"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Could you send me the Sarah Jane Adventures, too, please? I missed those.

Thanks. Received.
I only watched the whole series for the first time this year, and I've gotta say, I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed them. Yes, at times, the plot's get VERY "childrens-y", but there are times when it was surprisingly dark, especially one that involved a clown that kidnapped children. I really enjoyed it, overall, and I was kind of disappointed that I didn't watch more of it sooner...but at the time, also glad that I had so many Elisabeth Sladen episodes left to watch. Sadly, not anymore.

bears are getting more and more interested...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

Time to sit down and watch the live broadcast of The Sound of Music with my daughters - the things I do for my children! See you in three hours!
I wouldn't mind re-watching The Sound of Music myself.

Yeah, I'm not surprised, actually. Even over here, we had to wait a full year before a season was released on DVD, and by then, the next season had already started. Hopefully you can track it down.
Watching Right Now: not just one of my favourite zombie films but also one of my favourite British films too: Shaun of the Dead on blu-ray, with pizza. Bliss.

I can't complain. When I was young, the thing to do in America if you wanted to watch Doctor Who was to go out and try to find a science fiction fanatic collecting VHS recordings. If you could, they'd gladly show all they had to anyone with any interest. Later, early internet usegroups let you introduce yourself more easily, but you still had to walk it to the VCR. If you saw people posting about a club in a different state, all that did was make you jealous. As long as I live, I'm sure I will never get over streaming video.
There's an interesting special feature on the Tom Baker serial Revenge of the Cybermen DVD about how fans back in the early 80s would do everything to track down pirate copies of stories that people had recorded off the telly. It was a great special feature that gave a clear idea of how near impossible it was to watch stories from previous Doctors back then (repeats were very rare even in the UK, and all most fans knew of Doctors like Hartnell and Troughton were the novelisations of stories by Target), and a nice reminder of just how lucky we are these days to get so much Doctor Who so easily. Can't say I'm surprised that things were more difficult for Whovians in America.

Back in the '80s as a kid my experience was watching PBS and late at night this weird sci-fi show would come on called Doctor Who. I distinctly remember watching some Peter Davison eps during that time.

Nice! For me, watching Jon Pertwee's face appearing out of some super trippy shit to the wonderful sound of "oooooo-weeee-ooooooooooooooooooooooo!" is practically one of my earliest childhood memories, thanks to early 90s BBC repeats.

Seems so, but really I can't say what the UK part was like. Fascinating topic though... I'll have to hit our DW thread if I ever get around to that feature. Thanks for mentioning it.
This post is just calling for a "Like." Perhaps I should talk to that bot for tdt+FB ...

Watching Right Now: Blackadder's Christmas Carol. This has pretty much become essential yearly Christmas viewing for me.
