....because of ****ing football (soccar to the American's among us) It seems Dr Who is facing his greatest enemy yet, the FA Cup semi's between Man U and Watford. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6544729.stm It seens Dr Who is going to be cancelled on Saturday if the game goes into extra time and penalties. I hate football even more now

"A spokeswoman said the programme could not be broadcast after extra time as it would be "too late" for younger fans."
Screw the younger fans, we want our Who.
BBC have more than one channel so you think they'd make some sort of compromise by airing it on BBC2 or BBC3, hell even BBC4. This one of the most annoying things about Sports, they cause the good stuff on TV to be screwed over.
What's got to be worse is the repeating on Sunday won't happen, they'll do the christmas special instead which is pointless.

I'm not quite sure what the fuss is ...
all that'll happen is that it gets delayed a week. You may just have to wait a bit longer to see it. And i'm sure if you can cope with the break between seasons, you'll have the patience to wait an extra week between episodes ... won't you?
I find suggestions of moving it to other channels silly - that would mean that less people overall would see it.
Besides, the BBC has paid a lot of money for both the FA Cup and Dr. Who. It will want the maximum viewing figures for both - there is no way it will just stop showing a match half way through (they'd get lynched), and they'd get lower viewing figures by delaying or moving the episode.I'm not Weird, I'm Gifted!

I'm hooked on Who, but I can wait. And at least we know it isn't going to be on. I can remember one time setting my VCR to record a show, not realizing that (American) football was on before it. I got almost an hour's worth of the game and a bare introduction to the show. Grrrr. That's MUCH more maddening, IMO. Especially since it was the premiere of the show in question.

And to have to have it postponed for poxy football. Ack.
I never usually play any attention to football at all but I guess this week I'll just have to pray to one of the teams (I really don't car which one!) thrashes the pants off the other so that there's no need for extra time or penalties... *sigh*sigpic

i.e. the ep will probably air, but there's a chance it won't.I'm not Weird, I'm Gifted!
