Astral Admin - Mwahahaha!
I have to dive away at the end when they almost instantly cut to practically the whole next episode as a teaser spoiler tho. Whats with that ? Does any extra viewers tune in because they saw those few seconds and is it worth the spoiling for the millions of those who have already committed to watching it anyway ? Surely the number ratio doesn't make it a good idea. In the old days when we usually had 4 episodes per story I don't recall any teasers. I think they would have cut it just *before* he states/shows what he's going to do to fix the situation on the cliffhanger too.
They've been doing it since the reboot with Christopher Eccelston, and yes, it is incredibly annoying. The first one they did it with was with the slitheen, and the end of the episode shows the doctor and everyone being electrocuted. Oh no! Then the next week trailer shows everything just hunky dory and no more worries. Doh! When will programme planners get with the, uh, programme? Cliff hangers GOOD, encouraging people to tune in next week. Eastenders doesn't end with a cliffhanger then show you how it gets resolved in the teaser for the next episode, does it?
Also, what on earth was with the talent show ident coming up animated over the closing seconds of the Doctors dramatic shouting? Gah! This is supposed to be the BBC, not some trashy third rate digital channel!
Oh, I feel so ranty!
