Beowuuf, question: Being from the UK, have you gotten a chance to play any of the Doctor Who Adventure games the BBC has been producing?  I managed to play the first installment but have been unable to play the rest because of the regional IP checker the installer has. (Still working on a way to circumvent it).

I keep seeing them announced and advertised, but haven't gotten into them to play them! I should probably take advantage of UK ISP and do that. Maybe leading up to the christmas special, if they're still available.

This should work if they check before download, if they check during installation I would recommend booting up with you Network Cards disabled and see if maybe they will install, chance are they will give you an error message saying you must be connected to the internet to install, but it's worth a shot.

There in lies the rub.  After successfully downloading with proxy [that's actually the site I used before, but thanks again Joven!] I disabled my network completely but the installer would not go through. It even went so far as to disable the startup on the first chapter that I had previously installed.  So short of dissecting the installer I'm probably going to have to wait for the pay-version.  But all things considered it probably will not be too much. Besides, UK residents have technically already paid for it so I understand the reasons of why it is region-locked.

Sponger!

Then again, the tv licencing people hounded me when I didn't need a licence so I told them to go screw themselves, i then got a licence later when I actually needed one without prompting thank you very much, and now they are hounding me again because apparently the hounding department and the issuing department don't actually talk to each other or something, and the hounding department hound people every few years because god forbid someone doesn't actually watch live tv - they must be some form of lying communist or something.

So I say go for it!

As long as you buy Doctor Who DVD boxed sets.

I'm signing up for nexflix in about two months, and at that point I will completely exhaust every Doctor Who anything they have in stock. It will be great.

You're in luck then.  The Netflix instant play feature has all of the NuWho series (plus specials) and a good majority of ClassicWho episodes as well. I've personally gone through two of the classics episodes so far (The Aztecs [First Doctor] and The Three Doctors [First, Second, and Third Doctors]).

Im getting it on my PS3 and I have been hearing some odd rumors about not everything thats on the online stream being available on the systems, do you know if this is true?  

[BeyondSandrock]

Not that I can tell.  I own a Wii (Did it for Zelda and Mario Kart, yes I'm a bad person) and so far all of the instant play catalog seems to be available to it.  The one issue I've had so far is the lack of a search function on the Wii version (and possibly a video quality issue.  I assume a PS3 or 360 with an HDMI connection will probably get a better picture). Also every title I've pulled up online for the instant queue has always shown up on the Wii and my iphone.

Not as bad as me.(I did it for Pokemon Battle Revolution/Mario Kart)

Wow I just did some research to find out exactly what the tv license is, and well WOW if the US gov't tried to charge $230 a year for tv there would be a riot!

It does however make sense, I mean getting that money brings in billions.

Did some maths.  Roughly $26,409,848,440 if the estimated figures for how many households their are in the US is accurate, also assuming all of them buy one. At the exchange rate from £145 to $229(assuming thats actually accurate)

[beowuuf]

It is, indeed, alot.

Then again, the BBC has no adverts during shows, and no adverts in between shows except for advertising itself. So, you know, it all comes out in the wash really

So....how do you like have a werewolf for a Queen?

What? I'm just curious.

It keeps the other heads of state in line at official functions, if nothing else Doesn't seem to work to keep Prince Philip from doing crazy things, but hey ho!

Do they by chance keep Lon Chaney in reserve as the Queens escort during official functions?

[beowuuf]

Doing that Phantom of the Opera face is possibly less scary than some of the things that Price Philp has done. Next time I bump into the Queen at Sainsbury's I'll mention it
