Doctor Who (TV Series 1963–1989)[views:11891][posts:58]_______________________________________ [Nov 27,2010 11:47pm - the_reverend ""] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056751/ I used to watch it on PBS as a kiddo... creeped the fuck out. now I'm starting from episode 1. I think the download of the series is 270GB. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 27,2010 11:50pm - the_reverend ""] 759 files... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_serials |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 12:14am - DestroyYouAlot ""] A lotta the early ones are just plain fucking gone - the BBC used to wipe old tapes and re-use'em. It's only by sheer luck (and the actions of one quick-thinking BBC employee) that the ENTIRE Monty Python run escaped the same fate. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 12:48am - the_reverend ""] yeah, they say that there are "recreations" of the old episodes. IDK what that means. I can't wait to watch the 1963's episodes. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 12:54am - the_reverend ""] the episode where the dis-corporal hand is crawling around the sand pit and when it touched you, destroyed you: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/handoffear/ used to scare the crap out of me. |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 1:46am - narkybark ""] Weird that you'd post this, I've been working through the revival series... I think only the newest season is worth it though, so many clunkers otherwise |

I can't wait to watch the 1963's episodes. I know the BBC recorded a good number of the lost episodes as radio productions. The Genesis of the Daleks is with Tom Baker is the best television I've ever watched. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 1:17pm - SkinSandwich ""] Haha, i loved the old Dr. Who episodes on PBS when I was a spud. Remember these fuckers? The Zygons... Haha [img] |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 1:18pm - SkinSandwich ""] Damn.... |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 1:18pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] That sucks. The only 3 seasons I would be interested in watching again (4 if you count Tom Baker) are the ones missing some 100+ episodes. I'm amazed this stuff is all missing. I mean, I watched it on PBS from the very first episode in the mid-80's. If they stopped destroying tapes in '78, where are all the copies that PBS had? |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 2:10pm - the_reverend ""] And tom baker is the doctor that I knew as a kid. I can't wait to watch all these again. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 4:50pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Nope. I definitely saw all of the missing episodes, including the regeneration of all three of the first doctors. From the linked site, one of those is most definitely among the missing. Tom Baker was always most popular, but the very first doctor was my favorite. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 4:51pm - RichHorror ""] I was about to post the link to the site that has every episode ever streaming, but it seems as of today he's taken his site down and is selling the URL. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 5:03pm - BlackoutRick ""] Yeah, I used to watch this show. The hand one definitely brought me back. The end credits were the best. It was like a spinning round tunnel. |

While I'm watching these, if the story is lacking cause of the missing episodes, can I have a bushel of what you were/are smoking? |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 6:08pm - the_reverend ""] And Tom Baker is the one I grew up with cause he was the one on when I was watching the how. |

