FINALLY!
We have a release date.

For the few Merkins interested (and hopefully anyone who watches it for the first time and comes to this thread) we are getting it AFTER you, so no spoilers please.

Thursday 14.07.11

The BBC have acted shamefully imho.
Starz have amazing trailers and have been advertising it and the release date for MONTHS. The most recent one is region specific, and that has me champing at the bit as I can't even watch it on YouTube - grrrrrr!

The Beeb have a nothingy trailer (a countdown against a blank screen!!!!) and have only told people when they can watch it two weeks in advance. Would they have done that with Dr Who? With a costume drama? With an American import? NO.

Am I biased?
Hell, yes.
Am I right?
Errrrm.... Maybe? It does seem a throw away of money not to promote something on BBC1.
