Multiple episodes!


I thought we would get this all at once, but they decided to give it to us week by week.

As God intended it to be seen.


No seriously, Classic Who is best watched with a break between episodes. If the viewer can't remember the story from last week(or yesterday if you are watching it that way) they have other problems. Having a week to mull over how the story is playing out and speculate as to how it WILL play out is part of the fun of serials.

I noticed that the BBC America channel has 35 minute time slots for this program. At least they are showing the complete episodes even though they have today's commercial breaks. The original 1960's story was made in a time when there were fewer commercials. I prefer watching an entire Dr. Who story at one time as it is on the DVD's, although the cliffhangers are kind of interesting. :) It's great to have the unbroken continuity.

The BBC didn't have commercials at all back then, or now.

WHAT!? A nonprofit public broadcasting corporation doesn't have commercials?! Say it ain't so. Next you will be telling me the programs are made on a limited budget.

It would help if they used a Flash program that at least looked better than a typical fan-flash one would see on Newgrounds circa 1999, lol.

"The BBC didn't have commercials at all back then, or now."

As I remember from seeing the original episode back in the sixties, the show show was aired all at once and the commercials came on at the end.

BBCA gifted its viewers Christmas morning 8:30 to noon the entire six episodes, with plenty of commercials (50 min) scattered throughout.
