I can't find anything about when the Christmas episode will be playing in the US so I probably will watch it sometime in January, or whenever BBC America gets around to airing it! And if I can't wait that long, I will watch it online.

My partner and I will be watching it together once all the food and drink has been consumed and we are pigged out on the sofa. The phone will be muted, the doors locked, and we will be set. Doctor Who really has become a huge part of christmas for me. I love the specials, even if I dont always love them. If you get me?

I think I have had enough. Might not watch anymore, It hurts, but tonights Merlin was darker and better written than all of series 5 IMO

The Doctor: Do you know like we were saying, about the earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid, the first time they tell you that the world is turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it.

I don't really know. I don't know where I'll be this Christmas or even if I'll be able to watch it. :''(

You need to get yourself a widescreen TV and find yourself somewhere quiet to watch it in peace

If I'm spending xmas with my Aunt and Uncle, then I'll be watching it The whole family sits round the TV and watches it (even the ones who HATE Doctor Who) If Im at my dads, It's unlikely I'll watch it. "Christmas is family time. Not TV time...blahblah"

I have been told today to expect one of my neices, who is 4, for the evening so I think I am going to have to watch on a delay. I have about 6 weeks to try and find a way around/out of this!!

The 3 year old I teach is only just starting to settle down to watch TV, but only if it's something he's interested in already, not if it's something new. There's no way I'd watch a new ep of Who with him in the room so I can relate, sorry Peri

One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.

I'm hoping I can get rid of my brother and his brood by the time it starts. I love having them over but this is a one day a year deal. Perhaps I will tell them I will go over there instead and then leave by half 5. That should cover me hopefully

I will be curled up on the sofa with chocolates and Baileys with the fire going and the christmas lights flashing. Other than that it will be dark I will also be alone with the phone turned off. Should be a good one

I feel duty bound to return to this thread and reinforce that a fundamentalist approach is the only way to ensure silence and complicity during the Xmas special. This year I have asked for a snipers rifle for Xmas so i can pick off any potential visitors (I know i will not get it and will have to be satisfied with Joop pour Homme and some of those scrummy sea shell pralines).
This year I am not going to rely on 'hope' or 'asking'. I have decided to impose domestic martial law. Therefore the following conditions will be imposed in my house on December 25th.
1. All landings and corridors must be kept clear between the hours of 6:30pm and 8:30pm 2. Meetings of more than two people are prohibited 3. No unauthorised person to have the remote control 4. All children to be housed in detention camps in the kitchen. There will be no appellate provision for this and no exceptions. Doctor Who is a children's show therefore they can watch it on iPlayer later on. 5. All domestic telephone line and mobile communications devices to be disabled between 6:30pm and 8:30pm
I am a genuinely nice man who is forced into desperate acts to protect his one treat of the year. The same rules will apply when the Neil Gaiman episode reaches our screen.
Once again, a Very Merry Christmas one and all

Chris you should have been in the army, running a tight ship like that So what about guests bearing gifts? Box of After Eights maybe? Or a pack of 24 assorted Monster Munch? Figgy Pudding? Where do these people stand? Surely it's a torn commitment What is figgy pudding? Lol

Where do these people stand? Surely it's a torn commitment What is figgy pudding? Lol A reasonable question Peri, however, I'm afraid the rules are pretty rigid. If people want to leave gifts then they are free to leave them beside my little bushes at the front door and I will collect them after Confidential has finished. The doorbell will have a small electric charge running through it so as to deter the more persistent visitor. I do not want anybody, repeat anybody bringing Figgy Pudding. I do not know what Figgy Pudding is.
