old doctor who

don't you think the bbc should re-run the old doctor who again?
i rather enjoyed it when they did in 1999 on bbc two.
i know you can get them on DVD/VHS or see it on UK Gold but it would give young people a chance to realise there's been more than 2 doctors!

The trouble with the 1999 showings was that they did not attract a large enough aduience. However after the recent new series, Doctor Who has been brought to a whole new audience, which may now be intrestead in the classic Doctor Who. I don't think the show will achieve the necessary audience levels during prime time however, so i would say if they were to rerun the classic series it will probably be on BBC 2 on a Sunday lunchtime.

There was talk of repeating them when the 1st new series started. At this point, i think this would be a bad idea because people might associate it too much with the new series and go off it. But now that the series has gained a huge successful new base of viewers, and has been renewed for a new series, i don't see why they shouldn't repeat the classic series. Perhaps in the old cult slot, or maybe even an 11pm repeat like they did with Red Dwarf not so long ago.

I think it's a good idea. I wish they would repeat the whole Peter Davison era and I could relive my childhood lol. Surely having Doctor Who re reruns at whatever time even late at night would be a good thing?

Given the recent reappearance of The Avengers on BBC Four, could there be a chance of a showing there?

how do uk gold show the old doctor who now?
do they still do the start of the 4th doctor right thourgh until the end of the 7th doctor?
or do they do it diffrently now?

i'm sure ther still show 3rd doctors epsoides.

Last time I checked:

Weekend mornings: A chronological loop, running from the 3rd Dr's first story, up until the 8th Dr's one TV-movie, then back to the 3rd Dr's first story again.

Selected 1st/2nd Dr stories (those that are actually complete in the archive) sometimes get shown in random mid-week graveyard slots, too.

Well at the moment its the sixth doctor.

They do? I haven't seen any since about late 1998. Will be interesting if they've brought them back.

Has anyone got the current Dr Who schedules for Uk Gold. What time is it shown these days?

I can tell you right now:

saturday/sunday morning 7am onwards till it finshed.

I have not double cheak!

beacuse it all ways been/ always will be like that!
