    Not here. When I checked the BBCA "full" schedule (not the actual TV channel), it was showing reruns of previous eps. That was all day yesterday into midnight.

    So, since we were having a hurricane, and I was sick from migraines and nausea (bad ginger ale did the final deed), I never turned the Tv on, and just went straight to my pillow. Never bothered recording (DVR) because I didn't know what time to record.

    Anywho.. just found out from the BBCA, the following info----
    Doctor Who Encores

    Tuesday, August 30th at 12am EST
    (Monday Night)

    If Hurricane Irene keeps you from watching the midseason premiere of Doctor Who, "Let's Kill Hitler" and the "Doctor Who: Best of the Companions" special will re-air Tuesday.
    (that's Monday pm night at midnight into Tuesday am)

    nah, I don't think I'll stay up that late, but will see if we can DVR it to watch later in the week (next Sunday, instead, maybe).

      The Doctor being a war criminal ... Never.....

      The Silence, Kovarian, and company are just telling porkies.

      Although in the old series we are never fully told either why the Doctor ran away from Galifrey and took the TARDIS.... It's something open to debate. I hope they don't ruin things.

          I'm going to have to give this episode, a great big meh.

          I loved parts of it, namely parts with Mels/River. I love when she flirts with 11.
          I appreciated the tiny gestures many have noticed, including the diary.

          On the other hand, the alien of the week was horrific. They find historical despical people and torture them for who knows how long because it is their right. No one, not even the doctor says much about this? Not ok.

          The tux means that the Doctor will probably have to interact with himself at Amy's wedding again, but I'm getting really tired of the Fez, suit jackets, tuxes, and Flesh doctors. Just tell a good story, not a convolutted one.

          So the doctor can't save River at this moment but Mels can be by Amy growing up. Ok, but it was presented that this is as good as returning the child to her mother. That is so not ok.

          Thankfully, the episode had a few laughs. But on the rewatch, it was even boring. A 7/10 at best.

            So to me its not so much the meal of fish fingers and custard itself that brought the Doctor back, but more the memory that went with it that kept him fighting on.
            That's how I saw it. Something grounded, physical and a key part of the relationship with Amy (c.f. her "trust me" on fish/custard in "Rebel Flesh)

                I loved these lines:

                Adolf Hitler: Thank you. Whoever you are. I think you have just saved my life.
                The Doctor: Believe me. It was an accident.

                Amy: I don't understand, okay? One minute she's going to marry you and then she's going to kill you.
                The Doctor: Well she's been brainwashed. It all makes sense to her. Plus, she's a woman. Oh shut up, I'm dying!

                    My one minor niggle, was that Hitler was using a revolver.

                    Strictly speaking, he should've had either a Luger or a Walther P-38. Preferably the latter, as the Lugers were rather prone to going off in your face if you so much as sneezed on them.

                      a few problems:

                      1) Wait, so we only get one episode of River being evil? I call BS on that one. Seriously. the ENTIRE river-kills-doctor threat (with alex kingston anyway) was resolved in one episode? That seriously pisses me off.

                      2) Childhood Amy is more important to the Doctor, and liked more, Than IDRIS/the TARDIS itself? Really Moffat? I know you've got a thing for red-headed strippers, but...c'mon.

                      3) Why doesn't Rory have a Sonic Cane?

                      3b) Rory knows how to use the Sonic, as demonstrated in the previous episode. Why is he inept at it now?

                      4) Humans...never got Time Travel technology. Period. That was the whole point of the "Year that never was" arc. Incongruity annoys me when its like this.

                      5) If the TARDIS could mind-meld and talk to people, as she did with River....what the hell (censoring myself) is the reason for it not doing so with the Doctor, if for no reason other than to teach him how to park.

                      6) The question is obviously "what is your name?", just as clearly as river=amy's daughter was.

                        2) the doctor asked for someone he hadn't screwed up. being IDRIS would only remind the doctor that she died and that he would never be able to talk to the TARDIS again.

                        4) was that the point of "The year that never was"? what about the time agency and Jack? what about River? what about the fact time travel can be purchased on the black market in the 52nd century???

                          I loved this episode! I can see it becoming one of my favorites! River song is awesome, definitely one of my favorites. My eyes were glued the whole time, Alex Kingston did a excellent job. Mels was quite awesome as well.

                          So good to have The Doctor back!

                            We may yet have more River-as-Evil, just not with A.K.

                            3) Why doesn't Rory have a Sonic Cane?
                            3b) Rory knows how to use the Sonic, as demonstrated in the previous episode. Why is he inept at it now?
                            Is there a reason he should have a sonic cane? And when is he shown as being inept?

                            5) If the TARDIS could mind-meld and talk to people, as she did with River....what the hell (censoring myself) is the reason for it not doing so with the Doctor, if for no reason other than to teach him how to park.
                            River is apparently "The child of the TARDIS", maybe the TARDIS can therefore 'mind-meld' with River in ways the TARDIS can't with the Doctor. Or, maybe the TARDIS can 'meld' with the Doctor, but has never felt the need.

                            6) The question is obviously "what is your name?", just as clearly as river=amy's daughter was.
                            This does seem the most obvious solution, yes.

                              Errrr...without seeing the rest of the series, how do you even know she doesn't revert back to being psychopath River?

                              2) Childhood Amy is more important to the Doctor, and liked more, Than IDRIS/the TARDIS itself? Really Moffat? I know you've got a thing for red-headed strippers, but...c'mon.
                              See stargate234's answer above for this.

                              3b) Rory knows how to use the Sonic, as demonstrated in the previous episode. Why is he inept at it now?
                              How do you know that it wasn't the Doctor using the Sonic in the previous episode? All you see is a hand and the flash of a cloak but that doesn't mean that the Doctor wasn't wearing a cloak too on the Cyberman spaceship. Also when going in to get Amy the door opens and Rory is holding the baby and then the Doctor comes in. It could have been the Doctor using the Sonic to get the door open on Demon's Run.

                              4) Humans...never got Time Travel technology. Period. That was the whole point of the "Year that never was" arc. Incongruity annoys me when its like this.
                              Again...see stargatefan234's answer above to this one.

                              5) If the TARDIS could mind-meld and talk to people, as she did with River....what the hell (censoring myself) is the reason for it not doing so with the Doctor, if for no reason other than to teach him how to park.
                              Because only River was conceived in the TARDIS and no-one else was.
