Doctor Who

[Ravenfire]

David Tenant has been announced as the new Doctor Who and will take over from Christopher Eccleston.

Do you think that Dr Who is suitable for younger children to watch? There has been talk that the new series is too scary and at one point the BBC put a warning on their website, only to take it down and say they hadnt meant to!

[angel1980]

It is quite scary but then the old ones i used to think were scary, ds is fine watching them, he's fascinated and is always asking questions about it that i can't answer!!

[JENNY1979]

I haven't watched TBH, so i wouldn't know weather or not it was scary for children. I prefer to watch Ant & Dec !! :P

[Netty]

I heard that the BBC has had lots of complaints about it - I think it is ok for family viewing. Ds is nearly 6 and loves it - says he isn't scared, but I'm not so sure, lol!

DD watches some of it, but loses interest very quickly! (I tend to watch it in our bedroom with her - and she would rather me read a book to her, but I'm quite hooked on it now!

Think the BBC response was that it was intended for around age 8+ to watch together with their parents.

My 2 have enjoyed it,don't think Kieran is scared at all.

After being told it was time for bed Tasha told him that it was Dr Who tomorrow and if he goes to sleep it would be on sooner.

[Netty]

My ds is really into Dr Who now - he recites all of the trailer "do you wanna come with me ...." word for word (including the echo bit!)

He can't wait for this week's with the Daleks!!

If anyone else has addicts (other halves or children) - try looking at the Who is Dr Who? (http://www.whoisdoctorwho.co.uk/) website.

As mentioned on the last episode, you can access UNIT and launch missiles if you want to!!

Not had chance to watch it yet,so I can't really comment.

[angel1980]

[Netty]

Hope L enjoys that site, Angel

(dh blew up America last night ....... - he was only aiming for one person in that large White building though ... honest!!!!)

[sanjan]

I've seen bits of it as I usually forget it is on but liked the website

[Ravenfire]

Dont forget its the Daleks tonight!! I'll be watching the other side though..lol..celebrity wrestling :clapping:

[angel1980]

Oooo my dad's taped this for me to watch tomorrow!

[Girlzmum]

Watched this for the first time last night - madam clapped every time the Dalek killed anyone! Getting really worried about her...

[Netty]

Actually, I felt a bit sorry for the dalek! :sign07:

If you want to be a dalek - try this game!

Dr Who games (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/games/lastdalek/index.htm)

(Don't ask me how to play it, ds is the expert!!!)

[Netty]

Remember when the dalek downloaded the internet? lol - well now you can try it too!

[Netty]

Dr Who night again tonight, lol! :party05:

Anyone else still watching it? Ds :wub: it! (so does dh) Dd not keen really so I usually try and watch it upstairs while getting her ready for bed, and she wants me to play with her, or read her hundreds of books, lol.

On the Dr Who website (see above links) the UNIT password has been changed ...

Probably will learn more in tonights episode, but try BADWOLF and see what happens ....

[Macaroni]

The kids love it !! DD was driving me mad last weekend saying 'are you my Mummy?' over and over and over again !!

[linasi]

My 7 year old DS and hubby love it. I like it, but I wouldn't go so far to say that I love it. We have every episode so far still stored in Sky Plus.. heaven help anyone who accidentally records over one of them :unsure:

..my son keeps watching them over and over

...and now Billie Piper is leaving next series too :angry:

..they really should throw more money at these people to make them stay

:angry:

[Netty]

lol Toni my two keep doing that too .......


"muuumy, are you my muumy?"

Tried saying "No" but they still keep on!

[Netty]

We have every episode so far still stored in Sky Plus..

That's a good idea, but we haven't got sky! (Do have cable tho')

Think dh will want the boxed set on dvd for Christmas!
