And for me, it works fine whether it airs at midnight (which is 4:00pm on Friday for me) or simulcast with the TV airing (which is around 9:30am on Saturday for me). For the Christmas Special, I wasn’t able to watch it right when it dropped, so I watched it when I could. But being on Disney+ (which I currently have access to) is still better than Jodie’s era where I had to wait for the library to get the DVDs.

Not so much with that, but I used to struggle with missing Doctor Who if I was out somewhere and didn’t get back in time. When I was a kid, when I was out with my parents and brother, we had to rush back for Doctor Who, otherwise I’d cry, even though I knew about the BBC3 repeats.
I’m much better at managing that as a working adult though, when my work schedules don’t always align with the broadcast times of Doctor Who.

When it comes to the Christmas Special, everything has to stop for Doctor Who on Christmas Day. It sounds selfish, but I made my brother wait to open his joint present for myself and my parents until that and Wallace & Gromit finished, because there was no way I was missing watching those two live on Christmas.

I find this thread very therapeutic. Thank you to everyone on here. I know I witter on sometimes, but I love this thread and sharing my thoughts, quirks and approach with you all.
Despite the people around us, it’s not uncommon to feel alone/isolated given that I think about, and interact with, the world differently to most people. This thread reminds me that I’m not alone in this. We might all manifest differently (ah, unique diversity! 
and the wonders of neurodivergence) but we are not alone. We are a community.
