Is what my brain looks like after a ten hour day and my doctor said I need to slow down. So I started using Microsoft software and I let it manage my computer. So now every thing runs nice and slow, I boot up and go for a cafe latta with all the toppings. And by the time I get back I can login.

The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition. And see Christopher Lee get his arse kicked! :D

So much good stuff cut out of the theatre edition lest "the public" - with their short attention spans - get bored.

However, you can keep The Matrix follow-ons. Actually, you can keep the original as I'm just not a fan of KR's "acting".

UKTV Gold are showing [b]all[/b] of the last Doctor Who series back-to-back. I'm watching "The Doctor Dances", the one in war-time London, as I type.

Seriously good geeky stuff and another three episodes to go after this one!

I didn't see a hamster on a wheel anywhere! Oh, maybe this isn't an Intel-based machine. Never mind.

You're the technician, Hawk. What do I know? 'looks like I'd better stick to exploring TR to learn about 'puters, huh? ROFL

Not really edited..LOL...'Just wanted to show you that if I don't edit I miss things like hitting shift when I start a new sentence. That baby L looks sad up there!

you have to watch the original BBC TV series to find out about Dr Who, anything less is sacriledge and gets the death penalty.

by oneamazingwriter

I get a choice between having jd chase me down with a chocolate bar (another thread) and the death penalty because I don't watch TV. Such confusion. Which one is worse? What's a girl to do?
I know. 1-Click always has the answer!

To have watched the original BBC series, ON BBC, that would indeed be dating one-self. It was a good show BTW, and those were very interesting times.

is a famous British sci-fi series about a time traveller (a Time Lord) that first aired in 1963 - I was a little kid hiding behind the sofa and peeking over the top. The series carried on with different Doctors - he used to metamorphose into a new character when killed - until 1989.

Following that there was a TV movie (crap) in 1996 and the second series of the new incarnation starts here on Saturday with the 10th Doctor. The first series was excellent but as the actor didn't want to be typecast, we are already into a "new" Doctor. Surprisingly, this has become part of the series' fun and works well.

The definitive "old" Doctor was a really over-the-top classic actor called Tom Baker and if you can ever catch some of these then you will truly understand what the old series were all about. I think that you might find some of the other Doctors just a bit too alien unless you understand 60's and 70's Britain. :D

The new series from last year has moved on from the awful "rubber suit" special effects of the earlier stuff to be quite good but it retains the thread of humour that characterised most of the Doctors.

Some of the villains, The Daleks (Exterminate!) and the The Cybermen, are still going strong after forty years.

Wiki, of course, has a page...

heck no, he was THE DOCTOR.
which other Doctor could pull a Tardis out of his pockets in spare parts, and a bag of gummy bears?
the scarf was hilarious, all 23 miles of it. :)

you mean they are still using the salt cellars as bad guys? ]:)

I don't think moving away from the hockey rubber suit FX is an improvement, the DR is supposed to a tongue in cheek poke at Hollywoodland.

for catching me up, neilb. :X I'm Rip Van Winkle in a lot of areas, but now that I'm attempting to catch up a lot of people don't know who Rip was, so I just call myself a dinosaur. Between TR and 1-click I figure I'll be up to date in about 6 months...and, if not, by then you'll all be used to me. :p

I was always partial to good ole' John Pertwee myself. Although, I enjoyed him in Wurzel Gummidge just as much too! :D

by jaqui

since the movies don't show the Dr off right, you need the tv series.
snagging a copy of the movie from a video store will not give you the insight to the comments from Neil.

by jaqui

I never said on BBC, just the original BBC series.

I watched it on local channels here.
and it didn't make it over here until 1982

by oneamazingwriter

often. I'm a great date ! :D

I was 5 years old when we got our first TV and we were one of the first families in the neighborhood to have one.

Yep, they're still around and menacing the Earth, the Daleks. Uprated to GTi specifications with rather sexy 360 degree gun turrets, antigravity, nearly impenetrable armour, the ability to regenerate from absorbed DNA and a rather nifty ability to extract power from anything. Oh, and a nice gold colour.

The series just gone, with Christopher Ecclestone, had a lot of good humour and - a first! - good special effects but was still recognisable as Doctor Who and very enjoyable.

Billie Piper is very acceptable eye candy as the obligatory assistant.

I do agree with you about Tom Baker! Not gummy bears, jelly babies! This was, after all, an English show.

Neil :D

p.s. I believe that K9 is rediscovered in the new series that starts here on Saturday and they also get hold of Sarah jane Smith who was companion for Doctors Three and Four (Tom Baker).

by jaqui

the black made them the evil baddies in looks, the gold is just wrong. :(
