I had seen a couple of episodes of the original Dr. Who when I was a kid and couldn't get into it then. I'd like to watch them now but they aren't streaming on any of our services. Because I had a negative impression of the original I had no desire to watch the new one. A friend convinced me to watch Season 3 Episode 10, titled Blink, and I was hooked. David Tennant is a treasure.
I was a huge fan of Romana II too. Played by the ever lovely Lalla Ward - who of course married Tom Baker, divorced him 16 months later and then married Richard Dawkins after being introduced to him by Douglas Adams! Small world as they say...
"Spoilers."
ReplyDelete[grin] I'm guessing that's a catchphrase of hers? I tried to get into the 'new' Dr Who but just couldn't...
ReplyDeleteIt is.

Tom Baker is my idea/ideal for Dr Who. It probably helped that I had a HUGE crush on Sarah Jane Smith/Elizabeth Sladen.
ReplyDeleteSarah Jane Smith was definitely a fun character.
