No, but I do have a working TARDIS. Unfortunately, the chameleon circuit works and I can't remember what it looks like.

now does the transdimentional stabilizer hook into the flux capasitor, or is it the other way round?

:soda:

Are you sure you aren't confusing the Tardis with the WayBack machine?

Wasn't the flux capacitor in the De Lorean in Back to the Future?

At least they use some down to earth actors.

Click.

I kinda wish I could watch the show. No cable. That's ok. Don't watch much tv.

My sister and I use to watch Jon Pertwee (1970 - 1974) as Dr. Who everyday after school at 4:00 PM. Loved it! We never saw a different Dr. Who, although The Master was played by both Roger Delgado and Anthony Ainley. These two looked so similar that, at first, I thought they were the same person.

The new Doctor Who series began on the BBC last Saturday night at 7pm, approximately 9 million viewers watched it. This is excellent viewing figures for a programme in the UK. Guess what? I missed it and did not even record it, I suppose when they repeat it I can look forward to it.
I have watched all the Doctor Who episodes since I was a boy in my first kilt.
I believe somewhere after the 5th or 6th Doctor, the series lost the plot but certainly with Christopher Eccleston and now the brilliant David Tennant (from Scotland) its now an excellent series.
Only regret is that Billie Piper has left the show, I thought the chemistry between her and David Tennant was totally absorbing (Rose Tyler,you will always be in my heart)
Always thought that Frazer Hines who played Jamie, the kilted assistant of Patrick Troughton's Doctor Who was one of the best assistants but perhaps I am biased because he wore a kilt!

Is the producer of Doctor Who, his surname is Howard-Davies, can't remember his first name, the son of John Howard-Davies who produced the masterpiece 'Fawlty Towers' with John Cleese and was he the same John Howard-Davies who played Tom Brown in the 1948 film 'Tom Brown's Schooldays'. Always been interested to know about this or am I talking rubbish?

I don't think that Russell T Davies is actually related Jimmy.

He is plain Davies, not Howard-Davies

But you are right about JHD who as a child actor not only played Tom Brown but perhaps more famously Oliver Twist in the classic David Lean version with Alec Guinness as Fagin. He went on to work on the other side of the camera.
