I can't spoiler tag this image, so I'm just going to direct link to it. Don't click if you haven't seen the latest season!

Ah. So, this thread exists.
I might as well move in all my stuff.

Y'know what's great? How many classic Doctor Who serials you can watch over on Dailymotion. I'm currently in the midst of "The Two Doctors," with Colin Baker and Patrick Troughton. Fun stuff.

I have yet to successfully finish anything before the 8th doctor.

I guess it was easier to watch them when they were first on! I'd say start with the 7th Doctor and go backwards. Partially because I love Sylvester McCoy, and partially because at least it is the next oldest incarnation and doens't quite suffer the same pacing and effects as the really old stuff does. Well, not as much!

Hmm, though can I suggest starting with the first advenutures with Ace and not the sillier start of the 7th doctor

The audio plays that Big Finish puts out make me far too happy.

Paul McGann's one-off TV movie was the first Doctor Who story I ever saw (yeah, I know... poor me, but his performance was great nonetheless), and the Eighth Doctor audios have made him one of my favorite Doctors.

Plus, I'm a sucker for a radio show. I blame The Shadow (although the pulp novel version was better than the radio version, but nevermind).

And very soon they'll be bringing back Tom Baker in the same way. Wooo!

I loved the TV Movie, and I'm sad that Big Finish's Divergent Universe plotline was cut in half by 2005's resurrection of the show. I've got a whole bunch of the radio plays, and my personal favorite's a tie between "A Death in the Family" and "The Natural History of Fear".

I'm usually all for crossovers, but seeing this has made me a little uncertain:

How would this be anything other than "slit your wrists because you life is complete awesome?"

Their missing waists concern me the most.

I feel nauseous just looking.
Dang perspective.
I wish I was Tom.

Granted, you are now Tom.

It took me way to long to find this thread.

Who (no pun intended) here has tried the Adventures in Time and Space RPG? I'm wanting to run some Doctor Who games, but I want to focus more on a classic series feel rather than a New Who feel. I'm thinking about modifying the GUMSHOE system to try for an investigative sci-fi feel.

I've been looking into possibly picking up a copy at some point. I have run a couple of Doctor Who games for Tom and David using Mutants and Masterminds previously which worked out pretty well. Though most of the storylines revolved around NuWho (which I'm now just catching up on the old starting with the Hartnell serials).
