An Unearthly Child
Aug. 19th, 2006 10:31 amJack said he wanted to watch the very first episode of Doctor Who, so we watched An Unearthly Child. Jack was glued to the screen, though he asked why there were no aliens towards the end.
I hadn't noticed before, but the tone of the first episode is quite similar in tone to Rose, the first of the new series, with Susan's teachers taking on the role of conspiracy theory investigators. Of course, there is a stark difference in the Doctor's attitude to humans. The first doctor had presumably been round the galaxy a couple of times, but this would appear to be his first visit to Earth, and he is deeply mistrustful of humans.

Almost didn't realise it started today, but my sister set me straight. Popped over to see her and saw it there.

"Very Arthur Dent"
Dec. 25th, 2005 10:02 pmWell, maybe my standards are lower because there hasn't been an episode for four or five months, but I liked it!

I watched the last episode of the new Doctor Who series with Jack amdmadangie last night.
( If you haven't seen it, you might want to skip this bit. )
And Jack, at age five, loves it, which has to be a good sign.

Dr Who Theme
Jun. 6th, 2005 01:20 pmApparently, some people weren't crazy about the version of the theme tune in the new series.
Never let it be said that the BBC don't listen to their audience. Go here to design your own Dr Who theme tune variant.

Need a better icon for this...
