Doctor Who. Hope I'm not the only mason who watches it.

Great show! I decided two years ago that the Christmas special was going to be a family tradition = )

Awesome! I used to watch it with my dad when I was young. It's much better now. The Christmas episode is a great idea for a new tradition!

I have taken up finding Dr Who audios at the library. The BBC had (has?) a radio series is addition to the TV series. I find the script writing better on the audio episodes than the video episodes up to the point of the recent high budget reboot seasons. In this Dr Who goes against the general trend of high budgets coming with bad scripts and vice versa.

On TV I saw some of the old episodes and wasn't impressed with most of the scripting. Then I started watching the new reboot seasons and liked the tighter scripting. I'm a general SF fan more than a specific Dr Who fan. Niven, Robinson, Brin, LeGuin ...

What is it and where can I watch it?

It is a sci/fi series that the BBC has been producing off and on for years.
If you have Netflix they have the series available for streaming. You might like the more modern incarnation (start with the 2005 series) for the effects and writing style.

You can watch it on Netflix if you have that. But you are right, the old episodes were not very well written. The current ones since 2005 are great. They have several different writers.

I'm a huge Dr. Who, especially a Tom Baker fan. I was weened on BBC television as a kid. Monty Python, Red Dwarf, the Young Ones, Dave Allen, and the all time great Benny Hill. Still today, has had a major influence on my writing.

Careful. It'll make an old man out of you.

I watched this series through the 70s and of-times to this day. Must say, I've grown a bit old following the plot.

Fifty (count 'em) fifty years and still going. So much fun, so many puns. I think there should be a Tardis Lodge...

For us book SF fans, the World Science Fiction Convention is in San Antonio over Labor Day weekend. It's too late to get the media package to be able to vote on this year's Hugo awards. The last time I was to a fan convention of any sort was mid-1990s when Babylon 5 was still first run. I'm considering going on Sunday to see the award ceremony.

My son & I enjoy watching the new episodes on BBC America & the old ones on Netflix.
The new Doctor has some big shoes to fill this next season !!!!
