because they keep repeating the same episodes every week.. Like the same 2 often

I wanted to see the series not the same 2 lol Understand now :P

Just an example of what is left of this week:

Quote:

Doctor Who
Thursday, November 19
BBC3
Doctor Who 7.00pm - 7.45pm A young woman receives cryptic messages from the past as she tries to escape terrifying creatures who are hiding in a haunted house. Carey Mulligan guest stars.

Watch
Doctor Who 3.00pm - 4.00pm The Doctor and Rose travel to an alien world where mankind has settled after the destruction of Earth, and encounter an old enemy plotting revenge. David Tennant stars.

Friday, November 20
Watch
Doctor Who 3.00pm - 4.00pm When the court of Louis XV comes under attack from sinister robots, the king's mistress summons the Doctor with the help of a broken clock. Sophia Myles guest stars.

Three different episodes in two days.

Then it starts again, with different episodes on Monday, on BBC Three and Watch. So, hardly the same two episodes every day for a week.

Watched that a few weeks ago on watch..

And the haunted house has been on watch about 6 times now..

What I meant is.. they dont keep up with any series at all.. Just random 2 Ep's every week if not the same Episode they showed the week before

Flyboy · 19-11-2009, 14:03

That's because there have only been fifty-two episodes and a few specials. They can't just produce more because you have seen them all.

BBC Three recently ran the entire New Doctor Who series from, "Rose" to "Journey's End." I believe they are doing the same now, playing an episode a day.

No they show all the episodes, just when you tune in you seem to catch the same ones.

A few weeks ago, now thats hardly the same episode every week is it.

Check this link, Watch are showing Series 2 & 3 on Sat evenings from 8pm. However searching the listings shows they are starting again from series 1 on the 1st Dec at 6pm

Im not talking about that.. I am talking about Instead of showing one episode then the next.. they show the same episode 3 times in 2 weeks..

For example a 1-2 weeks ago I watched the Haunted House, Angels Episode.. and the Next time Dr who was on It was a different episode. Then the next time Dro who was on.. Its the Haunted House.. again

then again on the sunday, I liked it when BBC3 were showing like an episode a day

Sometimes the small digital channels have the same programme in a couple of different slots during the day or week. You may find that, say, they are showing Who on Mondays, Tuesdays and twice on Wednesdays, but that in each of those four slots the show is at a different point in its run. So you could watch Blink (the haunted house episode) on Monday at 7pm, then the next week tune in on Wednesday at 9pm and find that slot has just reached the point when it shows Blink. To follow the series through in the right order you may have to tune in at on the same day each week and at the same time, regardless of how many other days in the week they are screening the show.

The only way to make absolutely sure of how and when a channel is showing a series is to use an online TV guide like Digiguide or Radiotimes and run a search. Read through the results and try to identify any patterns. You should be able to spot whether the show is getting one repeat run in one or more slots, or multiple repeat runs simultaneously and possibly staggered.

Or, as Flyboy has pointed out, wait until BBC Three does another repeat run, they normally start at the beginning and show one a day. And get your DVD recorder ready.

Or as I have edited my post search the listings on the Watch site and you will see they are showing all series and looks to me to be in running order everyday

Also HMV has the boxsets on sale at around £25 per series if you would rather own them. I have them all and means I can watch anytime I want to. Same goes for all the original series Doctor Who DVDs.

Delta Whiskey · 19-11-2009, 15:09

Amazon have the first three box sets much cheaper than HMV.
Series 1 - £13.88, Series Two - £13.88, Series Three - £16.28 & Series 4 - 27.88

Good find DW.

In fact I need to rebuy series 1 as I originally bought the Tardis shaped edition which doesn't fit on my selves.

I'm sorely tempted myself, but then I look at the unopened 42 DVD Babylon 5 box set I bought two years ago...

I have them all but as its so cheap want the series 1 set again just so I have the normal case. Is that daft, lol.

Wow bet that set you back a bit.

I watched the trailer again for the End of Time, so can't wait till Christmas

I fully understand the need to have all the box sets in the same style packaging.

I see that Amazon have the Complete Doctor Who - Series 1-4 for £58.48.

The B5 boxset was around £100 at the time, it was down to £60 this summer. Currently £62.98 including The Lost Tales.
