Happy New Year!

Posted 1 January 2009 in by Catriona

Of course, the blog itself isn’t a year old until February, but thank you all for your reading and assiduous commenting in 2008.

I don’t have any exciting plans for 2009 yet, but I will be live-blogging the most recent Doctor Who Christmas special when the ABC airs it in a month, and I’m thinking of live-blogging the previous three seasons of Doctor Who after that. Or at least starting on it before teaching starts.

What say you all? Fancy talking about the first three seasons of Doctor Who?

We can’t talk about them now if you’re going to liveblog them, can we? We might run out of things to say.

So funny, as i was watching the 4th season today there was an episode that i wanted to read your liveblogging of. Of course my comment would be far more interesting if i could remember the episode we were watching :) id be reading if you did the previous seasons xx

We absolutely cannot talk about them in advance of the live-blogging! If I’m live-blogging three seasons of Doctor Who, I want everyone to save up their pithy comments for after/during the blogging.

It’s like a drug.

Hang on . . . you were picking on my syntax again, weren’t you?

No, I misunderstood you — I read your last line as a query re comments for this post rather than a more general query re future activity on the blog.

Ah!

Well, we can chalk that up to poor or ambiguous syntax.

If you live blog the old eps though you’ll need to let everyone know when you start so we can all watch in sync.

Yes: I’ll do them at the same time on the same day every week, just like the televised episodes. Probably Sunday nights, too.

But people tended to read the live-blogging after watching the new episodes a fair amount of the time, so it won’t be vital for people to watch as they read, really.
