Video Set?

Doctor Who is back tonight. Hope you have your videos set! I think I have.

I'm just old enough to have seen all the episodes, except for a few when I was on holiday bacause in days of yore the season was much longer. I hope this new effort is at least as good as the recent Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) which I quite liked.

I'm resigned to there being no regeneration scene, Ace disappearing without explanation (she got turned into a Cat Person in the last episode), and doing a complete story in 45 minutes probably makes sense for America where they have even more ad breaks than we do, but an hour or ninety minutes would be better, or maybe having several production teams to make enough new Who to show it 24 hours a day or perhaps wire it directly into my brain...

Everyone is talking about their favourite Doctor Who eras, so here's mine: Patrick Troughton; T. Baker; Hartnell; Pertwee; Davison; C. Baker; McCoy; McGann.

Ah, England, without Doctor Who to hurry home in time to watch on a Saturday evening? Impossible!
