D'oh. Wishing I'd asked before I started with City of Death today.

*Proceeds down through list*

D'oh. Wishing I'd asked before I started with City of Death today.

It is possible that I have seen it waaaaaaay too many times anyway *g*.

*Proceeds down through list*

I have an even longer list!

Herculean task is herculean! I found somewhere I can watch a lot of the good episodes online, and I got through Caves of Androzani (which is very, very good) before my internet decided to wander off and have a jellybaby or something.

Also I'll message you when I get out of my thing today. Should be around 2-ish.

Herculean task is herculean!

It sure is. I have watched the whole TV series (and listened to the parts the BBC set on fire) and this is still only the tip of the iceberg. I am nowhere near through the books, the audios, the comic strips, the Sky Ray ice lolly wrappers ...

Last night, I got part way through answering your 'what should I watch next?' question before I got distracted by something, so: I think the only Doctors you've not seen now are Two and Six? For the second Doctor, I would probably recommend Tomb of the Cybermen if the website has it, and if not you can always watch it at my place. With the Sixth Doctor, I think you are actually better skipping his TV adventures for now - since you're a Hitchiker's Guide fan and familiar with audio drama, I can lend you a couple of those. Colin Baker's Doctor gets to be unimaginably better on radio than he was on TV.

Sky Ray ice lolly wrappers... :S

Distracted eh? I am jaloux. My secret source does indeed have Tomb of the Cybermen so I'm watching it now. While I have an urge to watch Trial of a Time Lord to get a feel for the Valeyard (to compare to current goings-on) it's probably not the best place to start if I want to actually *like* the 6th Doctor (considering the whole background production issues and such).

Hey there. Give me a call when you read this, keep me updated. Hope you're feeling at least a little better.
