Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special

Am I the only one who thought it was more than just a tiny bit crap.
Very disappointed.

Not crap, as such, just a bit, mehh.

Went straight from watching DW to the new series of Borgen on BBC4. Now THAT's great television. Please dear lord, don't let some US network fuck it up with another shite remake.

Dr who. Self indulgent, deliberately incomprehensible tosh

I find that if you'd want a story to meet your own expectations you ought to write it yourself.

Er, yeah.

Dr Who:
I just don't get it!
Is it only me who fails to see the attraction?

Yes, you're the only one

WRONG!

Most of the reviews over here refer to its contrived first hour but agree that it was needed (for the nerdy fans ... ) to properly prepare for the final fifteen minutes which everyone seems to think was brilliant.

At the screening at the BFI (British Film Institute), at which I wasn't present I should add, the theatre apparently broke into applause the moment Tom Baker's voice could be heard off-screen.

I've PVR'd it but have only had time to watch the first twenty minutes or so and yes, it's been a bit slow so far ...
