@angleonashton: Another option is http://www.bigfinish.com. New stories with the classic cast and better than anything you will find from the last 3-4 seasons.

I apologize for the delay in my response. I was in Mississippi with a disaster relief team due to an ice storm. I have a VIZIO TV. On the remote, there is a “watch free” button. That will take you to the free channels. There you will find a Classic Doctor Who channel. The shows are not played in order, and some are shown more oft…[Read more]

some eps and entire stories have gone. Film was expensive in the past and the bean counters didn’t seem to think twice before recording over it.
It was a different world. BBC I player has everything extant except (bizarrely) the first ever story… which is obviously important but (honestly) not particularly sparkling. The Dalek…[Read more]

Wilf is great. As is Donna’s interaction with her mum. Loved part 1. Part 2 dragged on.
Harold Saxon divides Whovians, especially those who adore Roger Delgado, but I think John Sim’s foul and irredeemable Master is wonderful. Especially his burger-van-lady ‘special’ burger. And ‘I LIKE you! I bet you’d taste great!’ The theme als…[Read more]

This was the usual eye-rollingly crazy RTD season closer… but a great season. I found the whole Osterhagen Key/exploding diamond/Davros in the cellar thing faintly ridiculous I’m afraid… that’s before we got to The Tardis towing Earth home. The metacrisis on the other hand was hilarious.
The ‘failed’ regeneration… The Doctor lose…[Read more]

Online… BBC Sounds does have audio Dr Who on ‘4 extra’… if you can get it. You may need to register. It might mean declaring a TV licence; in the UK, live broadcast is free to air; not sure about streaming, cos I’m in the UK. Or you may find audio books on libraries, then rip to mp3 for your phone? I haven’t checked You Tube but…[Read more]

winston replied to the topic The Sound of Drums / Last of the Time Lords
@angleonashton Hello! A big welcome to the site! The Doctor does age although it takes a long time. In Time of the Doctor the 11th stays in one place for a very long time and ages naturally. I can’t say more , Spoilers! You will get there.
I don’t think (although others do) that you have to watch classic to enjoy new Who but it will fill in so…[Read more]

Nu Who and Classic Who both went through highs and troughs. People carp about occasional Doctor lite eps, shipping and bad taste in the 9-10 era but it was consistently good. The end of seasons were mad. 11 & 12 showcased some amazing writing and performances but occasional quite indifferent eps too. I struggle with 13; a missed…[Read more]

The Doctor is known to regenerate as a result of trauma… 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13; poison/exposure to radiation… 3, 5, 10 (twice); forced regeneration or sacrifice… 2, 9, 14; and old age… 1, the War Doctor and 11.
But there have been occasions when The Doctor ages unnaturally within an incarnation… the thing you mentioned that The Maste…[Read more]
