About bloody time.... thats fantastic news!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen is the BBC going to air it?
ReplyDeleteSame day I would expect
ReplyDeleteEaster
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Arbor Day?!?
ReplyDeleteIt's a legitimate question you lout. The BBC aired all of the series 5 episodes well before BBC America aired them and, as an American, I'm well aware that "holiday specials" don't necessarily air on the actual holiday they're themed after.
ReplyDeleteDoctor Who is the highlight of the BBC's festive crown. You can almost guarantee it being around 6pm on Christmas Day on BBC1, as it usually is every Christmas Day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your informative answer. Not being from the UK, I'm not accustom to our broadcast networks airing new television episodes and specials on Christmas. Over here, all Christmas and holiday specials are aired anywhere between the day after Thanksgiving (the last Thursday in November) and Christmas Eve. Christmas day is reserved for sporting events, movie marathons, and TV series marathons.
ReplyDeleteI think thats wrong when america make tv shows we in England have to wait weeks to see it but here you wait 7 hours its so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I presume it's just because it's still a BBC company in this case, but is still annoying in many ways :(
