So an episode of Doctor Who that people could have streamed on iview for free or watched on tv made more money than Save Your Legs! , The Rocket, Satelite Boy or These Final Hours.

These Final Hours is a great film. Saw it twice. Sadly it will do well on illegal downloads, the Aussie public just don’t care.
