"Rag Trade" and "Never Mind" haven't done badly at all, better than "Who" anyway.

I work on a daily basis around people suffering from dyslexia and dyspraxia - comments like the above are not helpful. Unless you know for a fact that the poster is lying about having a disability, kindly suspend judgement. Quite, I've worked with special needs children who have severe disabilities. Some of them will never be able to spell to the ability of the "average" 6 year old. I'm not saying it applies in this case, but it is worth considering. His grammatical 'stylings' are very obvious affectations - don't get dragged into an irrelevant debate about a serious issue. This is not what is happening here. It's feigned, contrived, attention-seeking behaviour. |

When he "texts" me with his mobile it comes across grammatically almost the same as this. So please remember that other people may actually be affected. And if you think stories and rumours about missing episodes are really a "serious issue", maybe check the news! |

Let's get back on topic, folks. Apologies Laurence, you may want to delete my last few posts there and the rest of the off-topic nonsense around them. |

"Rag Trade" and "Never Mind" haven't done badly at all, better than "Who" anyway. I've been considering a comparison of Who versus other shows' survival; does anyone know of an existing article? |

He keeps saying there will be announcements of missing episodes being returned, but nothing is being announced when he expects something to be said.  This is a classic example why I am only looking for official announcements now. |

Good grief!This guy Sammi is so gullible.He's the same guy that posted a gushing video ( earlier this year I think ) saying that his mate had found the Tenth Planet episode 4 in his attic!He was completely taken in by this,filming himself wandering around his bedroom exclaiming the find into his camera at the top his voice.Cringe inducing stuff and to be ignored at all costs!Adds nothing to the current rumours debate. |

It's worth pointing out that Sammi appears to have learning difficulties, and takes every rumour presented to him as confirmed fact. Unfortunately, amongst others, he follows Outpost Skaro on Twitter, which has led to him believing all kinds of... stuff. Because he posts very publicly on YouTube, this has opened him up to all sorts of people telling him all sorts of rubbish, most of which wouldn't take most people in. It's cruel really, poor sod.
Either way, I'd agree with Jaspal that he adds nothing whatsoever to the discussion.

A quick note that anyone out there who's taking advantage of anyone with a learning disability for some kind of amusement is a git.
