Being on here during (gasp) broadcast of a new Dr. Who epsiode

**Carol Baynes** · 21st Apr 2007, 7:21 PM

DOes anyone else ever get this problem?...The new series is on on a Saturday night and something gets in the way of you watching it, and you fancy popping on PS.

I sat down with my tea and slices of ginger cake and the episode got 15 minutes in and the bloody phone goes. I'm sat there hoping it's for my housemate, until I'm informed it's for me!

My new 'romantic interest'

had decided to ring me. I didn't mention "Dr. Who" while I was chatting, but we're going to have to have a chat about that or I can't see any future in the relationship.

Good job I was video taping it as well, eh?!

Anyway, enough of my shit...has it gone off yet so I can watch the whole thing?? I feel like a right traitor being on here at this time!

It's finished now Carol, though I turned off just before next week's trailer, so you might want to give it 30 seconds more.

Edit: I did miss a few minutes toward the start as my Uncle came in to my room to say hello, he's over here playing Bridge with my Mum tonight. I tried to look pleased to see him, but was a bit annoyed I was missing some of the show!

Yes it's really quite shocking....

What's worse is having people wanting to post on here about the episode & the thread not being open.

**Alex** · 21st Apr 2007, 7:55 PM

I've already forgotten all the things I was going to say about it now.

**Dirk Gently** · 21st Apr 2007, 7:57 PM

That's what I use Microsoft Word for.

I wanted to do that while it was on! I have entered the next stage of on-line geekdom! Geekdom must evolve and survive!

**stephenhannan** · 21st Apr 2007, 8:12 PM

Im ready and waiting. For once I have some unkind things to say.

**Dirk Gently** · 21st Apr 2007, 8:12 PM

As I say, I use MS word while it's on, that's why there is a list of things that happen that I want to remember at the start of my post on the comments thread. I want to keep thoughts while I have them but I don't want to miss anything, that's also why I watch it again on Sunday with the commentary on.

**Si Hunt** · 21st Apr 2007, 8:13 PM

It's open now!

Right, I've saved mine to Word now, it's almost been an hour since the show ended and it's getting a bit ridiculous now. I can only guess that something's happened and Pip can't get online, so I hope he's okay and everything...

**Milky Tears** · 21st Apr 2007, 8:28 PM

I was too busy spurting over Vernon Kay to visit Planet Skaro.

Alert the church elders!

Pip's not on-line this evening I don't think, and I can't remember who he told to open it. Anyway, no harm done!

I always switch off my mobile and put the house phone on silent when it's on. Call me an ignorant, anti-social git, but I hate the phone going off at most times (I'm not really one for chatting on the phone), but if it were to go off during 'Doctor Who', I may just have to commit murder.

**SiHart** · 21st Apr 2007, 9:45 PM

I watched it at my sisters this evening, with my nephew needing cuddles, my neice being distracting and a not very loud TV, so I don't think it quite got my full attention! I'm not complaining though, because watching my nephew enjoying the show as much as I did at his age is a joy to see. All his class at school watch you know!

**Andrew Curnow** · 21st Apr 2007, 9:50 PM

What I can't understand is the people on OG, who are actually actively posting while they're 'watching' the episode. That makes no sense to me at all!!!

**Milky Tears** · 21st Apr 2007, 9:59 PM

Digital Spy is even worse, Andrew!

**Si Hunt** · 21st Apr 2007, 10:22 PM

I have to have a glass of water by the sofa and ensure I "attend to nature's calls" before it starts, for fear of missing vital seconds. Nothing like being upstairs trying to force out a piss because you're missing Doctor Who!

**Andrew Curnow** · 21st Apr 2007, 10:24 PM

Ditto, in that I always go to the loo a few minutes before, even if I don't really need to.

**Dirk Gently** · 21st Apr 2007, 10:26 PM

Perhaps you should have a plastic bottle at the ready so you can 'pee' & still see the TV?

**Jon Masters** · 21st Apr 2007, 10:29 PM

I video it and watch it when the kids have gone to bed, in order to 'fear factor ' it first

**Andrew Curnow** · 21st Apr 2007, 10:39 PM

Tim's post reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer and Bart are tied together and have a bottle in the front room so that they can pee while still watching TV. But Marge won't let them use it. "Will somebody tell me, why do we even have a bottle?" asks Homer.

Mm, fascinating Andrew, now go back to sleep...

**Dirk Gently** · 21st Apr 2007, 10:45 PM

@Andrew

**Alex** · 21st Apr 2007, 10:55 PM

I had a bottle when I was in hospital and unable to get out of bed. It was great, I never had to stop what I was doing to answer nature's call for about 2 weeks!

Captain Tancredi · 21st Apr 2007, 10:56 PM

That's all very well, but I've had to hold the bottle for somebody before now...
