Doctor Who

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Not sure if this is the thread we were using for discussing the release of all the old Doctor Whos on the iPlayer.....a while back I expressed my dismay when Liz Shaw was replaced by Jo Grant. Well, having now finished watching all the Jo Grant episodes I can confirm I agree with whoever pulled me up - she turned out to be excellent. Not as good as Liz Shaw, but excellent nevertheless.

I am now starting the first Sarah Jane Smith episode. Crikey she looks young, but so far hasn't gasped 'Doctor!'. I found her to be very annoying when I was a teenager. Let's see how it pans out.

In this first episode I thought 'I recognise that actress'. A rather posh woman. I waited for the credits......June Brown. Later to emerge as Dot Cotton. Also the first appearance of the Sontarans. Good times.

Fantastic to hear - I’ve only seen all the episodes through in order around five times, so plenty more times to enjoy them yet!

The classic series are still great although I remember giving up on it when McCoy was the doctor.

I'm on the edge of giving up on it again as I didn't enjoy 4 of the 8 episodes last series which is a high "miss rate". I thought episode 8 was abysmal after a decent episode 7.

No doubt I'll watch the Christmas Day episode but after that probably not.
