It brought a tear of joy to my eye., which I had to wipe with my 10 meter scarf.

That was pretty sweet.

Dancing Ood, and a Sontaran with rhythm.

Hopefully, these things will show up in the show at some point.

that was amazingly cool in all sorts of ways.

I hate that song so much, I will actually avoid watching this. And those are 3 fantastic actors I am ignoring in one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite shows of all time. That is the extent of my hate.

And now I have it in my head. I shall now kill the lot of you.

This has inspired me to go to Goodwill and find a Doctor Who costume. Need some Chuck Taylor's though. That might be hard to come by.

That was cool. Nice seeing Elizabeth Sladen in it, but golly, she was thin.

What next, an Ood to Doctor Who.

Everyone is biased toward their own Doctor. The wife is all Pertwee, all the way, where I'm a McCoy fan, quite independently of my feeling about Ace (fist, angry god, &c) Somehow, we make it work.

Agreed, each of them is great in their own way. I'm enjoying 11th.

By singing you mean lip synching right?

But those are just One Stars, to get Hi-Tops just go to any mall that has a Hot Topic or Journeys, heck even Foot Locker usually has the basic colors in their "retro" section.

There is a second video if you click the second picture underneath. It ramps the awesome up to 15.

I'm new to the Who but I've enjoyed all of the Doctors I've watched so far. I do think Tennant is the one I'd want to me the most.

"Oh that's rude. is that the sorta man i am now? Rude. Rude and not Ginger?"

If that didn't make you smile, I don't even know what would. Good fun. I'm not a giant watcher of the show (I know, I know) -- have all that lot played roles/made cameos on the show? Even The Legit Proclaimers?

I've always wanted to get into that show, but I worry that if I start at the beginning, it might take a couple of decades to catch up...

Don't worry. After 26 years you can take a 16-year break.

Unless you care about "classic" doctor who, just start from Matt Smith's take on the role from a year or two ago. You can always backtrack more if you want to.

You could also start from the beginning of "new who" from 2005, but (in my opinion) there are a lot more duds than winners in these episodes. And I thought that many of the episodes during Tennant's run to be agonizingly bad.

YMMV.

This may sound strange. But this video, more than anything anyone has ever told me about this show, makes me want to watch this show. TO PIRATEBAY!

I just started the 2006 series about a month ago. Not that I have anything for comparison, but Chris Eccleston kicks ass. I think I'm gonna have a hard time liking anyone else.

// also have to finish The Wire finally - 5 episodes to go
// then Who, then the new Teen Wolf (don't judge me)
// then Breaking Bad
// then a letter-writing campaign to restart Clone High

For the 10th Doctor you could probably find pre-made costumes at this point.

The 11th Doctor is a lot easier to get stuff for especially if you are not going for exact replica. Go to goodwill and find some black jeans, tweed looking jacket, and cheap button down undershirt. Any black shows can make up for the nice shoes the Doctor actually wears. The most difficult items to find are: bow tie and suspenders (at reasonable prices). If you plan ahead you can get good deals online.

The most expensive item I had to buy when putting together my costume was the sonic screwdriver.

That was great... until it got to Sarah Jane and the Brigadier. Then I started crying. God how I miss Sarah Jane and the Brigadier.

Having just joined for the new shows I was checking out some of the old shows on Netfliks streaming.

I was kind of shocked at how disrespectful the companions were towards the Moe Howard looking Doctor. He was explaining something and and one of them said, "Enough of your jibber-jabber!"

Also, enough of these young doctors that companions get the hots for. I'd like to see another wise old man doctor. Someone wise and old and maybe still a little sexy and dangerous.

Maybe Mick Jagger would be an interesting doctor.

I think 10's run with Donna was great. Martha was good. Hated Rose with the passion of 1000 suns. She's like herpes, she never goes away.

Donna=great. Martha=good, but better after she left. Rose=that video was probably the first time she struck me as cute.

Didn't see him. I've watched it twice now. You're not talking about Bernard Cribbins are you? He's very much alive.
