Where is everyone?

[PamA]

I notice that we now have 355 members - that's a lot!! I appreciate some have outgrown the thread or don't post for other reasons but it appears that there are just a handful of people posting these days. So, where are all you new members? Why don't you have your say about the episodes and make this board lively again? Sometimes I can't be bothered to post as I feel like I'm talking to myself!! If the posts increase I will write a new fanfic and that's a promise!!!

Ooooo sorry Pam! I've just not been able to watch the episodes every day as had family backwards and forwards for past 10 days! It's quiet now though . I watched Monday's yesterday and then thought I'd carry straight on and watch yestesday's as I was ironing then realised it didn't record it! It did record on HD at 6.30pm though.

So now I've replied you can start work on your next fan fic - please ! The rest will all come on in dribs and drabs I'm sure ;D.

Didn't really mean you Lara! There are a handful of people who do post fairly regularly but it probably numbers under 10. It just seems a bit strange to have that many members and fewer than .03% are posting!

I often think of a comment after I've watched an ep. but don't post cos no one else does -and then I feel the same as you Pam. I'd love the forum to be as busy as before too.

sorry I havn't been on much have family ilnesses, and my dad died, which has meant going up and down the country.
Now I go on holiday this weekend..I promise to be back on when I get back.

I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty!! PJB I recognise that we all have lives apart from this board and that all sorts of things are happening that are far more important than Doctors. I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you have a good holiday (I'm away the following week). Anyway, PJB, you are one of the more regular posters. What I'm really hoping is to encourage some of the new members to be more active and to bring this board back to life.

Do you think there are good enough characters to get it going as it used to?

I never comment on the episodes anymore as due to work etc tend to sky+ the episodes and watch them at weekend. It's then too late to post.

I understand what you mean though Pam about having so many members and hardly anybody posting.

I think that's a valid point Lp. The cast is definitely less engaging than they have been in the past, but the episodes should spark some interest surely.

Quite simply "No".

Perhaps with the new Doctor Elaine arriving it might liven things up. Ruth & Zara are by far the best actors. However I'm not liking the way they are portraying Ruth now. I'm wondering if they don't really know where to develop her character and they have given her, lets face it, some crappy storylines. Possibly if Julia develops some sort of illness it will be Ruth to the rescue and running The Mill ! She can then clip Daniel round the ear and give him a mouthful! He is really arrogant and annoying now I am finding.
