Still can't get it alas. BBC Entertainment is two episodes behind but I was curious to see what a new writer and new Who would do with it. I did not like the more recent versions much. I think the acting is overdone and the stories too OTT, all of it too clever for its own good.
I grew up with Hartnell, Troughton and as a teenager, Pertwee. I remember when it first started my mother getting excited about it: 'Daleks!' she said. I remember being put off by the idea that was was a doctor, being a little scared of doctors. Even I thought it intriguing the TARDIS was bigger on the inside than out.
It was great fun every Saturday afternoon! Later on there was a great story with Pertwee on giant maggots, it was starting to get pretty gothic by then.
