Call that an apology?

Well, a 'spokesman' was dragged from his Sunday lunch to address the concerns of Thousands of Doctor Who Fans and came up with this 'apology'Apparently there is 'an appropriate time' for these things - over an earlier speech maybe ( Read more... )

Heee, I saw that.

They might even promise not to do it again.

Presumably the iplayer version doens' have it

I doubt they'll make any promises - this is, after all, the BBC.

I assume iplayer is IPP-free - HD and BBC Scotland didn't have it (but only because their 'next programme' wasn't OTR)

I am going to watch it again (with subtitles) on BBC3 shortly. I may be some time...

At least my Dalek icon is getting an outing.

Nope. I was out last night, so only heard about this when Nick Walters posted a comment on Facebook. By then, I'd watched via Virgin's iPlayer replayer, without such interference.

Oh good. I shall get the full benefit then.

Either "episode's" or "episodes'" opening scene in that article - though I trust that Graham Norton did not have a voice-over in more than one of the first series of new!who.

At least they've had to eat a few words, even if they've spat out most of them afterwards.

I know. Sometimes I wonder whether they know why we pay the licence fee.

*needs a dalek icon like woah*

(ETA - If I could only stop thinking that anything further than Whitstable [or if I'm feeling dangerous, Folkestone] was a long way away, you actually live driving-distance from me. And you have cats and a dog and a lil_shepherd whom I could also visit....)

lil_shepherd April 25 2010, 18:35:25 UTC

My dear, as soon as we have a car again (remember that Ina crashed ours on Friday) we will visit you, along with Little Dog Draco. Or you can visit us. It matters not.

I'm waiting for my personal reply, as requested on their complaints form.

BTW, BBC, I don't appreciate that when I click on a link saying "email us with your complaint", I get sent to a long and boring form with lots of drop-down menus that takes ages to load each page.

stevegreen April 25 2010, 23:57:27 UTC

You think they seriously want you to complete the form?
