This may surprise you, but I’ve never actually seen an entire Dr. Who serial from beginning to end. I’ve only caught baffling bits on public TV my whole life. Well, this particular series has it all — awful video, cheap sets, a bug-monster made of painted bubble wrap, two scrappy Brit sidekicks who say things like “blimey!” and the best theme song in TV history. Plus this features the Doctor with the mad, curly hair and long scarf. Renting this off of Netflix was kind’ve an expermient to see if Dr. Who was for me — expect to see a lot more of ’em in the Journal to come.
