Doctor Who ... guest starring Graham Norton (again)?

[daibhidc]

This is interesting. I've noticed several online reactions I've seen to "The Time of Angels" mention that the BBC saw fit, due to complete insanity, to have an animated Graham Norton telling us that his Wizard Of Oz thing was on next during the cliffhanger, in case we'd missed the trailer immediately before DW, and the suspense of waiting two more minutes to find out what the next programme was killed us.

And I thought it was weird that I hadn't noticed this. I attributed it to having been distracted by explaining what was going on to my neice.

But I've just watched it again; we used our new Sky Plus box to record it for my sister, who was away on a course this weekend. And the reason I didn't notice it is it's not there.

I can only assume that this was due to a sudden bout of sanity at BBC Scotland.

Wales and Scotland didn't inflict it on the viewers. Those of us in Anglo-Saxon territory were not so lucky. The Trailer before, the voiceover during the end credits, and the animated banner right over the Doctor's mouth during the climactic speech.

I have, for the first time in ten years, and only the second time in my life, made a formal complaint to the BBC. (Last time was in 2000 when they screwed over the Blake's 7 fans by repeating the first season but not bothering to show the final episode of the season.)
