Doctor Who The Eleventh Doctor - spoilers

[Feathers]

I meant to say, it's nice to see the likes of Mark Sheppard appearing in BBC productions like this. It gives a clear indication of the reach of this show in particular.

Plus I liked the way they used Marks Father to play the older version. That was cool.

Favourite bit was River talking about the Doctor knowing her more evrytime they meet....but for her, everytime they meet he knows her less as they are going through time in opposite directions.....loved that!

Found this awesome timeline...

I was not able to catch this on the season premiere. And I forgot to set in up on DVR!!!! I could have kicked myself. And I hope since I dvr'ed last night it will be uncut. I will watch it later with the last season review show that they aired also last night. Oh, and by the way we had a nice Anniversary and she picked Uno's for our dinner.

All I know is I really want to order some Jammie Dodgers after seeing the opening episode.  And maybe a fez too!  Or better yet, a stetson.  "Cause, stetson's are cool!"   :tardis

Doctor Who season premiere BBC America's highest rated show ever

If you think you were nervous about Saturday's Doctor Who season-six premiere, just imagine how the creators must have felt. While we were worrying about whether or not it would be any good, they were worrying about whether we'd even turn up for another dose of Matt Smith.

Well, the numbers and the positive critical response show that neither of us had anything to worry about. That is ... in the U.S. The UK reception was a different matter entirely.

According to TV By the Numbers, "The Impossible Astronaut", the first episode of the new season, was BBC America's highest-rated, most-watched telecast ever in the Live + Same Day category, reaching almost 1.3 million viewers, which was up by 71,000 viewers from the network's previous best, which was LAST season's opening episode of Doctor Who.

The news from the other side of the pond wasn't as positive, however. According to the BBC, the first episode in the UK was "watched by an average audience of 6.5 million viewers," which sounds pretty good until you realize that this "was down from the eight million recorded by overnight figures on Matt Smith's show debut in April 2010."

In fact:

   While final consolidated viewing figures—which include playback on recording devices—will push ratings higher, "The Impossible Astronaut" is likely to be the least watched series opener since Doctor Who was relaunched in 2005.

We're sure that there are doctoral theses to be written about why Doctor Who's stock rose in the U.S. and fell in the UK, but what do YOU think's going on here?

[Feathers]

I wonder if the UK numbers are down to something as simple as the fact that they aired it in the middle of a four-day weeked.

Many people go away over Easter so I'd suspect the DVR (same week)numbers (if there are such things) are correspondingly higher.

Just watched the season premier last night with my daughter. It was definitely interesting. I was confused as heck as it started, and still to this point somewhat. But as my daughter stated, it always becomes clear at some point in the story.

I thought it was fun though and a great start to the season. And I loved all the behind the scenes stuff they showed about the Dr. in America.

Jammie Dodgers are one of my favorite snacks when I'm in the UK.  Last time there I went out to get some and stopped in a small shop in Kings Lynn and found some TARDIS salt and pepper pots.  Silly people thought they were police boxes, but I knew better.

Oh....and I had a bag of Jelly Babies that I saved and shared with my daughter last Saturday as we watched the start of the new season.

[Feathers]

We have a bag of Jelly babies left over from last week's holiday. I'm getting through them slowly. I haven't had a Jammie Dodger in years.
