    It was even cringier than the Children in Need bit last year. That's no mean feat.

    *Dawning horror that Chibnall has two episodes this coming series*

    I wonder what happened that made them have to invent a rule about the bedroom...? :eek:

    Today's (can't embed it here) was okay. Very very lightweight and Karen's wig seems to be taking over her entire head.

    Awesome youtube comment on part 3:
    Demons run when Ood is on the loo.
    Night will fall and drown the sun
    When Ood is on the loo.
    Demons run, but count the cost
    The battle's won, but the poo is lost

    Seems rather pointless but with Moffat in charge, you never can be sure, can you?


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,815 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Ah... they're just fun little "webisodes" to tie fans over / gears fans up.

    It's safe to say they'll have no tie-in to what'll be aired in the upcoming season.

    Sorry, I meant webisode 3. I can see the tie in to Series 3 in the second one and the first seemed more of an "introduce the concept", I fail to see the purpose of no. 3 besides "ooh, an Ood on the toilet - ha ha ha"...

    Then again, my 6 year old would love it and this will be his first season of watching Dr Who with me! :)

    Not everything funny with Moffat has to be some lead in to some humungous plot reference.

    I don't think, for example, we're going to see a mid twenties Stormaggedon show up later angry the Doctor didn't clean his nappy or something...

    Haha, a little too much analysis though, no? Only caught the first 3 today & they just seem like little slices of the Ponds' domestic life, such as it is. Just a primer for Saturday's fun and games :D

    That said, I think if there is any form of masterplan, it's all probably to remind the audience & fans how much we've come to love the Ponds (well, most of us anyway) and how charming their idiosyncrasies are. All to make their departure that more heart-rending.

    Just saw this. It's not today's webisode, but it's the two EPs talking about the 'Pond Life' webisodes (much like how we saw the actors talking about it BaconZombie's post).

    What interests me is how they talk about these '5 episodes' being so emotional for Amy & Rory. I know Amy & Rory are leaving, but I take it that means they're leaving in the 5th episode? Or was that already common knowledge? Also, it looks like we'll see Rory's Dad too... :)

    And here's the 5th and final one. As expected, this one is darker, setting up the new season for us...
