I plan on catching it however I can. My exwife recently mentioned something about BBC on Hulu now... I haven't checked it out yet, but I wonder if they'll release Who on there like they do on their BBC website...
They have Doctor Who on HuluPlus. It looks like it goest up to season 7. I confess, I don't know how many seasons there are at this point, so I don't know if it's complete.

There's about 40 seasons, the shows been airing since the 60s, so... you don't have all the episodes. Don't feel bad though the earlier shows are
all but LOST due to stuff happing in Europe in the 60s-70s.
Recently they found a ton of tapes with the First Doctor, they are in the process of restoring the episodes, you can catch the trailers at the Dr.

As for whether finding 9 lost episodes is a lot or not, I think that's simply a subjective argument. While it may not seem like a lot to
many people, people have been looking for these episodes for decades.
Up to now, they've had to combine elements from two or three different sources in the hope of reproducing one or two episodes now and then.
Maybe they found the tapes on old 1960s data storage units. It could of weighed a ton...it's not a TON. it's 9 episodes.

you need to learn how to read. DOCTOR WHO, ended in 89, as i stated
above.

and why are you correcting me on "survival part three" saying "!=Pilot" when i never mentioned anything like that?
that is considered most the last episode of doctor who by these
websites. not sure if it was a tv movie or what.
I get most of my information for this from tvrage, and i'm pretty sure it's accurate.
regarding me correcting you saying they found TONS of lost tapes, that story has been in the media for quite some time. again, it's not a ton
of tapes.
As I said in another message, that all depends on how you look at it. Compared to how material has been dribbling in over the years, this
was a significant find. These cover episodes that had been considered completely gone from existance, aside from scripts.
killed another conversation? or was it just done?

better luck next time, idiot.
So, did anyone else catch the special? I happened to be at my mother's after work picking up the kiddos, stayed for dinner. I remembered it was gonna be on, and she let me put it on while we ate dinner. The kids and I watched the entire thing...they loved it.

So, did anyone else catch the special?Saw it last night in the theater in 3D, was GREAT. They had the doctors come out and do a little thing ("live"), then after the episode (which I have no idea why they didn't make an effort to broadcast the show in 3D because it looked really good) they played a 30 min docudrama that was voiced by Colin Baker (#6) which was pretty cool.
Based on the dialog that Baker had, he's apparently a future regeneration of the Doctor that decided to bring back an old face. So, apparently, in the future he will have some ability to control his regnerations.
The whole point of the thing seemed to be about bringing back Gallifrey. I don't know if they will just forget about that, but I doubt it.
Did you watch An Adventure in Space and Time? That was very good.

There is also the Paul McGann 7 minute web special. I enjoyed both of those as much as the 50th episode, and there was also the Peter

Interesting. I'm going to watch it again tonight, I was a littl
distracted when it aired, so perhaps I'll catch things I didn't notic
before. It's certainly not a new concept -- Romana was able to do it multiple times on demand. Seemed like quite a waste to me at the tim
to choose to regenerate, and to this day I wonder what the writers an producers were thinking throwing that into the canon...lol
I think most viewers have been aching to see Gallifrey and all th
Time Lords return. It's certainly kept me in suspense for the las
seven years wondering "Will this be the year?". While the new serie
has been excellent for the most part, something has been missing
While the Doctor has always been an outcast and rarely interacted wit
other Gallifreyans, the show is quickly becoming routine. Hell
despite the events of the Time War, the Daleks have appeared severa
times in one form or another... the Master made an appearance..
Gallifrey itself even returned in a fashion one time. Might as wel
bring 'em back now, it'll introduce some great dynamics that the sho
has been missing for some time
I used to love episodes where it starts off as normal, going to som
planet for pleasure and you just know it's gonna be anything but, an
suddenly some light starts blinking and the Klaxon goes off, and th
doctor gets that look... he's being called to Gallifrey. Or he jus
up and gets hijacked
Now, you want to know what *I* want to see return? The Guardians. :
I wish they had done more with Paul McGann, though... a full 45 min
episode would have been good. For the longest time I was sure the
would have done some kind of TV movie for the Time War, and showin
what happens with McGann. Instead, we get 7 mins. Sigh..

I agree about Eccleston. He was great and an integeral part of the reboot. It makes me sad that he didn't want to be part of it. I understand that he's a bit of an ass and is more than a little caught up in his own self-importance. But, maybe he's only protecting his career.

the people that i heard call him names were usually angry fanboys.
the story goes that chris was upset about how the crew was treated. it
was the first year and they were getting their footing and things were rushed and everyone was pushed to their limits.
i guess eccleston actually tried to stop production one day for the sake of the crew by walking off, but they ended up shooting rose scenes instead. the day was over 18 hrs.
he seems like a nice guy. i've seen a lot of his interviews. when they bring up doctor who i see his jaw clench and you can tell there is something much more there than him moving on. i remember a guy was
asking him about all kinds of things and then went to doctor who and i
saw this personality shift and it looked like eccleston wanted to slug
the guy.

That's not uncommon in England. I know tons of adults who can't drive.
The test is really hard to pass and it's very expensive because of the cost of fuel. Lots of people just take the bus or a taxi.
i think eccleston was the best doctor who so far though
I'm going to be honest tho; if it wasn't for his portrayal in Doctor Who, I prolly wouldn't know who he was. I've seen him in The Others, but I had to try and think who he was in that film. I can't say that I've seen him in anything else.

It's just expensive any way you slice it. If I could find an IT job that paid decently in my local area, I'd get rid of my car and ride a bike or something. It's so expensive to drive and maintain a car here.
For example, it costs seventy five pounds to fill my car. That equates to $123.00

I was just paying attention to the actual dialog.
Eleventh Doctor: I never forget a face.
The Curator: I know you don't. And in years to come you might find yourself revisiting a few, but just the old favorites.
So it seems to me that he is supposed to be a future incarnation that has somehow controlled his regeneration... sort of a forth Doctor, mark II. Not that it matters to me... it was nice to see him again.

Yeah, but none of the doctors remember that Gallefrey was saved (except fo matt smith's doctor), they cleared all that up at the end with Tom Baker' camio. Nothing has changed, just instead of Gallefrey being destroyed, it' trapped in a painting god knows where and it'll be up to Matt Smith to fin and free the Time Lords. Should be a laugh, but the show always manages to affect the time stream in any permanent fashion, they just have temporar camios that everyone forgets when they end

"Do you have to talk like children? What is it that makes you so ashamed of being a grown-up?"
I don't see how you can have a time travel show without this sort of paradox cropping up.
Well, yeah. It's really the same thing, as we will never see this incarnation again... Mr. Baker is getting a bit eldery now. I also doubt we will see any more Paul McGann, which is unfortunate, because he plays a really good part.
See, it's easy. It's not difficult to do a time travel show, in fact it's easy if you keep the rules extremely loose.
