John Barrowman's new show, Tonight's the Night will also be shown that day.

There's also rumors flying around that a trailer for PoTD will be shown on BBC One tonight. *crosses fingers*

EDIT: And now it's gone! WTH, BBC? *runs to check the twitter of TPTB*

From the twitter: The final airdate and time slot will be confirmed when the listings are sent to magazines at the end of next week. *headdesk*

Oh, did the bitching get loud enough that they rolled it to Saturday? Huzzah!

I just hope it doesn't mean it'll be airing at some absurd time, given what else is meant to fit on the schedule with it.

Was there bitching? O_0

Just glancing at what else is airing - it looks like it'll have the 7pm slot, but that's just a guess on my part.

It was originally on Saturday, and then they moved it to Sunday (presumably to keep it away from Primeval), which is still a major family/religious holiday in many quarters. There were complaints—quite possibly from the production team, as there is almost always a ratings hit when they move it away from its home at 7.00 on Saturday.

Hrm. I suppose the BBC assumed they'd get the captive audience type of ratings that they see with the Christmas Special if they aired it on Easter itself? Regardless, I'm glad it's been shifted back to Saturday.

I was going to say! I just saw this on your LJ as well.

XD; I just keep an eye on both of you for air dates. :3 Makes it easiest! <3

Thanks, BOTH of you. :3

*is kinda wary of spoilers and not. :3* I'm avoiding the articles. :3

It's just a summary blurb, but does have spoilers in the synopsis. Best to avoid, unless you're horrid like me. *grins*

*Sigh*

So jealous of anyone who actually gets to watch this.
...

And of anyone with a highspeed internet connection.

*Fires of another letter to local MP*

Don't worry - it'll be distributed to the Tubes of Ewe eventually.

Can't wait!!

By the way, (puts sad spaniel eyes on) haven't we missed a Wednesday?? (hopeful grin)

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Did you miss the fleet of ducks?

[lucyd3.livejournal.com]

Yes I had missed that - cute!!

I know, it's brilliant isn't it!! On the DWF it alternates between that and his face, but I couldn't make LJ do it!
