  2. I don't recognize this title. Nor the photo. I shall go look it up to see if I can recognize the episode. There's been so many Dr. Who's as we've seen them all the way back to the early 1960's. This is not one of those as its in color. Happy FRiday!

    1. We bought DVDs back in the day lol and now we can see some on HBO Max. We don't tend to re-watch them very often. I'm looking forward to seeing who the next Doctor will be.

    1. We went so long with no access at all. I'm glad they're more available now.

  9. I wanted to order "Dr. Who" as DVD. Classic or new one, can you - did I ask you before, can you give a tip? I didn´t grow up with that.
    I grew up with Tom Sellek´s "Magnum" and now they launch a new one - I simply refuse to see that (I´m old and no one can replace Tom Sellek!).

    1. My favorite Doctor was the 4th one, because that's the first one I saw. These days I'd suggest starting with the modern ones, maybe even with Eccleston who was the first of the modern Doctors:
