I saw this on the stage this past summer and it was hilarious. Catherine Tate accidentally getting hooked on a crane and being tossed all over above the stage was screamingly funny and that scene alone was worth the price of admission.

I'm not bovvered.
I love Catherine Tate.

It comes as an encrypted F4V file, playable only on a proprietary desktop player and password protected.

So how do I stream this into a recording program so that I can watch it on TV (I could hook up a laptop to the TV, but that's a pain in the arse)?

Anyone?

Okay, so this is rather nice and all, but I'd *murder* for the possibility to download the Frankenstein production with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller!

I know I'm probably in the minority, but Donna was my favorite companion from Tennant's run. She was the only one who wasn't constantly pining away after the Doctor. That shiat got old fast.

oh god yes, please yes.

they were truly best mates. i love that they kept having to explain they weren't a couple throughout.
she's my favorite and her good-bye definitely broke my heart the worse. :"(

jrshull: I have to play it via your proprietary media player so you can be DRM happy? So, I can't watch it via media tank on my HDTV? And you want ~$17 to allow me the privilege?

No thanks. I'll wait for someone to crack it and post as a .mkv.

That probably won't happen, as none of their other downloads show up in Usenet / IRC / Pirate Bay.

The HD quality on this is amazing. The camera angles (from approximately 8 cameras hidden from the audience all around the theater) are surprisingly good, although they miss one strategic shot where Tennant's hand lands in a tray of white paint (it is blocked by a pillar in the shot, although the audience can see it clearly and it is kind of important to see this as it explains how Tennant suddenly is unknowingly smearing paint on himself).

I want to get the Arthur Miller play with Suchet and Wannamaker, and Morrissey in MacBeth looks tasty as well.

Wish they would have filmed Butley with Dominic West, Betty Blue Eyes with Sarah Lancashire, and Richard III with Kevin Spacey. I would really like to see all of those again.

Pain in the ass player, but if this is the only way I can see these again, so be it. grumble grumble.

Agreed.

I *so* agree. Tate was freakin' awesome.

Sarcastica75: they were truly best mates. i love that they kept having to explain they weren't a couple throughout.

Yeah. Losing Piper was kind of gut-wrenching, but losing Tate was downright depressing. I keep on hoping they somehow bring her back, but somehow her human mind is now able to handle that time lord consciousness.

THAT would be awesome.

PizzaJedi81: Turn Left was, probably, her best episode...both Donna Noble and Catherine Tate.


Bernard Cribbins shined in that one as well. "That's what they called them last time."

I also miss gramps. the thing is, if they do that it would feel too much like a cop-out. i do miss her, though, and i'd love to see her again. start from scratch with 11, and after a few trips start getting flashes and then have to say good-bye again, but this time, not having her memory wiped of the adventures with 11. that made more sense in my head. i'm so sleepy... :(

Or they could have Eleven taking a trip to 2007 or early 2008 for some reason, when she had evolved a bit (i.e., her personality in "Partners in Crime" not the obnoxious ass from "Runaway Bride"), and interacting with both her and Wilfred without revealing who he is.

IMDWalrus: I just checked, and The Waters of Mars and The End of Time are on Netflix. For some reason I've never figured out, the four longer movies are listed separately from the rest of the recent run.

Planet of the Dead isn't up, so you're on your own there.


I wouldn't worry then, Tarl3K. "Planet of the Dead" is a decent episode, but it is quite stand-alone. Skipping it won't hamper your enjoyment of the succeeding episodes.

An old woman prophesies to the Doctor about the knocking (the first allusion to that), and there's a tongue-in-cheek reference back to that episode and the pilot of The Sarah Jane Adventures in "Let's Kill Hitler", but most viewers didn't even catch it (Amy asking Mels, "Who steals a bus?!" -- well, fellow companions Lady Christine de Sousa and Sarah Jane Smith; that's who.)

So go ahead and watch "Waters of Mars", "End of Time" and the 2005-2006 episodes. When Netflix finally ads "Planet of the Dead", you can go back and watch it.

Thank you. I miss the old coot too, being one myself.

We've seen the Doctor work his life-coaching skills on younger people. I'd like to see Gramps pushed into the next level of competence.

Me, too. And maybe he can take just him. He was just so wonderful in those last episodes. I just wanted to hug my screen. :(

"You want to MATE?!"

I *still* spit water out when I see that scene and am, well, drinking water. She's so fantastic. And I love her evolution.

NoiseGoth: As opposed to an analog download.

\subby's an idiot
\\though not as much as the marketing genius behind that one

Subby here. Somebody with "goth" in their nick is calling me an idiot.

Yeah, OK. Whatever.

F**k you.

This is the only way I can relive one of the more memorable nights in my life. I bought the download. You f**kin' bet I did.

Oh yeah, and did I mention: f**k you. Tard.

NeoCortex42: I went ahead and purchased the HD version and downloaded their Desktop Player. When I try to play it, it says it is checking the DRM and then gives me the message:"Unfortunately the playback has failed. You are not authorised to view this production."

Has anybody else encountered this and have any idea how to fix it? I submitted a support ticket, but who knows how long that will take.

They should be pretty good. They have a rep they are earning daily, trying to expand to cover more West End plays, trying to impress dubious theater producers. Oh God, I hope they do well, I really do. I'll spend a small fortune on this site.

I had to download the HD version twice, as the first download failed in the verification process. They have support email and phone listed, although they just moved their offices last week and are still setting up everything.
