h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There's a few bits and bobs up on Youtube including an extended trailer that was shown at a US Convention ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3EmeMCm_eI

Looking at the Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Christmas_special_(Doctor_Who)

There are some interesting comments:
- The title of this episode has not been revealed, but Russell T Davies has confirmed in Doctor Who Magazine that the title is three words long and is a "giveaway" and that "The Return of the Cybermen" seen in the teaser trailer was merely "a tag-line".
- the introduction of a "Cybershade"

Link to a Daily Telegraph article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2473376/Doctor-Who-to-be-challenged-by-new-Cyberman-enemy.html

A givaway title... probably something like "Cybermen at Christmas"

It's so exciting!!!!

Sqqquuueeee!!! Now that sumer is over that means we can start the countdown to the Christmas Invasion.

I'm with Not panicing yet - excited!!!!

I've had to recruit someone with a DVD recorder to record it for me. So I'll have to wait to see it till the lovely recording-person has a chance to mail it over.

It's only 112 days away!!!

That number makes it feel further away

But they are gonna re-run the rest of them this Autmn

Cybermen gone bad?
Ooh, cripes!

"Cybermen gone bad" which would mean?

They're trying to downgrade the universe? Trying to get them all to get in touch with their feelings and inner children?

Damn ... smiley was meant to go at end to indicate a none-too-serious pondering ...

Was just wondering if Cybermen were to go bad, what's that make them now??

misguided, same as Daleks

Misguided?? Well that's one way of putting it. Though they don't hang around long enough to become "guided".

Most of these "monsters" (i.e. Daleks and Cybermen) just have a world veiw that is the exact opposite of the rest of the universe. They are just doing what they thing is right

(when I woke up this morning I did NOT think i'd be morraly defending a Dalek)

Have a stiff drink jozcoz, you'll get over it soon

Did you sleep ok the night before??? Hope the helps.

Rumour has it that David Morrisey's character is going to play the future Doctor! (I assume that means the Doctor from the future but who knows?)

Trouble is as soon as somebody says "I'm the Doctor" people go and take it all literally! He might just be a.

Yeah, he could just be a medic, like Richard Wilson's character.
