Some interesting points there, but remember that each incarnation of The Doctor is essentially a totally different personnality. Take a look at the very first Doctor and compare them to everyone who's come since - there are startling differences between each and every one of them.

That's true. I watched a few of the episodes just before and just after Tom Baker and the three of them were very different. I think the reason TB is, for so many people the one and only Doctor is that he was so goofy and I think that really appealed to the kids the show was aimed at.

I just noticed that the most recent incarnation of the Doctors tries the funny/serious thing too and, IMO, doesn't really pull it off very well.

I've watched every surviving episode and enjoyed them all (even if some were just silly). It's a real shame that most of the 1st and 2nd Doctors episodes have been destroyed, or only a part or two of each one remains.

I didn't know that. How did that happen?

Apparently old film could and was recycled. Nobody thought in the early days that keeping the original reels would be all that important, therefore....
If only they'd known back in the 60's how much of a cult classic it would become, how important it would be to so many worldwide.

Lucky for us here in Australia we have the National Film and Television Archive. Hopefully that should help preserve all of our locally produced material. Now if we could just find some worth preserving...

So, did any of our US posters watch Survivors? And if so, what did you think of it?
