After seeing the subject I was almost sure it is another TV spammer, and I had banhammer ready.

Then imagine my reaction to a thread named 'Girls!'.

it seems despite zoobies fervent well wishes I still have yet to get better and remain a very horrible person.

Shouldn't this thread be in the Sci-Fi forum?

I watched them when they first came out on b/w TV as a very young child.

I was a bit bored by most of the 1st episode, which was mostly just mysterious, but it ended with a cliff-hanger and the screaming lead-in to the (original) intoxicating theme music. But then I found the 3 caveman epsiodes rather boring and frustrating. The next 12(?) episodes after that were the original dalek encounter on Skaro, and had me hooked by the end of the 1st of these. That must the first and only time a dalek used its ray gun (on poor hapless Ian, iirc) without it being fatal. Seems like daleks ever since then have their weapons permanently set on "kill".

Sometimes I wish my memory could be temporarily wiped and that the modern Dr Who production team would re-make the Skaro encounter properly with modern technology.
