More Doctor Who Christmas thoughts

[selenay]

So, TV here won't be airing A Christmas Carol on Christmas Day.

Instead, they're airing it on Boxing Day.

The the one hand, grr argh!

On the other hand, Space is airing all the specials in a massive marathon on Boxing Day culminating in A Christmas Carol at 10pm AST (9pm EST). Most importantly, A Christmas Carol is scheduled for 90 minutes so they'll be showing it uncut.

W00t!

I shall be able to legally watch it uncut only 24 hours after my UK friends and family. Whether I 'acquire' it on Christmas Day will depend entirely on how long I spent at my aunt's that day. But it's not quite so urgent as it usually is to get my paws on it. Yay!

But A Christmas Carol is only an hour here. So the 90 minute version must either have some extras in it, or maybe includes a cut-down Confidential or something?

[selenay]

It may well include a few bits (intros etc.) at the beginning and end. It will also be very well padded with ads, I suspect :-(

Oh, I completely forgot about adverts. That's annoying.
