Lawks, can't escape it for trying ! I watched it when I was little - Tom Baker will always be my Doctor, from the safety of behind the sofa. But no - I have a house full of 10 year old girls and I shall be mostly taking headache tablets

I am SO EXCITED for David Tennant to be back on this episode. I'll be watching tonight!

Look at the Google home page. They have a Dr. Who Google doodle.

Daughter of a donut! I'm missing it! I sincerely hope it is On Demand. David Tennant is one of my favorite doctors.

Well I thought that was pretty amazing. It's just a shame it was on so late 7.50pm. Too late to watch with my little boy, who would have loved it!

Love the Doctor!

It was on at 2:50 pm here on the east coast in the US. then again later that night (yes I watched it twice) and I have to say it was one of the best episodes ever!!! Loved Tom Baker being part of the show too. He is one of my favorite Doctors ( I think he is a lot of folks favorites because he held the DR role the longest of them all). It has been repeated twice on Sunday too. If you missed it I'm sure you can find it on at some time.

If you haven't guessed yet I am an avid Whovian - started watching in the 70's and haven't stopped since!!

Love the Doctor! DD spent her Saturday evening watching it and spent the previous two weeks watching all the old seasons.

Surely not ALL - it has been going since 1963 !

 

[gymmomtoo]

Well SHE claims she did LOL!

 

[Iwannabemargo]

I remember being terrified of the spiders when Jon Pertwee changed in Tom Baker

 

[Becauseisaid]

Could be. BBC America has been rerunning some of the OLD episodes for about a month now.

I thought Christopher Ecclestone was a very nice Doctor. Indeed. We have that series on DVD.

I think many of the original episodes have been lost, back when tape was expensive, and there was no home VHS market, so they'd re-use the same tape for the following weeks episode.

I loved Christopher Ecclestone too. He's definitely my favourite of the "new" dr's. I have a soft spot for Colin and Tom Baker too, but I used to watch it for K9 in those days

 

[Iwannabemargo]

I think Christopher Ecclestone has a touch of mania about all his performances

I will have you know a touch of mania can be very attractive!

Tom Baker all the way for the old Doctors. Like Margo he was my Doctor as a kid.

 

[GymBee97]

Well SHE claims she did LOL!

My DD thinks she has seen them all too because she saw 9, 10 and 11 not realizing how long the series has been on. Now she knows better LOL.
