The problem with Children In Need...

[gothams3rdrobin]

...is that when they break off into the regional reports, they don't all keep to the same timetable. So while you start off watching the events at BBC Television Centre, London, when they break off to, say, Wales, there's a good chance they won't pass back to the main events in time to catch something you might be waiting for. I've missed out on things like the Eastenders Special, or the Newsreaders doing their annual song and dance, because BBC Wales were showing us a concert going on in Wrexham! *sighs*

Now, with Cable, there's an option to watch BBC England, BBC Wales, BBC Scotland and even BBC Ireland, so we can always watch BBC England and just see the London events. Normally this works fine - but this year they have John Barrowman and Gethin Jones hosting the Welsh events from the Millenium Centre!

My parents don't want to miss anything at Television Centre, so guess which channel we're watching...

Le sigh

I can't even plead with them to turn it back, 'cause they don't like John.

Ah well - the Doctor Who special is on. 'Least I haven't missed that!

EDT: Oooookay...the Christmas special should be interesting this year!

It's very short, and I think they're just screwing with our heads, but it's fun.

YES!
You know I think I'd rather like Morrisey to take over now :)
Some people have said he's to ott and too like ten to be 11 but I have a theroy for that!

Want to hear it?

Sure! I'm not sold, personally - that intro was too smarmy even for the Doctor, imo.

True he was VERY smarmy.

But it's Victorian era adventure right? Well what if 11 is trying to keep under the newly formed TW's radar by pretending to be 10 a pre Tooth And Claw 10? So they can't bother him or else *poof* no TW!

Hmmm...I see your train of thought there. That's certainly an interesting idea! :-)
