Any body going to give me a bottle of water to take to poor Mr Tennant in his suit?

[Morningangel-Iola]

Oh ay the dr has got a new suit.

Either that or they have dyed it

Ooh look, he's toning with his police box

I liked the brown - it was very stuffy, old fashioned etc

[Morningangel-Iola]

I like blue better than brown although I had got used to the brown and thats the one my doll (sorry action figure) wears, not sure why they have changed it. Unless the poor bloke sweated into it too much while making the christmas special that it had to be binned. I hope he's still got the coat I like that coat

There's an interview with the guy from Casualty about Dr Who on BBC Norfolk... people say rude things about the inhabitants of Norfolk, but they obviously have good taste in their choice of TV

Dawn have you seen the new BBC 1 advert for "who do you think you are" (dunno if you have seen it before, but basically where celebs trace their ancestors, I've not seen many but those I saw were brilliant - Moira Stewart traced her ancestry pretty quickly to the Caribbean and the results were really moving) - anyway, in the advert it looks like David Tennant is in this series - he's shown holding up a skull and saying "this could be an ancestor " - NICE!

Anyway, he always seems good humoured so I bet his will be really interesting

(and the video shown was avec beard... if that sways you he hee he hee)

[Morningangel-Iola]

Yes I too saw the advert, I had already read about it somewhere. I do like the programme well the ones I have caught. So I will have to try and catch that

Thanks for keeping an eye open for me

I prefer him minus beard, but I can put up with it.

When I was over in Brazil recently they had a very big TV ad campaign going for season 1 of the New Dr  , I had to try to explain it to a Chilian freind LOL

Wonder how long it will be before the BBC again tries to think up ways to get rid of the Dr

[Morningangel-Iola]

I shouldn't think so, the rating are massive.

Doctor who has been cheated!!!!

Read this article from the Dr who website;

"Record breaker?
Does Stargate really beat Who as longest running show?

When the 2007 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records landed on the Doctor Who website team's desk, we were eager to see if Doctor Who gets another mention in the new volume.

It does, but not quite in the way were expecting.

Baffled by its claims, we asked Tom Spilsbury, the statistically-minded assistant editor of Doctor Who Magazine, to do the maths for us:

"I was pleased to see that Doctor Who is mentioned on page 178, as 'the longest-running science-fiction TV series'," says Tom, "although there have been 723 episodes now, not just 709, tsk!

"But I was left rather baffled by the entry on page 180, which lists the record for 'Longest running sci-fi TV show (consecutive)'.

"The book has awarded this particular record to the US series Stargate SG-1, which started in July 1997 and had notched up 203 episodes, beating the previous record of 202, allegedly held by The X Files. (There's even a picture of the SG-1 cast with their certificate!)

"Why isn't Doctor Who given this record, when the programme had a new series of episodes every year without fail between 1963 and 1989, racking up 695 episodes in the process? Why doesn't this count as a much longer 'consecutive' run? Surely 695 consecutive episodes beats 203, doesn't it? Doesn't it?"

Does anyone have a contact for the Guinness Book of World Records? They seem rather hard to get hold of..."
