Series 4 Start Date Announced!

[Si Hunt]

April 5th - it's official!

What, where and who with, will you be?

Si.

[SiHart]

I don't think we'll be able to keep the tradition of watching the first episode with you and Simon, as we'll be coming to see you the following weekend, so I'm guessing it'll be me and Steve on the sofa at home together.
Unless he know's differently, of course!

[Dirk Gently]

Same as usual, at home with Angela...probably.

[Lord President]

I'll be ratted down the pub, having watched the Grand National with my work colleagues! I'll stagger home in time to watch, and then head out again!

[Si Hunt]

I don't think we'll be able to keep the tradition of watching the first episode with you and Simon, as we'll be coming to see you the following weekend

No I thought that too Si, the one thing that's clobbered the tradition is the fact we'll be seeing you in a week anyway! Oh well, we can't wait to watch Week 2 with you both anyway!

[Jonno]

I'm not expecting to see the first episode until Monday 7th - I'll be seeing it with my parents though once we get back from my sister's at the weekend. I very much doubt it will be on, even if we happen to be in at 7pm on the Sat night. My parents watch it regularly, but not my sister.

[Pip Madeley]

I'll be in Newcastle for the weekend, so that's buggered that. Least I'll enjoy "Doctor Who Up Pompeii" with HaRpi and co a week later

[Larry]

I'll be at home as usual though weather or not I watch it depends on what time my dinner is as normaly I record it and watch it later on.

[Ralph]

I'll be glued to the TV - I've got a chart on my wall counting down the days and hours to go....

[Dirk Gently]

You can probably get a countdown clock on line if you want..

[Ralph]

I'll sit that alongside my deathclock

[WhiteCrow]

I wonder if they're bringing in Doctor Who to try and prop up the ultra lame I'll Do Anything.

[Stephen Morgan]

Probably the first time I won't have seen an episode "live" since 1986, we have an engagement do that evening.

[Wayne]

I'll be glued to the TV - I've got a chart on my wall counting down the days and hours to go....

Well, you are a 'modern viewer' after all.

I'll more than likely be at home for the first one, but the following week i'm on a gig, & the week after that i'll be in the pub, so i'll have to either set the dvd recorder, or catch a repeat.

[Si Hunt]

As fate would have it, we'll be watching "Partners in Crime" with P-Bal and Dexter Fletcher, and then nestled in front of "The Horrors of Pompeii and the Rock Monsters of Death" with the cast and crew of "Doctor Who and Heeeeeeeist!"

[Carol Baynes]

I'll be climbing up Ben Macdui in Scotland. It's a good excuse and I'm sticking to it.
So it's repeats, recordings or BBCiplayer for me.

[Milky Tears]

Ben Macdui must've put on a lot of weight since I last saw him!!

Only Ben Nevis is higher (in the UK), isn't it? Look out for the The Big Grey Man, Carol.

[Dave Tudor]

I'll be working that evening.

[SiHart]

Looks like we'l be watching Partners in Crime in Ipswich with Richard and Mike and Chilled Champagne!

[Antony Cox]

It'll just be the two of us watching the first episode at home - though we may be watching it in bed as we're decorating our lounge and God knows when it'll be habitable again...

[Pip Madeley]

though we may be watching it in bed

Dirty boy, dirty boy!

[Captain Tancredi]

Look out for the The Big Grey Man, Carol.

That was my first thought...

On the subject of heights, my book on the Munros has Ben Nevis at 4409ft, Ben Macdui at 4295ft and then it's Braeriach at 4252ft. Then it starts getting confusing because every other mountain in Scotland is called Ben Mhor or a variation. If I ever relocate to Glasgow with work I'll aim to do the Munros, otherwise I'll stick to mountains which have little steam trains going up the side.

April 5th, though- Tranmere are at Walsall, so I can't see myself being in Birkenhead, and while there's nothing on my calendar, I can see myself turning up at Manchester Airport and buying a ticket to Cape Town just to have something interesting going on.

[SiHart]

No confidential this year? Typical, the first year we have digital and could watch it!!
