Never having been there, Ten, I have to ask: is Wales really all that bad?

[Prophet_Tenebrae]

In fairness, I've never been there either. There are various parts of Britain which are subject to playful disdain... Wales, anything within 50 miles of Manchester, Liverpool or Birmingham, the West Coast of Scotland, everything North of Stirling, everything West of Bristol... and absolutely everything within the M25. That's the abridged version anyway.

No, really I think the actors were just unaccustomed to such long location shoots - and because of the nature of the show, most of the leg work is falling onto the two principles who will be in every episode... which is of course, why they did some Doctor lite episodes - although, while reading, apparently this was actually something that went on back in the old days too.

Anyway, you should have a good feel for Cardiff at least. Given that most of the filming is done there - a lot of London is actually Cardiff and of course, Torchwood actually doesn't pretend otherwise... whatever happened to Torchwood? Back in "Spring 2009", apparently.

Don't forget Milton Keynes

Apparently a certain short-lived Bionic Woman is going to be the new companion...

[TheZookie007]

That's good news, at least she got something out of being in the short-lived reimagined Bionic Woman.

[Prophet_Tenebrae]

In fairness, she had the opportunity to be equally mediocre in the trying to be mediocre Merlin.

She has yet to win me over... but yeah, I think a nasty case of ebola would be better than Tate or Piper.

Waters of Mars was interesting and rather downbeat.

Not long till the End of Time now then.

I have this theory that people feel the "best" Doctor is the one they first saw.

Thanks to DVDs, you can now see them all and compare them directly. They are all good, each in their own way.

Would you believe if I told you the Doctor I saw first was Peter Cushing?

No, he wasn't one of the Doctor in the series, but he did play him in a movie released in the US in the mid 60's called Doctor Who and the Daleks. I happened to see it at our local movie theater as part of a two bill Saturday afternoon matinee (and, no don't ask me what other movie was on the bill ). 

It would then be almost twenty-five years until the BBC released the series to be broadcast by PBS affiliates in the US, which was when I discovered the other "Doctors". And as I recall when the local PBS station first started airing the series they began with the Tom Baker episodes. Eventually they would air every single episode that the BBC made available from their vaults. So that was my introduction to the character.

Part 1 of the Xmas special was pretty good eh?
I didn't think we'd be seeing those chaps again!

I don't have BBC America, thus no Dr. Who.

Generally, mostly just the single-episode reruns here (and some a few years old at that... not played in sequence so sometimes you're jumping back and forth between Doctors) and not the new episodes/specials which only seem to be on BBC America (not part of my cable package) though they are advertised on SciFy (or however the F they spell it these days). I know that all of it is available online via various nefarious means ( ) but frankly, I don't have that kind of time (to hunt it all down, let alone 'acquire' it). Guess I'll just have to wait till BBC puts them online someday, or buy DVDs some years from now. I'll live.

Fair enough.

Yup I'm sure there are ways and means.
