LOL! I still thought of Peter Davison as Tristan from All Creatures Great and Small. I couldn’t take him seriously as the Doctor.

Luckily i hadn’t seen it, so I consider Peter Davison as my doctor, he was the first one I remember watching as it aired (more or less, still had to wait for PBS). It was great when I got to meet him.

Yeah, I grew up watching Doctor Who on PBS. 🙂 We were always a couple of years behind England. I remember they kept playing the Fourth Doctor episodes because that’s all they had.

My mom said she was SO upset when the fourth doctor died. She didn’t want to like five, but eventually she came around

I’m so looking forward to it! 🙂 Are you watching the marathon on BBC America now? I just saw a commercial for two Tom Baker serials tomorrow morning.

I don’t have cable (hence why I download the episodes to watch). But I also grew up on Doctor Who and when I was in High School the local PBS station was playing Doctor Who more or less in order from the beginning so I expect a lot of “oh that’s familiar” when I watch classic who. And my parents literally had (probably still have) boxes of VHS tapes of episodes.
