THE SPOILSPORTS over at the official BBC Doctor Who website have said that the special sneak preview of the Christmas special shown during Children in Need tonight won’t be put online.
Well sod them, then. I did it for them. It looks pretty good.
UPDATE on Saturday at 8.45 am: Turns out I didn’t need to go to the bother. Hat-tip to Padougy who points out that, despite dire warnings to the contrary, the Beeb did, after all post this on the web themselves (and in HD to boot!). Still, it’s the gesture of defiance that counts, isn’t it?

You needn’t go to the trouble! The Beeb put it here, sans audience noises: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-AW_IFHyUc

You do of course realise that you are breaking any number of copyright laws? If Lord Mandelson gets what he want you are going to be going to jail in the near future and your entire family will be deprived of Internet access.
Go Tom! I just hope that you remember that you are going to jail when the appropriate legislation is put before you in the House.

Does look good. Just watched Waters of Mars on my iPlayer Downloader app, now in full HD
With regards your mac startup problems, take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1892
If you follow all that and still have no joy, methinks a visit to Buchanan Street is in your future…

Yes Tom, you’d better confess to Lord Mandelson. Although I’m not sure he’ll be sympathetic. You may be spending some time in the salt mines, and you’ll have your interweb removed, painfully.

You booger Tom, I hope Mandy gets you for this! I’m not looking…honest, I’m waiting for Christmas, glass in hand, to enjoy…I’m not watching the above clip….I’m not!
Ohhhh bugger!!!!

No it was worth the effort. The beeb have stopped it being shown on YouTube outside the UK. I couldn’t be arsed firing up my UK VPN so this was v. convenient. Cheers.

Glad that you’ll be voting against Lord Mandelson’s legislation then to continue your gesture of defiance in the face of draconian copyright law.

The teaser looked good. I like the Ood. Of course, under Labour,it would become an offense not to.
