whynotboth.gif, basically. The anniversary is the reason the episode is happening, but it's rare stuff stays spoiler-free until day of broadcast in this age so it'd be cool to have that mystery going into the screening.

You're totally right I just kinda hate that about modern life. There's this weird hierarchy where people who watch the episode early or know how to access it are treated as gods by some people, when really they're just making life shitty for those of us that want to stay spoiler-free. It's weird because in everyday life I'm THE most impatient person.

I really did not like the last series with Clara.

My opinion on the special is.....

Spoiler

I liked it a lot.

THIIIIS FUCKING GUUUUYYYYYYY

I don't believe you, guy.

 

[Slowdive]

Interesting, I suggested the same thing after the last episode we had and got shot down, just saying, lol. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=58154768&postcount=13444

Oops, I thought it was official but people on GB said it's made up and been around for a while.

 

[Symphonia]

Yeah, let's hope it remains under wraps with just over 2 weeks to go.

As I've spent £12.50 to reserve a seat at my local cinema, I wholeheartedly agree with this post. I'll be so pissed if any spoilers are posted in this thread without the much-needed tags.

 

[Fuu]

I was exaggerating a bit. Still just a shade out of character in my opinion, but it bothers me not nearly as much as it bothers the people it really bothers.

I see what you mean but I wouldn't say it's that out of character for the 11th Doctor in particular, lest we forget he kissed Rory in a similar situation of excitement.

Apparently it's going to be showing in the UK at the same time as the X-Factor on November 23rd.

8PM, that is.

My cinema ticket says 7:30pm.

Unless the screening in the cinema will begin before home screenings.

UK air time is 7.45PM, She means that it will be on during the X-Factor since it ends at 9PM

 

[8bit]

Doesn't that means doors open at 7:30? I've never understood cinema tickets to be honest.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Typically UK cinema tickets have the start time 15 mins or so before the actual movie beings. Trailers, Adverts and allowing for people to be seated. At least that is what my Local Vue does.

 

[Exterminieren]

7:45 will be the latest start for any episode of modern Who, and only the TV Movie would have started later throughout the show's whole history.

 

[APZonerunner]

Gutted that they're up against The X Factor. This deserves as many viewers as possible.

The X Factor is not remotely the force it was. It's rating millions below Strictly, which will serve as Who's lead-in. It's going to be a crammed night of telly, but after Strictly is absolutely the best place for it. The Tennant & Piper factor coupled with the heavy promotion will carry it over- maybe not more than Strictly, but certainly more than The X Factor has been pulling this series.

 

[8bit]

The X-Factor is a bit of a shadow of what it used to be, but a clever cross promotion I could see working would be getting One Direction on it that week.

Would do nothing. The demographic that idolises One Direction will be watching X Factor over Who whatever the weather.

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Just got my ticket for the Ames showing on the 25th!

Funnily enough One Direction have made the 23rd One Direction day where they'll be having a live stream for most of the day, so they'll be watching that probably.

That's what I was thinking about, aren't they trying to claim the savetheday hashtag too?

Yay! And then maybe the prelude/prequel thingy for the following Sat?

Finally the trailer. It's sad we had to wait this long.

Still no airtime for the 50th?

Theatres here have it listed for 2:45 PM ET, so that sounds about right.

Scarf girl is (minor character identity spoiler)

Tennant suit looks a bit weird in that one shot. Wonder if that one is the one that isn't an original. (They had one that was, and one that wasn't.)

Agreed, we've been used to Matt Smith for so long, and now Tennant is back with us, he looks like he never left the role.

Tennant's hair is weird.

OBJECTION!

Exciting pictures!

Someone on GB was at "An evening with Steven Moffat" earlier

Was at the event, the evening with steven moffat, and it was awesome and the trailer is so amazing seriously worth the wait! both of them!

i'd hate to spoil it all for you to be honest! Just wait seriously it's so worth it!

we got shown two trailers, one airing saturday and a longer trailer that moffat said he will personally upload and get online. Both are out of this world!

It's pretty flattened. His hair throughout his run hasn't been completely consistent.

Just another style to add to the 10th Doctor.

So I guess that means that this takes place right before The End of Time for the 10th Doctor.

New DWM is out end of next week, cover should be revealed early next week:

Honourable mention:

It's funny - those images remind me how much attention Tennant paid to his costume. He wears that suit different ways in every episode - different amounts of buttons done up or not, popped collars, not, etc etc. I remember hearing him explain about how much he and the costume designer agonized about making the suit look a little bit different in every episode in a DVD commentary. Funny little thing.

Also - the hair and Piper's outfit are the best thing about The Idiot's Lantern.
