I haven't seen Doomsday yet, so the majority of you know how the cliffhanger into this episode goes, but will there be any 'Christmas Theme' within this episode at all?
If there isn't, you might as well call it a 14 episode season and just make it the first proper episode of the 2007 season.

Christmas theme? Doubtful IMO.

I have a baaaad feeling about this one. Already ? All we've seen is about fifteen seconds of the intro and heard what the title will be, how can you draw a conclusion about it? We've no idea what the plot will be or the tone of the episode, you can't really judge by one little promo clip what the rest of the episode will turn out like. The title might be a bit obscure but there have been many in the new series people have criticised, despite the fact they have turned out to be brilliant episodes. So surely there's no need to start turning away from the episode and getting a reputation when there's minimal evidence to look upon. Okay it's only a bad feeling about it you have, you're not exactly slagging the episode off entirely, but what makes you say you have a bad feeling about it when we've seen so very little of it?

2 reasons why johnlumicdavros is right to have a bad feeling about this one. i) It has Catherine Tate in it. ii) RTD is writing it.

As I've said before Catherine is actually a very accomplished actress, not just a comedy performer, and not every RTD script is truly awful. It's all a matter of opinion of course, but at least wait to see more before letting the accusations and dismissals start to fly.

I`ll give her the benefit of the doubt as I gave Billie Piper and Chris Ecclestone but I too have a bad feeling about this. And Adolf Hitler was an accomplished painter but I still wouldn`t get him round to do my portrait. And from what little I saw of her in the the last few moments is anything to go by I don`t know how she got a rep as a decent actress.

amen! i swear i under the need for being skepital, but is there a need to be so critical of something BEFORE it comes out. The ending had me laughing, don't know squat about the actress, just like light hearted comedy and thats the teaser I saw with Tennant going What?!? several times.

I`m sceptical because she`s a crappy comedian who`s shows have flopped lower than whale poop and the bbc have bought her from channel 4 and are now giving her a guest spot on Doctor who hoping that it`ll create an interest and enlarge her audience of two on her own show when a guest star is supposed to increase and generate interest on the show she`s guest starring on

be that as it may, you haven't seen the story yet, you don't know what shes going to do, and have no idea how the story might work for the actors. there's negativity and then there's simply being anal.

There's no point in dismissing the episode already but it's far better than getting our hopes up about it.

Just seems to be a pervading attitude of fans to say its gonna suck without any actual idea of anything about it before it comes out, I can say I haven't had too many issues with this season, a few misfires but nothing that still didnt have some redeeming values, and I'm remaining optimistic about the future of the show.

I`m not commenting on the story though am I? No one here has said they think it`ll be bad because they think the story`s going to be bad. I seem to remember an earlier post about the glamour model Jordan had appeared in the papers wanting a part in the series. If she got it should we give her the same break? Or perhaps if RTD gets the sack and they hire crap movie extradinair Uwe Boll to take his place should we also give him the same benefit? I don`t like her, she`s not funny, she`s not talented. But thats my opinions and I`m not enforcing it on anyone just voicing it so please don`t tell me I`m anal because I have an opinion.
