It's Crunchy. It's Nice.

Doctor Who has been a guilty pleasure
for many for the last 20 or 30 years this side of the ocean even
though it was a British institution during the same time. It’s nice
to have the show back, and looking better we could have ever hoped
it would.
About 23 years ago, I happened to
stumble on the British cult series DOCTOR WHO on public television
and got instantly hooked. The show is legendary in many countries
but always had kind of niche in the US. After 27 seasons it was
finally put to rest by the BBC a dozen years ago and ressurrected
in 2005. In three short years it's become one of the flagship
dramas on the BBC, won numerous awards, spawned two spin-offs and
is one of the prime-time anchor drama's on the Sci-Fi channel in
the U.S.
The show is going on a one year "hiatus" of sorts now in which 3 or 4 specials will be produced before the 5th series of the new run begins in 2010. I guess that gives me plenty of time to examine and rant about the first 4 season of the revamped program.
I’ll take a look at the final few episodes of Series 4 of the new series and revisit the classic as well.
