See the first post in this thread . The new series started in the UK last Saturday; it's starting in the US next Saturday (17th Apr), so you'll be two weeks behind us.

I still remember seeing part of the story where Dr Who went up against Bertie Bassett (the Liquorice Allsorts mascot).

Yes, indeed - "Paradise Towers", with Sylvester McCoy. That season was probably the low point of the whole 26-year original run. Shocking scripts. The controller of BBC1 thought that it had become "too frightening" for children, and completely ruined the whole thing by demanding "scare-free" stories.

Hmm... something like the "campy" Batman years, I guess. (shiver)

I never saw a single McCoy episode... well, heck, I never caught Hartnell, Troughton, Colin Baker, and only saw one Davison (didn't like 'im). U.S. broadcasts were always hard for me to find in the years between Tom Baker and Eccleston.

McCoy did have some truly excellent stories; eg "Battlefield", and "The Curse of Fenric". It's a real shame that the series was cancelled after a season of very, very good stories; it had really picked up from the low point of a couple of years previously.

I did NOT "attack someone's post." Someone claimed to be a fan of the A-Team. I made a joke by rephrasing a couple of catch phrases from the A-Team. Poster did not catch the joke. I told what phrases I was basing my comment on. Poster still did not get joke. I APOLOGIZED for causing the misunderstanding. At no point was that an attack.

Last night's episode - the 2nd of the new series - was absolutely excellent. If this is an indication of the standard of the new series, we're in for a treat!

For those of us less worried about IP than you, the new episodes start a couple of hours after they aired in the UK. In HD.
