i am to understand that the long awaited premiere of doctor who in the US came off as scheduled...but that US tv has done the show a great disservice by cutting the shows to fit in a commercial riddled schedule, and stopping for breaks at all.

you should see this as auntie beeb and russell t davis intended: sans breaks. go buy the dvds from amazon.ca. or, wait til they're available in the us this summer.

tension is lost completely by commercial breaks, and plots are ruined by slicing minutes here and there. God knows what they'll do to captain hotness and the innuendo squad.
