I’ve caught it once or twice… and thought it was ok, but I dont know the characters very well yet. I’m definately interested enough to watch more though. 😀

I have all three seasons recorded on DVD…soon to be four…if your DVD player is a Phillips and can read the written DVD discs, I could send you the first season, if you like that and it works in your player, i’ll get you the other three seasons.

I think I am going to buy the offical discs later, the recorded ones are okay, but even skipping commercials, it’s not the same.

That’s an awesome offer, and really sweet! I may take you up on it sometime, but right now I doubt I’d have the time…life has been hectic here lately. 🙂

I am a Whovian from waaaay back. My favorite doctor is Tom Baker, but Tennant is a close 2nd. He absolutely adores being the Doctor, and it shows! It’s funny, but the Brits seem to detest Rose whereas Americans really like her. In that last episode I think Rose really loses out, in the end. She has a “doctor”, but he’s not the one she spent time with, and will always remind her of what she lost. I can’t see her being truly happy. One of my favorite companions is Leela, the knife-wielder. I also like Sarah Jane and, of course, K-9. I haven’t seen Torchwood because we don’t get BBC, but I would like to see it. It will probably end up on SciFi eventually. I also love SGSG1 and Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica. :0)

I started watching Dr Who after being told about it by my grandma. I’d assumed, given the name of the show, that it was going to be another of those awful Family Doctor shows. My grandma, who presumably had watched it thinking it was going to be one of those lovely Family Doctor shows, told me it was like nothing she’d ever seen before, that it was astoundingly good, and that I’d love it because it was about a crazy scientist.

I was hooked right there, so I watched what I assumed was episode two, the following week. For years it niggled me no end that I’d missed the first episode and had no idea what could possibly have happened in it, particularly as the second episode had needed no preamble to make it understandable and indeed seemed to start off as though it were a new story.

Eventually, decades later, I learned that because the first episode had been broadcast the day after JFK had been shot (even in Britain, the airwaves were still full of the news), and because there had been a number of power outages across the country at the time (I have no idea what caused them), the BBC re-broadcast the first episode right before broadcasting the second episode, to give those who had missed it another chance. So I’d actually watched episodes one and two back-to-back without realising it.

This left serious a gap in my worldview, though. There was no missing episode, and all my heart-felt fantasies about finding a way to go back in time to see it became disjointed.

But, from then at the age of 7, to when I left Britain at the age of 30, Dr Who was as much a part of my life as the people around me, and it’s really been great to get back in touch with an old friend.
