I imagine that if I'd seen it at the time, it would have terrified me too - the fact that it now looks so dated reduces the scare factor for me.
-
Well, I really enjoyed Nightmare in Silver - there were a few things which annoyed me, but overall it was pretty good. Opinion seems to be very divided though. There's a little prequel to next week's on YouTube which has got me even more interested -
-
Ah.. well that wouldn't be too bad then, they just have to wait! For me, it's pretty perfect - I want to see each Doctor's regeneration, and some of the titles are on my existing list, so to have them accompanied by a nice book is ideal. I've been watching Planet of the Spiders already, mind you, and am finding it too dated, it's quite laughable really.

According the amazon 'reviews', many fans are upset - apparently there's one in there which is a new release, but it won't be released on it's own.

This http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Regeneration-William-Hartnell/dp/B00BWU1ESO/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp is coming out in June, and I think it'll be a must-buy. It covers some of the stories on my list, and the accompanying book should be interesting. Disc 1: The Tenth Planet / The War Games (Parts 1-5) | Final episode of William Hartnell Disc 2: The War Games (Parts 6-10) | Final episode of Patrick Troughton Disc 3: Planet of the Spiders | Final episode of Jon Pertwee Disc 4: Logopolis / The Caves of Androzani | Final episodes of Tom Baker and Peter Davison Disc 5: Time and the Rani / The Movie | First and Final episodes of Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann Disc 6: Bad Wolf - The Parting of the Ways / The End of Time | Final episodes of Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant

Claire, we've been to North Devon twice before, and are going back this summer. We're going to be in a little cottage near Ilfracombe, where did you go?
-
Sounds good - I loved Genesis of the Daleks, and have a few more from that era (70's Tom Baker) to now watch.
-
I've started listening to Wool.. Part 1 was really good, would have worked well as a short story. Part 2 is ok so far, will let you know how I get on.
-
Hmm.. I suppose it depends on the reader, as it does concern the last few humans alive. They do fight back though!
-
I've added one or two - I've been convinced to add The Curse of Fenric, plus a few others. However, if I don't particularly enjoy a Doctor or companion, their further adventures may disappear from my list! I've almost done with Genesis of the Daleks, and am really enjoying it - I definitely prefer this era to the 80's era of Revelation of the Daleks, so will probably watch quite a few of these.
-
Let me know what you think if you do. I have a thread at Gallifrey Base (big Who forum) where I'll post more details.
-
I think the war setting put me off, whilst the Greatest Show looked like it could be creepy! I'm hoping to start off with one or two for each Doctor - my list for each will then increase or decrease depending on how much I enjoy them. I've already noticed I seem to be attracted towards the Fourth - I'm going to start with the 1st few, then see where I go from there.
-
My list which I will be editing over time, including important points.... I now have a good idea as to which are available on itunes, what's on DVD, what I've already bought etc Edited: List moved to 1st post
-
Thanks again Raven. I started a thread over at Gallifrey Base, to keep a record of what I'd bought, watched, my thoughts etc. It now appears that I can't edit a post after a couple of hours, so I can't update my list. So, I'm going to add it here, so I can keep track. I won't post much more in here though, as it doesn't seem to be generating much interest - apart from Raven. So, next post will be my list, so I can keep coming back and updating it.
-
Would you recommend those two?
-
Netflix has confused me - I thought I was going in order, but it appears not! I'm watching Resurrection of the Daleks ('84), then will go back to Genesis of The Daleks ('75). I love the way this is very 80's, and very 'spacy', with laser fights in starship corridors etc. Davros is brill, much more excitable than in the newer series. Peter Davison seems to be a rather calm Doctor. It's also quite amusing to see Leslie Grantham!
-
Three of the big Dalek stories have been added to Netflix, so that will help with costs - I started Resurrection of the Daleks last night.
-
If you mean 'illegally', that's not something we promote on here!
-
I'll probably pop into this thread and report on what I watch. I'm also hoping a few others have seen some and will join in. We've just been watching some of the first Dalek story, and I couldn't help noticing how chatty they were! Its also interesting that they haven't actually changed that much from the basic design. I also think The Doctor is rather frail - he gets out of breath easily and is most affected by the radiation. It's no wonder he got younger with each regeneration!
-
Thanks to Raven, I've now added: Dalek Invasion of Earth The Invasion Inferno Planet of The Spiders The Ark in Space The Hand of Fear The Deadly Assassin The Keeper of Traken / Logopolis / Casttrovalva Resurection of the Daleks Vengeance on Varos The Mark of Rani Remembrance of the Daleks Ghost Light These are all on an Amazon wish-list, which means I can buy one or two when I feel like it. I think I'll be inclined to buy them as they appeal to me, rather than in order - are there any which HAVE to be in a certain order?
-
Thanks Raven - I shall go and check out the ones you mention, and add those which interest me. Thanks for the warning Claire!
-
Thank you - I thought it easier to have a new thread. And of course there's a world before Tennant - there was Eccleston!

