...I am really looking forward to seeing this episode with these old fashioned early 60's Daleks in which it is obviously a crossover in the Dalek timeline... it will be awesome... I was terrified of these Daleks when I was about 10 years old when the first episodes of Doctor Who came on to our television screens in England lol!... I actually got to touch one of the original early Daleks when I went to the Doctor Who exhibition at the ABC television station in 2013... although it was not scary to touch it now it gave me a weird feeling to touch something that I used to be terrified of lol!... here is the one I touched (take note that one of the nodules is missing at the front)...

...it also felt great to touch a Tardis even though it was just a prop built for the exhibition... I don't know... it just brings out the child within me to actually touch these things I guess lol!... cheers.
 
Spring & the Doctor on the doorstep, fantastic.

So I too emailed ABC 2 weeks ago, asking about Sunday morning simulcast, and email I got back, we will get back to you within 30 days.
And i rang them today - they know nothing yet, but it will be HEAVILY PROMOTED when programming is finalised, soon I hope.
She could not commit, but I asked - well, no reason the expect otherwise is there? It has been ratings and fan winner?
She just laughed and said, well yes that is true, but non-committal.

Anyway, everyone getting in the zone, and watching the awesome repeats, twice daily, and I can't help myself - I watch both times.
Except tonight - I hate this one.
Here is the schedule, so you can peruse and don't miss next week, Wednesday/Thursday, the 50th repeat, and the beginning of Capaldi era.

And thanks @Mr Stickyfingers, hope you are continuing to do well, and as it is only nice & clever posters in here - of course - you should all be smart enough to know who this is, hackers hacked my account and were posting as the old me. Very creepy - and I found more constructive and interesting ways to procrastinate, so I intend to stay here only with occasional forays into junk food perhaps.

John Hurt on being knighted, his recently diagnosed cancer and playing his old drinking buddy Jeffrey Bernard

http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015...ternalId=6cb747a3-35e9-4301-8aab-de83418ecea0


Insane?” asks the newly ennobled actor, Sir John Hurt. “I know I’ve gone mad at times. Of course I have. There’s a thin dividing line between that and sanity and you don’t know where you are a lot of the time. The line is fictitious, and alterable. You can move around within it.”

Thus begins another rollicking conversation with one of our most distinguished actors, twice nominated for an Oscar (Midnight Express and The Elephant Man), winner of four Baftas (including for The Naked Civil Servant), an incarnation of Doctor Who in 2013, and wand merchant Mr Ollivander in several Harry Potter films. He admits some of his 200-plus credits have been “stinkers” for money to finance a hell-raising life, now curtailed, with mates like Peter O’Toole, Oliver Reed, Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon.

He was surprised to be knighted by the Queen last month. “I did nothing to encourage it,” he says, and after a pause adds mischievously, “Some people do, you know.” It would be indelicate to discuss names, but we know those who have turned it down. “Albert [Finney] refused because he says he’s only just got used to being called ‘Mr’. And so did Paul [Scofield]. They’re not agin’ it, but didn’t want it for themselves.

“I like being Sir John – it works, doesn’t it? Or John. The only thing that sticks in my craw is when people say ‘Mr Hurt’. I tell them it’s no longer correct.” Yet, vanity seems alien to him. For years he refused to have a mirror in his house. “Acting isn’t about looking at yourself, and I never thought I was good-looking.”

We speak at his home in Norfolk where he’s having treatment for early-stage pancreatic cancer diagnosed in June. Now 75, he once told me he didn’t think he’d live beyond 30. “That’s a generation thing. We were crawling away from the war and the world was a different place. Electronics has brought it down to size, one of the biggest revolutions in human history. I can’t say I worry about mortality, but it’s impossible to get to my age and not have a little contemplation of it. We’re all just passing time, and occupy our chair very briefly. But my treatment is going terrifically well, so I’m optimistic.”

--

His elder brother, Michael, is staying with him. He’s called Brother Anselm, a Catholic monk, who left the church to marry and divorce, twice, and is now visiting his daughter. “She and her family have a caravan nearby.” Hurt’s – Sir John’s – father was a peripatetic high-church priest “who chose gruesome places to work – Grimsby and the Midlands – because he believed working-class areas were more truthful. I thought of going into the church – I loved the ritual – when I was young, but reacted against it as a teenager.”

Today he stars in Radio 4’s Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell as the eponymous writer, roué and drunk whose acerbic Spectator Low Life column is immortalised in the play by Keith Waterhouse. It takes place in the Coach & Horses pub in London’s Soho, where Bernard is locked in overnight, having fallen asleep in the toilet. He muses on his friends and his “wretched” life, which saw him discharged from the Army, working as a stagehand and being sacked from Sporting Life after he’d been advised to take up journalism because he couldn’t hold down a proper job. He died aged 65 in 1997.

Sir John was offered the stage production in 1989, but turned it down. “I’d like to keep that quiet because it could be considered a mistake, but I had specific reasons: I thought Keith wrote something too comic. Jeffrey was a very funny man, but his life was not entirely so. He was good at taking the p**s out of himself, and us, and adept at turning sadness into amusement, but there was something underlying it that was not entirely come dic. I met him first in the early 60s, and always liked him. I took him to the races a lot – and back again, which was quite a feat.

“He always had money problems but paid his way and was stroppy if others didn’t. I felt I knew him so well that my approach would have been a version of him, but Peter O’Toole was perfect. He told Jeffrey, ‘Don’t think this is about you. It’s all about me and my entrance to Soho.’ I saw it twice and thought it was brilliant.”

...that really is an open-ended response isn't it KIK?... but when you think of what happened last year when they basically popped it on the schedule unannounced as a test run then logic dictates that because of the loads of positive responses that they received with howls of delight by us Whovians all around then they will do it again... don't forget... when we all got up bleary-eyed to watch the Live show early Sunday morning we all couldn't wait to watch it later that night again to see what we missed the first time around...if anything that move by them would've probably increased viewers in volumes because of people talking to others about it during that day... whoever thought that little trick up should've got a pay rise...

...after all... 'word-of-mouth' is the best publicity of all as they say... I will be shocked if they don't continue to do it again... who knows?... not confirming that they will or won't would be generating lots of tongues wagging on whether they will or not... the more people wondering and talking about it the more publicity yet again eh?... that's my theory anyway... if I was programming the ABC I would be doing just that... then again that may just be the way I think lol!... let's all hope eh?... cheers.
 
Yes, I believe you are correct @Mr Stickyfingers - ABC are subtly teasing, they were getting over 500,000 viewers sunday am.

ABC have been cleverly adjusting how DW is broadcast over the last few years.
Before Game of Thrones, and the early days of NUWHO (ie 2005 reboot), Doctor Who was the most downloaded and pirated show.

Because they made us wait too long for the series, 3-6 months, so everybody learnt how to use bit-torrent :)

So, ABC know Whovians are enthusiastic, loyal, fervent fans - and they switched things up & stopped the waiting crap.
Got to love a broadcaster that listens.
 
I enjoyed that clip @Mr Stickyfingers
Hadn't seen that episode. Unlike most comedy, they actually got the references and pronunciation right.

...jeez I wish I had a Tardis Meglos... my darling wife will not allow me to do the same as they did so I'm limited to have a few Doctor Who knicknacks I'm afraid lol!... this is my range of Whoniverse things that I have...
