I kno...I (heresy alert!) hated the original series. I know, I know...terrible to admit it. I thought it was fey drivel (a little too old for it when it broke first in the States midway through the Tom Baker days). The farting and wheezing and the squealing of the music made my head hurt and early BBC special effects were pretty hokey. My husband is a big fan, though, and lost no time hooking me on the "Doctor and Rose" series.<BR/><BR/>I, too, find it scary -- many bathroom breaks, no no, no need to pause the video -- and our daughter is equal parts compelled and freaked out by the monsters. If we had a couch, I think the girls would all be behind it.<BR/><BR/>It's Thursday where you are, so today's the day. Best of luck.bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257980437758725837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-49361219067681042002007-04-03T19:42:00.000+01:002007-04-03T19:42:00.000+01:00Thank you so much Bridgett.

I feel humbled that I did not pay more attention to what was indeed an auspicious occasion - the first in the latest Dr Who series. My son loved it. I will try to pay more attention next time, but the graphics do my head in, and to be honest I still find it just a little bit scary. And I'm 34. In the UK most people swop stories of hiding behind the sofa during Dr Who when they were little. I know I did :-)seahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006649663400552591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-62980836556571298352007-04-03T15:07:00.000+01:002007-04-03T15:07:00.000+01:00I may not envy the move, but I envy you the Dr. Wh...I may not envy the move, but I envy you the Dr. Who. People in the States have to wait for the DVD collections and get it all in a lump, after all the surprises have been blown by those who watched it six months ago. I'm sure there's a "story of my life" commentary in all that, but it would be too sad to utter.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you peace and strength of all different types in the next week.bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257980437758725837noreply@blogger.com
