Yes, but they're talking about the current production of the series. It was out of production for fifteen years or so, after all.

I have a love for British shows anyway.

Me too. It all started with Monty Python's Flying Circus and Are You Being Served? back when I was a kid. Benny Hill not long after, and also All Creatures Great and Small, based on the James Herriot books, which I'd already read and loved. And I began watching Doctor Who during the Tom Baker years.

Do you remember in the early 80's a show called "The Woodhouse Way" with Barbara Woodhouse, a grandmotherly dog trainer? I was saying "walkies"! to our dogs for years afterwards.

There was also a show called "The Goodies", I'm not sure now if they were a British comedy trio or a South African one. (Edit: British, and a long running BBC program - thanks Wikipedia!)

My whole family adores Monty Python, and we still spout off lines from the movies and skits from time to time.

I don't remember Woodhouse Way... I do remember there being a show called The Goodies but I don't really remember watching it.

If you get a chance to see the play Spamalot!, do it. We - Hoppy, Dad and me - saw it last year and it was awesome!

Kerist, there's a blast from the past! I grew up watching Barbara Woodhouse and everyone trying to immitate her.

Okay, here's a geeky little fan comic featuring all Ten Doctors. Well drawn and well written by a long time Dr. Who fan. I can't just keep this little gem to myself.

That is the archive page, so you can find all the installments easily.

Thanks.

Something new to get hooked on. *grumble* As if Megatokyo, along with Buck Godot and Girl Genius weren't enough to keep me busy..

And why do I have this sudden urge to break out GIMP and start colorizing all the strips that aren't colored? Laughing

Man, I'm on the edge of my seat with the wrap up of Season Four. The last episode shows this Friday in Britain, but we won't see it here in America until I think July 25th (not too long to wait, but still.)

There are rumors of this being David Tennant's last year, and I sure hope not. I think he's such a wonderfully quirky Doctor and I don't want him to go quite yet!!!
