Actually, 9/20/2006, but who's keeping track?

Tennant's a GREAT doctor! Reminds me of a young Martin Short.

Sadly, RTD STILL can't write!

I liked the "Arthur Dent" remark.

Are you guys getting to see the "extra scene" that comes before Xmas Invasion? It was broadcast in the UK as part of the Children in Need charity special and deals with the immediate aftermath of the regeneration, before the Tardis crash lands in London at the start of the Xmas Invasion episode (the Doctor going on about having big hair, bad skin and a mole, and Rose accusing him of being a Slitheen in disguise). Maybe it got tacked onto the beginning of Xmas Invasion for broadcasts in the USA? It's only about 5 minutes long, but it'd be a shame if they dropped it as it nicely shows Rose's reactions to the regeneration and the Doctor experiencing his first regeneration problems.

They dropped it. Too bad -- I thought the beginning was a little jarring. Now I know why. Thanks for the summary.

Shame. There's a proper summary of the scene over at Wikipedia that covers everything in a decent level of detail.

Hopefully it will be in the DVD release on Jan 16.

Unfortunately, it was not included. It REALLY should have been, as the Christmas Invasion wasn't anywhere near long enough to fill the 90-minute time slot. Seriously, when they broke for commercials, they didn't come back until, like 6 minutes later!

What I *wanted* them to do was include the last 3-4 minutes of "The Parting Of Ways" followed immediately be the Children In Need 7-minute scene and THEN go into the Christmas Invasion. Instead, we got 6-minute commercial breaks!

It can also easily be found on YouTube.

Oh yeah, so it can. Nice one .
