Just a Bit of Fun...
As we hurtle towards New Earth I thought I'd run a little sweep-stake...
Here are 10 questions about the next season. The person who gets the most correct answers (or is the closest) will win something extraordinary. And as soon as I work out what that is you'll be the first to know.
This thread will be closed on Saturday at 7pm so no late entries!
1) How many *overnight* viewers will New Earth get?
2) Will the 10th Doctor have a catchphrase? Extra points if you can guess what it might be.
3) How many episodes will The Face of Boe appear in?
4) Approximately, how many times will the word Torchwood be uttered?
5) How will Babs Windsor appear in a "clever way"?
6) Which episodes will get the lowest and highest viewing figures?
7) Cyberman cover for the Radio Times - yes or no?
8) Middle Eight - yes or no?
9) K9's first words?
10) How many times will the Doctor kiss (or be kissed) in this season?
We'll revisit you answers at the end of the season. Good luck!
And my answers:
1. 7.89 million
2. Yes and it'll be "Crikey..."
3. Three
4. 49 times
5. She'll appear as a hologram in a museum
6. New Earth - highest, Army of Ghosts - lowest
7. No.
8. Yes.
9. "Affirmative, Mistress"

I've just decided on a prize:
The winner can have a choice between:
a) Remote controlled K9 with 10th Doctor toy
b) Copy of About Time 1 (the best DW reference work ever)
...depending on how sad you are...
PLUS - a signed photo of Mary Tamm
And second place (if we get more than 10 entries, that is) will get an autographed photo of Frank 'Z Cars' Windsor
All to play for....

I've just bought every available volume of "About Time" on the recommendation of two other DW denizens, and now you back it up. I don't have to feel guilty about not feeding my cat this month now.
But...where the hell did you get those signed photos? Are you some kind of crazy alchemist?
