New Doctor Who Sat BBC America

[JPkempo]

The christmas special is going to be on BBC America a 9:00 This Saturday the 27th

I'd like to see it on TV (i've only watched it once on youtube) but the problem is I know BBC America is going to edit the hell out of it to make room for a million commercials... They really ruin Doctor Who bigtime by doing that.

I'll have to record it and watch it later so i can skip the commercials and the timing of the breaks is weird too.

[JPkempo]

It looks like the running time is 1:15 so it will probibly be all there. Just running longer for the commercials.

[Mikey]

The thing with BBC America commercials .....
They don't run too many in a spot .....
The prob is they have like a spot every 5 minutes which comes out to like 12 spots per hour -- including 20 commercials for Ramsey's Kitchen

Yeah and however many commercials they have for the Torchwood special as well.

If you can get someone to do it (I do not have the right software) many times BBC will put episodes for download up on their website. NOT BBCAmerica, but BBC itself. We have a friend that has done this. Also episodes are typically available for UTorrent downloads- people from all over the world put up shows, videos, and movies there.

If you can do it I would suggest it, I run my computer off of a router and it is a pain in the dupa to do them because they take FOREVER unless I change my operating system and completely turn off my anti-virus. BUT not everyone has those issues.

THis way you can get the episodes, burn them to disc and watch them in your DVD player on the TV or your computer and they are the original episodes, not the cut up ones.

The other computer has been able to torrent things fine, but it is much slower so it takes a bit longer than a newer computer.

We love getting to see the new episodes- and so do the girls.

I think those videos are all in PAL format .. which means most American players wont be able to read them once burned.

Even if they burned region free, they'll still be in PAL

[LadyCommand]

Which ones- from BBC or Utorrent? I know that some are able to be viewed because we have them from there. We did a Utorrent of the last regular episode of DR WHO and watched it just a few hours after it was aired in the UK.

Before it was dependent on the BBC only for them - and my husband's friend would get them all for us and burn them- but we have all of the DR WHO episodes that the friend downloaded for us and all are playable in the DVD player, the Playstation2, and the laptop (and I know the Playstation2 doesn't have a decoding or anything to make PAL playable).

Hope you get them- gook luck!

BBC blocks down loads out side of the UK.

David Tennant is on Graham Norton after this airs. Says it's suppose to be from this year.

[Mikey]

The Graham Norton show was a rip-off.
They advertised it as "new" ... but this show was repeated many times for the last 2 years.
It's so old it was made at the start of the Martha season.

BBC America are outright liers for saying yesterday's episode was new

[jwyblejr]

I am just so confused as to what they've done with the Cybermen.