Despite a vague recollection of Doctor Who being on when I was young, I've only become a fan since New-Who. I recently decided I wanted to see the first few episodes, and so bought The Beginning. I loved the very 1st episode, found the next few episodes ok, and am looking forward to watching the first Dalek story. I've now decided to give myself a taster of some more earlier episodes. I read part of a thread over at Gallifrey Base, and got some recommendations, then took a look at them on Amazon. Edited: This is my up to date list, so I don't need to keep scrolling down! First Doctor: An Unearthly Child The Daleks - part watched The Edge of Destruction Dalek Invasion of Earth - Daleks in London The War Machines - early story of computers taking over The Tenth Planet [on Regen box set] - bought Second Doctor: Tomb of the Cybermen - bought The Mind Robber - land of fiction The Krotons The Invasion - Cybermen in London The War Games [on Regen box set] - bought Third Doctor: Spearhead From Space - 1st The Sulurians - bought Inferno Terror of the Autons Day of the Daleks - bought Curse of Peladon The Sea Devils - bought The Three Doctors - bought Carnival of Monsters Frontier in Space Planet of the Daleks The Green Death The Time Warrior Death to the Daleks Planet of The Spiders [on Regen box set] Fourth Doctor: The Ark in Space Genesis of the Daleks Planet of Evil - bought Pyramids of Mars The Deadly Assassin - Master - itunes The Face of Evil The Robots of Death The Talons of Weng-Chiang - bought The Invisible Enemy The Key to Time series - bought - 1st Romana - started The City of Death - bought The E-Space Trilogy * - last Romana and K9 The Keeper of Traken Logopolis [on Regen box set] Fifth Doctor: Castrovalva Four to Doomsday The Visitation - itunes Black Orchid Time Flight - itunes Arc of Infinity - itunes Kinda Earthshock The Five Doctors - bought Snakedance The Black Guardian Trilogy The King's Demons * Warriors of the Deep - bought The Awakening Frontios - itunes Resurrection of the Daleks Planet of Fire The Caves of Androzani [on Regen box set] Sixth Doctor: Vengeance on Varos The Mark of Rani - Master and Rani - itunes Revelation of the Daleks - Davros back The Trial of a Timelord series Seventh Doctor: Time and the Rani [on Regen box set] - bought Remembrance of the Daleks [on Netflix] Dalek factions The Greatest Show in the Galaxy Ghost Light - itunes The Curse of Fenric - bought Survival Eighth Doctor: Doctor Who - The Movie - on Netflix [on Regen box set] - bought

Give me a bit of credit!! I got http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000C6EMTC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It was a light hearted fun episode, and Mr Sweet made me laugh. I know it'll divide opinions, but I quite enjoyed it, and it's set up nicely for next week's, which I'm hoping will be a bit darker, and scary!
