New Who is coming to the US
Just for those who were unaware, the first/twenty-seventh season of Doctor Who will be hitting screens stateside in March on the Sci-Fi Channel, and they've taken an option on the second season (no mention of the Christmas special, but I expect we'll hear soon enough). The bad news is that anyone who was hoping to buy the DVDs of the first season will have to wait a little longer as it's been set back from February to early July.
BBCi News item Sci Fi Wire item Of course, there's no mention of anything happening with the classic series, but hopefully if the new series proves a hit it won't be away from US screens for too long.

Excellent. I might be able to watch Doctor Who now.

Moreover, they've scheduled on their Sci Fi Fridays after the very popular BG redux -- so it may actually build an audience. As with anything on Sci Fi, though, it depends partly on how much the network bothers to promote it.

I've only seen four new Who episodes so far, but I love it. (Hence my disproportionate referencing of "Rose" in 5M.net stuff.) I have the Christmas Invasion on tape, but I'm not going to watch it till I've seen the rest of S1. Which I have NOT by ANY MEANS downloaded.

Zeke, "Dalek" is going to blow you away. It's kind of a nice reward after sitting through "Aliens of London/World War 3" anyhow.

And hey, I thought "Aliens/WWIII" was funny. Silly, but funny. I loved the idea that the Doctor was forced to watch an alien invasion on BBC News.

I've seen "Dalek." (Did I say I'd seen the first four episodes?) I agree, it's awesome.

Personally I think this topic should have been named ‘New Who is coming to you!’ I think it has some nice rhyming to it.
I did toy with ‘New Who coming for you.’ But that might scare the paranoid….

Oh and to Scooter and others not in Britain? Please take this, not the wrong way, but it's so nice that everyone else in the world has to wait for the Doctor Who DVD's except England. You guys get everything good first! Star Trek, House, Scrubs. I may just explode if I have to wait much longer for the new 24 series.....
The Republic of Congo gets quicker DVD releases than the UK!

Of course, I mean that in the sense of downloading Halo: Custom Edition or the Quake 4 demo or something legal like that. Yeah. |

So as a question then, how much Doctor Who do you guys get in your different places around the world? When did you first watch it?
I remember first watching Pyramids of Mars and being utterly spooked. Giant walking robotic mummies? Who wouldn't be?! But still total bloody first class television!

(I'm not looking forward to the broadcasts on SCI FI channel, to be honest -- SCI FI shows looots of commercials.) Let's see -- the first episode I remember seeing is "Earthshock" -- Cybermen marching up iron staircases. Out of context I was impressed but a little lost. But later in Boston I was able to see the whole thing from the beginning practically. And then I was hooked. I used to have videotapes off the air of every episode broadcast; now I just have a slew of DVDs. And a new Doctor to enjoy (if I can).

Not a Doctor fan? Can that be? Doesn't everone love the Tardis? Surely K9 melts even the hardest of hearts?

You may have gone a little far with that last statement. We'll see when he makes his one-off reappearance this season.
