DR WHO - HELP ME PLEASE

19 replies

Any chance of anyone saving my DH from a very painful death?
I recorded the last two episodes of Dr Who. Guess which idiot managed to tape over them before I had a chance?
I can still catch the 2nd episode when it is repeated on Friday but does anyone have the previous episode on tape that I could borrow?
Please, I'm begging. I mean, I am quite happy to kill DH but the kids might miss him.

Bum. Could have got youthe second episode but not the first I think. I can check on Telewest's replay feature but I think they only have the last episode.

Thanks for looking anyway.

I shall start sharpening my axe ready for the ceremonial execution when DH returns from work.

I'll try to remember to have a look at home too, but I suspect we recorded part 2 over part 1, IYSWIM.

We record everything on Sky Planner - still have that episode but don't think there is a way of getting it onto tape is there?

I don't know sparkler, I don't have Sky!

Ok so now I need a Sky expert. Has DH possibly had a reprieve courtesy of sparkler?

Come on people help a poor man on his (possibly) last day on earth.

You can 'download' or copy a programme recorded on skyplus onto a tape. I think it's the blue button if you know what I mean. It takes the length of the programme to copy across to tape and I don't think you can use sky for anything else while you're doing it.

Oohhh, is that the answer sparkler? Can you do it? Am I pleading enough?

I will come and wash the windows of your imaginary but much loved conservatory for you. Or send chocolate.

Pretty please with bells on

Just checked, and I've got the first (and second) Dr Who episodes on tape, if Sparkler cant' help and you still need them. Have emailed you.

OK - it's gone in the post this morning . Only a small post office, so it may not actually go anywhere till this afternoon.

sorry - haven't had chance to get back to you before.
DH rushed in from work last night and out again before I had chance to ask him about it.
We definitely have it on Sky planner - sounds like you have it sorted now but let me know if there's a problem.

Thank you Jackie.

Thank you for offering sparkler but tape is on it's way now.

I am a happy bunny.

DH is still alive (until the next time!)

Mumsnet is bloody marvellous.
