Rant time and documentaries

Why is it that TV doesn't broadcast enough classic who? Ok u can find a lot of it online but for me nothing beats good old fashioned sitting in front of the TV with a cup of tea and some biscuits but classic who just isn't shown. I mean you'd think it'd be shown here in the UK being such an iconic programme but all we get is a few repeats of series 1-4.



Imagine my delight that the channel WATCH advertised that it was Doctor who day on saturday, wow was my reply, a whole day to Doctor Who, finally.  well not only is it not on the WHOLE day but its a pretty poor line up.  we have 'The Next Doctor' followed by the two Peter Cushing movies and then the Paul Mcgann film (none of which are IMO that good) and then they are just repeating 'The next Doctor' for good measure or incase your a fan of David Morrisey or cybermen or something. 

Can't understand why they can't play a few oldies for us Who fans who are trying to watch as many as possible and don't want to be at the computer screen all day or skint from having to bu EVERY single DVD of a programme spanning almost half century.

On a positive note though our Myth maker DVD's arrived today, we got Jacqueline Hill with Raymond Cusick ones and William Russell and Verity Lambert. looking forward to watching about their opinions of their time on the show. it's great on DVD commentary but even nicer to see them in person.


On a side note about DVD commentary. on the commentary for I think it might be 'Keys of Marinus' if you can listen to it please do. Clayton Hickman the moderator informs William Russell that Edwina Currie described him as her teenage 'sex symbol' hahaha there is a brief pause before you hear Russ just sort of mutter out a few words of embarrassment and Carol Ann Ford declare amusingly that Russell doesn't look anything like John Major.

You're not the only one Edwina!

Especially if you saw him in 'The Adventures of Sir Lancelot'

That's why you should always watch anything behind the scenes, that's where the secrets come out...Be seeing you...
