Welcome to Gaia! ::

I heard a rumor it was coming back, so I went right to the UNC-TV website & asked them. I got a reply today!



So it's OFFICIAL! xd heart whee
That's the day before Mother's Day, all you folks who can get UNC-TV!
(some parts of neighboring states should get it too, like VA & SC)--
Saturday, May 12th at 11pm!

OMG I so wish! I doubt it though.. probably gonna start with Nine.
I get that station and I'm estatic!

Well that's lame. I mean, what's the point of showing Eccleston again when people can just pick up the DVDs?

I miss having Doctor Who on PBS. I used to have a handful of Pertwee, and nearly all the episodes from Tom Baker through Sylvester McCoy on crappy VHS copies (for some reason they skipped over Brain of Morbius... I think it accidentally got dropped during one of the pledge drives). Lost those a while ago during a move, unfortunately.

...I remember being annoyed that they never showed any of the Hartnell or Troughton stories. They must have had something against B&W.

My PBS station used to show Doctor Who on Saturday nights in compilation format (all the episodes of a single story edited together). It was usually followed by some short astronomy show hosted by Jack Horkheimer. I vaguely remember the show being called 'Star Gazer', but according to wikipedia at the time I was watching it (1989-1992) the show's name was 'Star Hustler'. Star Hustler... yeah, I can see why they changed that name. whee

Same here.
Gotta run off to school, see ya later! gonk

I bet BBC have it expensive to get the Classic Series. But maybe if we show them we're still out here & want Who, they might start buying it again! biggrin
There used to be at least one Who fan working at UNC-TV...and in it's "golden age" they went ALL OUT. I've probably raved about it here before.
They'd have it in the evening, 5 days a week--and that would be showing all episodes in order. Say it's up to Davison, for this example. And then it also showed at night, about 11:30, 5 niights a week--also showing all the episodes in order. They started doing that some time later, so it's at a different point in the continuity...say Pertwee. And every Saturday (barring some special programming that may cancel it) there was an entire adventure editted together, also showing all in order--this one, say, at Tom Baker. Ah, man...those were the days! heart We'll never see that kind of exposure again.

Oooh that's gonna be so cool! Now my friends have an accessible Doctor Who outlet! blaugh

Yeah, I just wish I knew more people who would sign it, much less know what I'm talking about. But I will try and get an informative email sent in to find out if VA PBS is gonna get it..
