Can anybody please answer a Dr. Who question?

[Haole Girl]

I don't watch the show, but my husband is watching yet another episode...

Please, tell me, what in the hell is that "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" scream they play every 5 minutes?!

It's driving me insane and hubby will only say, "If you want to know, you can watch it." Dammit, I don't want to watch it.

What the hell is that screaming? What... is... it??

Thank you!!

1. Ask Hypnotoad.

2. Dr. Why says no.

:yoiks:

3. Hypnotoad...

calling Hypnotoad!

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Why don't you just watch it? It's some of the most intelligent TV

of the last 40 years, whether it's the current SciFi Dr. Who or the old ones.

Seriously - give it a try.

6. I can't stand the screaming...

..I can't stand it!!!

And, nobody *makes* me do anything I don't want to do...especially when I just have a simple question!

5. I could tell you but I'm hiding behind the sofa myself.

7. Oh, it's just a time creature that

makes people ask questions on Internet forums.

I've never actually seen the new Dr. Who, so I just made up the stuff above.

8. *sigh*

I guess it will just be one of life's little mysteries...I really don't care...really. :hi:

9. Ah ha. That indifference explains this thread, does it?

:rofl:

[Haole Girl]

10. Well, I now have cotton in my ears!

:eyes:

11. You mean the old or the new episodes?

I watch the new show, and I love it. I don't know what you're talking about with the screams.

[Haole Girl]

12. If you haven't heard the screaming, then..

...we are not talking about the same show!

I give up.

[Pithlet]

13. Now I'm going to pay more attention next time I watch.

I'll be listening for the screaming. :)

14. What scream? Every 5 minutes? Which story are you referring to?

(I just saw the post)

The new series (2005, 2006) or the classic (1963-1989)?

[Haole Girl]

15. The new one...it seems especially noisy...

about every 5 minutes, each time (according to my husband...finally, last night) something "scary" happens there is a huge AAAAAAAAAAaahhhhhh. I finally tuned it out. But, there is no way in hell I am going to watch something with that much screaming in it.

[Deja Q]

16. Ah.

Yeah, the new one has more of the "BOO!" factor... trouble is, it's emotional porn with little substance. It's better than most tv out there, but given how the classic series can mop the floor with the new one in terms of intellectual content...
