I believe it is the BBC version. I'm pretty sure that was the version for S5 and S6.

Phew. Thank god. Because I have gotten the DVDs of 1-5, and the blu ray of series 6. Was tempted to pay for the Matt Smith digital set on iTunes to get series 5 and 6 in HD for quicker access, but didnt.

 

[celebi23]

Yeah, I noticed a lot of cut stuff in The Big Bang as well. I really hope that's not the case with the new season.

Oh, here's the itunes cover art

Woah, whats up with the second Dalek from the left? Looks like a cannon coming out of its midsection. Was that actually a thing back in the days of old Who?

The first one looks like Bender

 

[EleventhDoctor]

Isn't the first showing on BBC America commercial free-or am I crazy?

Special Weapons Dalek, appeared in a brilliant episode of the 7th Doctors run called Remembrance of the Daleks.

It is a great episode to showcase every strength Sylvester McCoy had in the role and how companions were becoming more in the vain of modern Who even before the revival.

UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING.

Special Weapons Dalek, from Remembrance of the Daleks.

Noted for being utterly insane, even by Dalek standards.

Just watched the Pond Life shorts on YouTune..

Why'd they do this to me?

 

[ag-my001]

The hell? BBC America edited "A Christmas Carol" (probably to include more commercials). I noticed the psychic paper joke was gone. At least On Demand has it up for now.

The BBC America policy since Season 5 has been to show the full episode with fewer commercials on the premiere night, then cut it down for normal formatting for the replays. Top Gear is done the same way, where they give a 1:20:00 block for premieres and then shorten to one hour for replays. Who is less affected since they need to chop off less. AGMGTW was noticeable for the speed up at the end, caused by a slightly longer episode than normal and less stuff that could be cut without mangling the plot.

The on-demand versions have been the full-length episodes. This is convenient for me, as Comcast does not have BBC:A in HD in my area, but the on-demand episodes are HD. I usually do a HD re-watch of the previous episode to gear up for the premiere.

By the by the way, no one has still explained to me when the photo of Amy and her baby was taken. I mean, it had her smiling and I have a hard time thinking she would smile for the camera from the silence.

Why does no one ever answer my question about Amy's picture?! I feel like this is some sort of running joke at this point that I'm not in on.

You keep asking this, but people did infact answer you the first time you asked, I was one of them, you can't complain that no one answers you if you aren't paying attention, lol.

And we don't know, it's either a plot hole, an illusion, something they we're originally going to do and didn't or just haven't done yet.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

What time is it on?

 

[Jintor]

What's the ETA, 4 or 5 hours?

Sorry, I must've missed it the first time.

[Diablos54]

It appears I might be able to watch this tonight after all. THANK YOU BASED DOCTOR!!

 

[King of the Potato People]

I'm trying to figure out what the last good Dalek story was.

 

[Exterminieren]

The Stolen Earth.

But not Journey's End.

 

[Hot Coldman]

The Big Bang wasn't a Dalek story, but it had an awesome Dalek appearance. Similar to how the preceding episode used Cybermen.

 

[The Elite]

Can't wait for the reactions. One hour away!,

 

[Mariolee]

So, compared to The Eleventh Hour and The Impossible Astronaut, how does it fare?

 

[The Elite]

Asylum
Eleventh Hour
Impossible Astronaut

That also makes Asylum my favorite opener of New-Who.

Better than The Eleventh Hour!? HYPE!!!

 

[HolyCheck]

just watched pond life!

its 3:30am ;_; so sleepy. 40 minutes left by my clock?

 

[Mariolee]

Asylum
Eleventh Hour
Impossible Astronaut

That also makes Asylum my favorite opener of New-Who.

Seeing as how Eleventh Hour is probably my favorite Matt Smith episode ever, my hype is at level 11.

 

[The Elite]

Better than The Eleventh Hour!? HYPE!!!

It's close for me. I'm curious to see how it holds up now that I know what's coming.

Anyone not watching it until tonight in NA should bail soon. Don't get spoiled.

 

[Mariolee]

My 10 year old sister is now all caught up. The oldest question in the universe hidden in plain sight also blew her mind.

 

[mightynine]

Watching Total Wipeout before Who - why do I find this slightly more amusing that the American version?

iPlayer is amazing.

I can't watch Wipeout without thinking "This is Ninja Warrior for non-fit people"

 

[Mariolee]

GERONIMO!
