CLASSIC Doctor Who Essentials

Some DVD players can play it fine without doing anything. Most region 1 settop players will play PAL but not perfectly. You would have to do some research on your particular DVD player. Most can be hacked to play all regions. Your DVD ROM or burner in your computer shouldn't care what region it is or whether it's PAL or NTSC. There are several software packages that can copy the DVD while making it region free so that you can play it in any region player.

You can't buy classic doctor who in seasons, except for the Key to Time and maybe Trial of a Timeloard. Most stories are around $20. A little less for a one disk set, a little more for two disk sets. I have no idea how many pounds that is.

 

Doctor who DVD's are outragiously overpriced in the U.S., but thats the only way to get them legally. The VHS's are priced fair, but these were relesed ages ago and the quality is not up to todays standards.

The first 2 doctors have hardly ever been shown here in the uk on tv, just the odd episode. I have recently started to go through hartnell and troughton.

 

One of the first mpg files i ever downloaded was episode 1 of the krotons and it is only the last few days that i have seen the final outcome.

 

The first doctor who episode that i actually remember hiding behind the sofa for was Meglos, somehow it scared the hell outta me.

 

I must say however that Pertwee is my fav doctor but i love them all and long may it continue. I do wonder when/if we will get a female doctor as this could be a possibility. But time is running out for the doctor and if the new doctor doesnt stay long we will soon be at that 13th life i suppose he could be given an extra life as a reward or something.

 

Well thats all i have to say, The krotons has a special place for me as it was the first mpg i downloaded with napster no less, some time ago.

Ya Meglos was one of the best of the last Tom Baker stories, the cactus-face was pretty well done for the time, hardly saw any latex joins lol.

 

As for the Doctor becoming a woman...ooooh I dunno, I dont think were far enough into the 21st century to push that one. And who exactly would give the Doctor an extra life as a reward, kinda hard since his civilization is dead. But to answer my own question, somethings probably going to happen to somehow bring the TimeLords back and its probably got something to do with Rose being Bad Wolf, right at the point when she said 'I give life...' and we saw Captain Jack spring back to life. If that power was of the Tardis/Time Vortex, who knows, maybe powerful enough to reach the Time Lords. Thats how I'd do it anyhoo.

 

Glad you enjoyed The Krotons. Were also discussing Pertwees new stories on the stickies up top! :)

The beauty of Dr Who is that the Tardis can travel through time and space. Given this it could be possible that the doctor travels back to Gallifrey in a time when the Timelords do still exist and is given the extra life. Of course he/she wont be able to prevent the extinction of his/her own race because events in time cannot be altered. I hope it doesnt come to it though.

 

I do hope that rose tyler isnt the bad wolf, but i must admit I would love to see her animal side ;)

 

I will of course follow the thread to the Pertwee years :)

I take it you havent seen series one yet then! Ah, well plenty spoilers on this forum if you dont want to know what happens in series one, starting very soon on US Sci-Fi channel.

 

EDIT: I just read your post in the Favourite Eccleston story thread and it looks like you did see that story...hmm, why would you say you hope Rose isnt the Bad Wolf, did ya miss that scene or what? ;)

Just a bit Megalith hehe. She did say she was the Bad Wolf though, when she came out the TARDIS and was all high on the time vortex juice or something. Have we seen the last of The Bad Wolf thing, maybe, hard to tell with RTD! Since she brought Captian Jack back to life and hes about to star in Torchwood, maybe therell be some explanation.
