My PBS station finally started re-airing Classic Who!

It started with Robot, which is awesome, only the first one they showed was Part 2. (I really wanted to see the regeneration and the wardrobe costume part, as well as "Why is a mouse when it spins?" xd )

I get to watch one a week, only they're mostly multi-part episodes, and 30 minutes each... which is sometimes more frustrating to wait for but so worth it!

I don't mind as long as they continue showing episodes in order. xD If they jump around a lot I'm gonna complain to whoever to fix it. confused
I'll probably put something in here every Sunday after I've seen the episode.

So.. what about you all? You have/had it aired? And what do you like best/least about the Classic format of more multi-part half-hour episodes?

Some PBS stations are picking up Dr. Who again? Cool! Lucky you.

I remember when I used to watch it on the local PBS station in Chico, CA. They aired the edited-together versions once a week; the average story was 90 minutes (4 episodes). I'm surprised that they're showing the individual 23 min episodes for you once a week; at that rate, you're only going to go through about a story per month.

Hehe, I figured that out once I looked at the lineup of episodes. xD

At least there's no commercials! smile

Lucky... ours was broadcasting all of Nine's episodes for a while, but they stopped.

I wish they would do Classic Who... I'd love to see some more of the old episodes.

...I'll have to check their schedule obsessively from now on. xD;
