Okay, my Fourth Doctor download has been going for 19 days now, and I'm still only at 64%. At least there's 40+ seeders online most of the time, so I know it'll finish eventually.

IT FINISHED! IT FINISHED!! WOOHOO!!!

Gonna take me six months to watch all seven seasons...

And I've got the Fifth Doctor and Sixth Doctor compilations downloading now.

Kids keep complaining this computer's so slow

Haha Awesome!

Now keep seeding

I grabbed all 4 seasons of the NEW doctor who as well. I watched the first part of the library episode that was on TV and had to to see what happened in the second part.. Garbed all the other episodes while I was at it.

I found Blink to be an extremely scary episode...

An' yeah, the new seasons are good, although I didn't like Eccleston as the Doctor. Tennant plays him much better.

Now, are you willing to download and watch all the Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures episodes? (them's the spinoffs...)

Y'know I do want to check out Torchwood.

Being a longtime Whovian I have to say that the new series has greatly impressed me, both with its dedication to the existing universe and way of telling stories and for its way of somehow hauling Dr. Who into the 21st Century.

I thought both Tennant and Eccleston were fine Doctors and I'm quite interested to see how the BBC will replace Tennant when he leaves.

So far this has been (I think) the most successful run of Dr. Who since the Tom Baker Era.

Damn you, you had to mention the spin offs, of course there happened to be an ad for them in the 4th season. Started watching Sarah Jane, and am waiting for Torchwood to download.

I do find it interesting that Dr. Who is a prime time targeted show, Sarah Jane is a kids targeted show and Torchwood is a late night mature targeted show.

Also seem like the Sarah Jane episodes are ways 2 part episodes as it is only a 30 min show.

I wouldn't call that just an ad, Lazy. There were direct tie-ins, I'd say...

In the downloads I have one of them included a TV spot / Ad

The new actor for Doctor Who has been announced, it's gonna be Matt Smith.

Quote from: http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/chooses+young+newcomer+11th+doctor/1143481/story.html
Lead writer and executive producer, BAFTA-award winning writer Steven Moffat, who is taking over from Russell T. Davies, said it took a special actor to play the doctor, a role first filled in 1963 by William Hartnell.

[..]

"You need to be old and young at the same time, a boffin and an action hero, a cheeky schoolboy and the wise old man of the universe," said Moffat.

"As soon as Matt walked through the door and blew us away with a bold and brand new take on the Time Lord, we knew we had our man."

I still wish Tennant would've done three or four more seasons...
