I wonder if they will get the rights to Red Dwarf...

Date: 2006-01-13 03:17 am (UTC)Ah, I remember growing up ith Dr Who and Star Trek in the sixties - still have a soft spot for both.
I remember
Date: 2006-01-13 02:42 pm (UTC)It may be a function of how old I was, but my "favorite" Doctor was Tom Baker. Loved his scarf. He seemed a bit shabby chic to me.
Having said that I am very happy to see Christopher Eccleston as Dr. Who. (He's a bit in Danny Boyle's troupe and some other random stuff - Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later)

Date: 2006-01-13 03:06 pm (UTC)Ah, but we did! In fact, in my hometown, they showed Doctor Who everynight at 10:30, Monday through Friday in episode format. At first they only showed Tom Baker era episodes, and then a run or two of Tom Baker/Peter Davidson episodes. But the last run in episode format showed ever existing story KLRN had, from An Unearthly Child right up to Caves of Androzani.
Then the BBC started charging an arm and a leg for reruns, and KLRN couldn't afford anymore episodes...
...until we asked how much it cost for the rights to One Last Run of Episodes in 1989. IT was really really really expensive, but the San Antonio fan club got together with one in Austin and another in Corpus Christi and raised the cash to pay for one run of the cheapest package Lionheart TV had to offer. The idea was to buy as many episodes for one airing we could afford, record them on VHS, and pass them around to make sure everyone had their own personal copies of the episodes. We managed to buy everything from Spearhead from Space up to Silver Nemesis. When KLRN saw what we were doing, they paid for the last season. :)
