My information was way out of date. A "reconstruction" of episode 4 was done by the BBC, and the whole story was released on VHS in 2000. Don't think it had a DVD release, though.

I might have talked a few local friends into helping me DL the episodes so I hope that I can get them all sometime this year!


Where are you getting them from? I'd love to see all the Dr. Who and how its changed over time. I remember the Tom Baker years when it was on PBS years ago. I'd love to see the other doctors in action.


MININOVA - I've finished the first Doctor now!

You wanna do some trading then??

I have the Hartnell (33gb) and am about a quarter of the way into Colin Baker (most underated Doctor) and my brother should have started the Patrick Troughton and or Jon Pertwee!!! I'm also going to start Davison and my moms house (if she lets me!)

I'm highly addicted to Doctor Who, which is not really so great because I avoid watching television at all costs. And it's not even that great, it's quite cheesy and most of the time makes no sense... Over here, the episode in which the Doctor regenerates into the 10th Doctor was aired last night. I realized that the only reason one watches it is for the Daleks and curiosity about the next doctor.

Exactly how I feel. I know it's not that great, I know it's cheesy, I know the stories often are contradictory or lame, yet I still can't help but watch and enjoy it.

War does not make one great.

And that 9th doctor final episode had such a ridiculous and unexplainable Deus Ex Machina... And still, I'll keep watching it.

I don't know if it's possible to merge this Doctor Who thread with the other one?

Are Off Topic Threads even worthy of the effort?

There must be so many threads with little more than pictures of cats speaking internet jive.

Yep I watched it last night.

A bit of a mess but still fun.

I watched the season with Eccleston and the Christmas special with Tennant. Going by that I thought Tennant would do a good job, but when the next season aired I wasn't fond of his portrayal at all and lost all interest in the show.

Christopher Eccleston season + David Tennant Christmas special + the first few David Tennant episodes = my exploration of the Doctor Who universe

Give Series 5 (with Matt Smith) a try.  I've been enjoying Series 5 and 6 much more than I did any of the first 4.  I know many here would disagree with me, but to hell with them, I say!

Doctor Who has had it's ups and downs and there is some degree of debate as to the nature of up and down over it's near 50 year history.

If you fall in love with it you will tend to stay true to whatever the show was doing when you did and then judge it's up and downiness based on how close it is currently matching what you loved about it when you first were seduced by the show.

Matt Smith has many qualities of the second and fourth Doctors so he is appealing to people who picked up there.

Nine and Tens epoch have many of signs of JNT's eighties era (silly panto) and early seventies Pertwee stories (London/Earth bound with an extended family of support characters).

People who fell in love with Doctor Nine will really love Doctor Sixteen.

I love everything I've seen so far. Granted, I'm only 20-some episodes into the "new" series as a whole. I love that the show manages to do whatever it puts its mind to. It's funny when it tries to be funny, its corny when it doesn't care, its scary when it wants to be scary, its heartwarming when it wants to be heartwarming.

I'm very impressed. Having different doctors is also a neat concept for me. I can tell sometimes that Ten is the same Doctor as Nine, but he's also his own character. I was REALLY impressed when I randomly picked one of the Four episodes they have on Netflix. I could see that even then its the same character!

I just ordered my first round of Doctor Who stuff, I'll take pictures when I get it all!

Hope you like Eleven, then; he's more of a "traditional" Doctor than either Eccleston or Tennant... and I love him all the more for it. :-)

Yeah, Matt Smith blows David Tennant out of the water.

And I really liked Tennant.

As did I... but even I got rather annoyed when they dragged out Ten's "goodbyes to his companions" beyond the point of sanity, and all this after he already knows he's going to regenerate!

Smith felt like a breath of fresh air, by comparison...
