Doctor Who Series 10

[danny la rouge]

Hard to tell. Tune in from about 3:45 and you won't miss it. Might have to sit through a load of tennis though

Christ.

If I give you my mobile number will you text me?

 

[danny la rouge]

When it finishes

I dont think that's a very good system. In fact it doesn't seem worthy of the word "system" at all.

It could go on for three days. I'd imagine they'd make the reveal in one of the overnight breaks in play, in that case.

 

[D'wards]

No worries. Pm it over
I'll text when the tennis is won, to give you warning, and will probably be about 10-30 minutes after that, following the award giving and interviews etc

Really? I thought that was cricket!

Why? Why would they do this?

 

[belboid]

It's officially down to be 6.30, btw

 

[belboid]

Because if no one has won....no one has won. I take it the names/phrase Isner-Mahut means nothing to you.

 

[belboid]

Looks like being just after four, at this rate.

No, that means nothing to me. I take it that's who is playing, though. Well I hope they have a lovely time. Im not blaming them, I blame the BBC for this ludicrously inexact scheduling decision. This is Dr Who after all, not something trivial.

No, Mr Roger Federer (aka the greatest tennis player of all time, easy) and Mr Someotherbloke are playing today. Isner-Mahut was the longest game ever played - nearly twelve hours, over three days. It's legendary, even though it was largely tedious to watch.

Looking like it's going to be about 3.30 now...

Cool! I was just about to check my guttering for leaves and gunk. Maybe I'll put that off, then.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

is there a scheduled time for the announcement to tune into?

 

[belboid]

I think 13 is warming up in her changing room right now

 

[belboid]

Well, that match is over. I suspect they'll show some of the Mixed Doubles final before the announcement- which will be at 6.15.

There'll be riots if they make people (me) sit through two hours of mixed doubles...

 

[D'wards]

Should be soon now

Too right !

Plus my gutters have been abandoned now, so if I get damp I'm blaming the tennis!

 

[Plumdaff]

I keep expecting Sue Ryder to say "And now.....the Doctor!"

 

[Wilf]

I think 13 is warming up in her changing room right now

Men's or women's changing rooms?

 

[Wilf]

What's the best way to protest if it's that Kris Whatsit? Take a dump in a policebox?

 

[belboid]

Men's or women's changing rooms?

What does the word 'her' generally imply?

 

[danny la rouge]

 

[kabbes]

Jodie Whittaker it is

 

[Vintage Paw]

omfg

Told you the hints were there.

 

[belboid]

Good choice. Hopefully.

 

[danny la rouge]

Was that it? I sat through all that sport for that little clip? FFS!

I want MOAR!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I think Twitter is about to explode.

 

[kittyP]

Jodie Whitaker is far too blah imho.
Was really hoping for Maxine Peak

 

[Bungle73]

Oh ffs, How stupid.

 

[Vintage Paw]

I think Twitter is about to explode.

You're a bit late. The BBC's announcement tweet had a couple of thousand retweets before I'd even stopped squeeing.
