Draco - Dr. Who, deal of the day 7-25-14

Thought of you when I saw this in the inbox this morning.

My wife and I watched it when it first aired on BBC America. Quite an eye-opening account of how Doctor Who came to be and how it almost didn't.

I'm just going to have to break down and watch this. I don't have BBC America (don't have a cable box in my room) so I can't watch new episodes. But I can downstairs. Dad watches them. I want to go back to the beginning and watch from the start. A lot of people say I shouldn't, that the "reboot" is the only one I really need to watch. But I'm a believer in seeing stuff the way other people did. Like, right now I'm watching Battlestar Galactica, from the 1979 season. Then I got Galactica '80 to watch. Then the movies. Then the "reboot", then Caprica. I like to see how it was originally so I can see what they changed.

Unfortunately, not all of them have been restored to DVD (and some have been lost possibly forever). There are several groups that are gathering episodes from whatever source they can find. In some cases, it is restorations from VHS from when the show was over-the-air broadcasted, in others, restored from super 8 even and married with found audio tracks.
