it will be available on Amazon instant video. No information yet!

redsquirrel Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 It will be available from itunes on Thursday. With 'Day of the Doctor' it was available at midnight to download. At least that is what I am assuming from this: "The 2013 “Doctor Who†Christmas special, “The Time of the Doctor,†will air Wednesday night on BBC America. It will be available for download on all of BBC America’s digital partners starting Thursday." I am guessing 'digital partner' means itunes and amazon?

MariannNOVA Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 The special is discussed almost every day here. THE only reason we have BBC America is for Dr. Who. THE only reason we have Showtime is for Homeland. Looking forward to the farewell Matt smith show and the special. Merry Christmas to all!

readwithem Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 We don't have TV here but a local indie-type theatre is showing it "live" (on BBC America, I guess?) at 8pm. DD and I went to the theatre this morning to pick up free reserved seating tickets (they're only giving out 2/person and we needed 4) - we'll still arrive about an hour early, just in case. DD was thrilled to get Tardis earrings in her stocking - perfect accessory for tonight :D As an aside, it took us two minutes to get to the theatre, which is normally about a 20 minute drive. Amazing what no traffic on the roads can do :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Can't wait to watch it! I'm going to miss Matt Smith, but I'm hoping for a new focus with the new guy. Doctor Who is a great way to end Christmas day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been getting it that way for several years now, and episodes (including specials) are always available the next day. It irritates me that Amazon doesn't list upcoming episodes, but as long as I know it will be available I can live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimtaxi234 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 This is my first real time regeneration. I SOBBED - as in the big BOO HOO crying when David Tennant regenerated. It was beautifully acted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I SOBBED - as in the big BOO HOO crying when David Tennant regenerated. It was beautifully acted. Our Costco had End of Time playing on loop on their TVs by the entrance for, like, three months. Every single time I went in there I had to watch Ten regenerate. I had tears in my samples.
