Dr Who - Lack of Continuity

There I was, looking at the listing for Friday, 11 April and thinking "Oh good, two episodes of Dr Who, back to back with the first episode being 'Bad Wolf'". My grand-daughter (aged 7 but has been a doctor who fan since 1962!) saw that it was this episode, "And then it's 'Parting of the Ways'", she says.

Well, it would be normally, but not in UKTV Gold's run of episodes, it's episode one of series 2 of the new era!

The end of "Bad Wolf" leaves the viewer on a cliffhanger, which is solved in the "Parting of the Ways", but you just leave it dangling!

Is there some strange copyright reason for this? Confused

I know I have poor eyesight, but I can't see a link for DrWho. Do UKTVGold show it or has it been got by the new-style Cybermen and has been "DELETED"?

Now, now GG - you make it sound as if the programming is all completely random, it's much more organised than that and involves the use of a dart board, a set of darts.................soopah!

Very normal! My brother in law met a bloke down the pub, who says that his mate is a window cleaner at UK Gold Towers. He said that he was cleaning the windows when they were having a meeting about future shows. It went like this...

1st young chap in a trendy suit: Soopah!
2nd young chap in a trendy suit: Wonderful
Director: Right where's that computer chappie?
1st young chap in a trendy suit: I'm afwaid he's gone to PC World
Director: Well it looks like we will have to improvise (again)..give me those 3 brandy balloons
1st young chap in a trendy suit: Soopah!
2nd young chap in a trendy suit: Wonderful
Director: Right balloon glass one has the TV shows, number two has the times and 3 has the the episodes.
1st young chap in a trendy suit: Soopah!
2nd young chap in a trendy suit: Wonderful
Director: The first one is Dr Who, at 6.30am and it's episode 4..next

Hello UKtv Gold - Get your act together - I too was waiting to see the following episode to Bad Wolf - I can't believe something like a tv station that can't be bothered to get things right.