At least I saw them, and seems like you never will. Nyah Nyah Nyah bitter man. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 8:39pm - the_reverend ""] I believe tha you think that you saw them. It is unfortunate that reality doesn't hold that up as I would love to have seen them. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 8:52pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I definitely without ANY doubt have seen the transformation of all 3 first doctors. To the point, actually, that I recall how annoyed I was at the second doctor when they panned in on his new face at the end. I was a huge fan of the first doctor and was incredibly sad he was gone. I also definitely without any doubt saw all of the first Auton and Dalek shows, which are also listed as missing. This was a favorite show of mine back then, even to the point that I read a ton of the books as well. "Lionheart also offered stations the choice between the standard 25-minute episodes, or a longer version that some stations termed Whovies. These "omnibus editions", or, "movie versions" as they were also known, edited multi-part serials into a single, feature-length film, by cutting out the opening and closing credits, as well as the recap of the cliffhanger, between episodes. (Some edits were clumsy, particularly during Davison-era stories that frequently would have scenes interrupted by partial credit sequences, or feature the sudden appearance of the "electronic scream" sound effect that usually accompanied cliffhangers). This was the most common format used for PBS broadcasts of the series in the 1980s and 1990s. " These "Whovies" are what I remember watching for the most part in the mid 80's. However, I also remember previous runs on PBS before that that were terribly out of order and primarily featured Baker era stories. It's like they started it in the middle, stopped, and went back to the beginning and ran it all in order. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 9:04pm - RichHorror ""] Yeah, until way later I thought Tom Baker was the only Doctor Who ever. Thank you internet. bennyhillifier |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 9:49pm - the_reverend ""] @rich Yeah, I was too young to under stand the whole multi-doctor thing @arrowhead: I have no clue what episodes are missing as I haven't watched this show since I was under 10 and all. Looking at the episode guides means nothing to me and I only vaguley remember the doctors changing, but it's cool and all that you think you saw something that hasn't existed since befoe you were born and a world for of docto who fans have been in the last 21+ years unable to find in any form. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 10:44pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] the_reverend said: but it's cool and all that you think you saw something that hasn't existed since befoe you were born and a world for of docto who fans have been in the last 21+ years unable to find in any form. 1) I was most assuredly born before these tapes were wiped. They stopped in '78, I was born in '76. 2) It would have been more than 21+ years ago I saw this. I'm glad you find it more likely that I'm wrong about seeing a show than it is that a wikipedia page might be incorrect. I read the same wiki article you did, with all it's links. I'm also befuddled as to how it may be, but there are absolutely episodes on that missing episode list that I have seen, such as the pilot and the last with the first doctor. It's like someone telling you you're wrong about seeing the final episode of M.A.S.H. when you can 100% remember the show, cast, plot, and even where you saw it and who you were with. I'm far more likely to believe that instead of me being a big fat liar, that the local PBS affiliate might have some broadcast copies long forgotten lost somewhere in their archive. New episodes have surfaced as recently as 2005 according to the wikipedia, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if they still had some. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 11:27pm - the_reverend ""] it also said that they started bulking in 1972. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 28,2010 11:29pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] It also says the boston affiliate bought syndication in '77. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 29,2010 12:04am - the_reverend ""] so after 5 years of deleting tapes, the boston affiliate bought syndication rights. this is like that titanic vitage film you tried to sell me recorded with a cellphone. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 29,2010 12:19am - the_reverend ""] Damn it, I typed this long thing about licensing and ten my phone rebooted. Anyhow, from what the wiki said, they didn't hve the licensing for the b/w stuff in 1977 so that wouldn't have been part of the syndication. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 29,2010 8:35am - DestroyYouAlot ""] I heard the early episodes were all delivered by tank. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 8:36am - the_reverend ""] makes sense due to all the time traveling. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 9:52pm - saxlbeckett ""] The latest series of the re-launch was actually kind of cool. Anyone else seen it? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 9:57pm - RichHorror ""] I did, before that website got taken down. I was into it. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 30,2010 10:04pm - the_reverend ""] I'm going to start with the older episodes and move forward. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 1,2010 7:54am - DestroyYouAlot ""] I've watched a few of the relaunch episodes - dug what I've seen so far. The one where K-9 shows up had me D'AAAAWWWing. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 1,2010 8:13am - the_reverend ""] This is about the original sseries. If you want to talk the new series start your own damn thread! |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 1,2010 8:20am - DestroyYouAlot ""] I have Genesis of the Daleks with Stavros and Tom Baker on VCD - gotta watch that shit later. My roommate is super into the relaunch shit and has never seen a single original episode. Shit's crazy. |

| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 11:23am - the_reverend ""] oh no... my download is about to be killed. i've been downloading since this date and I'm only at 6.7% |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 11:57am - eyehatehippies ""] The current Dr. Who fucking blows. I watched this show religiously as a child. I remember seeing the last Tom Baker episode before they switched even. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 1:37pm - sxealex ""] when i said current it wasnt the new guy yet that guy sucks |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 2:35pm - narkybark ""] so mistaken |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 2:39pm - arkquimanthorn ""] i just can't get into the new ones. it's entertaining for a while but it's so campy and ridiculous, and i still have more star trek to watch. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 24,2011 12:15am - the_reverend ""] I'm starting to watch s01e01 An Unearthly Child (aka 100,000 BC, The Tribe Of Gum) |
