Is anybody else here as excited as I am about the new series of Doctor Who? Most of the Flans here seem to be American and I dont know if the series isbeing screened there. Here in Britain there is a definite air of anticipation.
I managed to see one of the episodes being filmed in cardiff. Didn't see that much, but I saw the TARDIS being constructed and Billie Piper running to her car. Ever since then I have been really excited about the new series.

It's really cool that the guy doing Dr.Who is a Buffy fan. He was talking about Buffy in SFX the other week and I was watching another program of his Mine all mine and one of the characters said that something was 'like something something out of Buffy'. His writing's quite Joss-like.

I remember sitting down to watch the Dr.Who omnibuses on bskyb on Sunday afternoons with my family when I was littler so I'm really looking forward to it too.

I wonder if with Billie Piper being from Swindon we'll get some episodes filmed here but I doubt it. That would be cool though!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm stoked they're finally bringing it back! About gorram time! :) No idea how, if, or when it'll screen in the US. Might have to rely on some UK know-how to get a peek at it. ;)

I grew up on it as a kid...watching it on PBS.

Yup, teaser trailers are now running and excitement just keeps growing for the show's return. March 26th cannot come soon enough. I just hope everyone will sit down and watch it at the Serenity convention.

You can tell from my email dugwho@excite.com that I'm a long time Who fan. We're planning a Who-watching session this weekend, oddly enough. From what I've heard there is no current distributor in the US. WWW.gallifreyone.com is the best source for news.

If they do as good a job finding a US home for the show as they did the two times they FREAKIN' FORGOT to re-sign distribution contracts for the BBC bookline in recent years I'd say there's little hope. The second time the downtime on this side of the pond was a year and a half. I have my fingers crossed for a better effort on the show.

I'm very exciting about it! I just wish we'd get it in the US. It might take forever before we see it here!

OOh! Thanks for listing that site. I've been looking for an informative Dr. Who site...other than BBC.CO.UK

Interesting note (I'll probably have to post this on general discussions, too) - as my wife and I were watching lots o' Dr. Who (she's indoctrinating me as a Dr. Who fan), we came to Warriors Gate. And what should I see but Serenity!

Seriously - look at the ship made of 'white dwarf' hull material - the exterior (and some of the interior, for that matter) shots look very reminiscent of our good ol' Serenity. Got the whole elevated bridge/neck thing going, and a nice bulky cargo bay section. I just posted it in the Blue Sun room - here's the location:

I'm sure Joss was a Dr. Who fan when the fourth Doctor was actually airing, or shortly thereafter, and the writing style at times is quite similar. Some of the quick, comic lines are very like the Whedon style.
