why? its the same thing! unless of course you are one of the annoying morons who tweet, text & facebook each other, while watching something.....which i hope you are not. but today TV should revolve around your life & not the other way round. I'm definitely not one of them. Well, unless there's an ad break (obviously there isn't on BBC). I can't describe it, just something about it feels artificial to me. It may just be that in my family we traditionally watch things together as broadcast rather than on demand. It just doesn't feel the same to me. Is it the bbc logo in the corner?

I really enjoyed this one. Nice to see some of the darker side of Capaldi back. A bit too much of Beast Below there for me perhaps, but overall a bit of a return to form. I'd completely forgotten about The Beast Below. The thing it reminded me most of in concept was Meat from Torchwood, just toned down for a family audience. I always thought the creature in meat... was the same one as from creature from the pit.

You know it's a great. Doctor Who episode when a racist fan bitches about the episode attacking white people on twitter. The episode was so insufferable to him that he's leaving the fandom Anyways I really enjoyed the episode but more coherent thoughts tomorrow. Pleasr tell me more

I loved the Doctor's speech after he punched that racist nobleman. Actually, with a little time and thought, the thing I liked most about that was the Doctor went in with every intention to treat him with respect despite not agreeing his views. It was only Sutcliffe's reaction that instigated the punch. Here is a man so self-absorbed that he won't even consider the Regency nicety of simply ignoring her.

For those interested, here's the episode's speech in full: And you don't even care that he's dead. Doesn't affect you. A life does not become lesser valued simply because it isn't your own. You're a member of the human race. You have knowledge, you have sentience, you have wisdom. Do better.

But you can get that same communal feel watching stuff together iPlayer or are you unable to gather up the same people later? Unless of course you're still using a CRT? I'm getting a funny scene in my head where I can imagine you locking and bolting the living room door from the inside come prime time after you've counted your family. "You're not leaving this bloody room until you've all watched it with me!"

Cathode Ray Tube. Old style television that needed a massive box behind a badly curved screen. Ahh the good old 20th century.

"You're not leaving this bloody room until you've all watched it with me!" My TV has the catch-up services built in. I habe used them but even when I'm watching with my family it doesn't have the same communal feel to me. It just feels like watching a film together on DVD or Blu-Ray as opposed to the cinema. It has a strange artificial feel too to me for some reason. I can't really describe it.

Was Spider the first kid killed on Who? It was heavily implied that the sphere things in Last of the Time Lords were kids, and there's that whole "off screen mass infanticide" from Day of the Doctor, but an on screen death?

For televised Who? Yes, I believe so. Definitely the first human child. It's a big taboo in most cultures to depict children being killed in film and television, for obvious reasons. The idea is deeply confronting.

"You're not leaving this bloody room until you've all watched it with me!" He means a much more wide-spread communal feel than a few folk in his front room - he means feeling that he's sharing the moment with the nation.
