Inside the Vault TARDIS: Doctor Who's Who
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

Inside the Vault = An intermittent string of weekend posts detailing aspects of my personal life.

Larry reminds me that it's time for a Doctor Who update.


The second season (or "series," as they say in Britain) was recently released, and while Christopher Eccleston deserves thanks and praise for successfully resuscitating the hibernating Time Lord, and while all tastes and preference are subjective, one simply cannot deny that David Tennant rocks!


Kip's favorite Doctors, in order:

1. David Tennant
2. Tom Baker
3. Peter Davison
4. Christopher Eccleston
5. William Hartnell
6. Jon Pertwee
7. Patrick Troughton
8. Sylvester McCoy
9. Colin Baker

Not Rated: Paul McGann, Richard Hurndall, Peter Cushing.

Diamond, meanwhile, was all giddy over the return of K-9 (a/k/a "the shooty dog-thing"):

Meanwhile:
TV shows like Doctor Who are expected to be available for download later this year after the BBC Trust gave initial approval to the BBC's on-demand plans.

Under the proposals, viewers will be able to watch popular programmes online or download them to a home computer up to a week after they are broadcast.
...
Full approval of the on-demand plans will follow a two month consultation. After that, the BBC will be able to launch its long-awaited iPlayer, a computer application which allows audiences to watch or download any programme from the last seven days.
You now have no excuse: Netflix, SciFi, Amazon or the BBC "iPlayer" ("iWho"?). So just watch it already!

They're sold out!

The Doctor Who Tardis USB Hub boasts four ports in which to plug your various gizmos. Simply plug in and you’re away. But here’s the good bit: every time you connect or disconnect a device, the blue light on the top of the Tardis flashes and that unmistakable de-materialisation ‘vworp, vworp’ sound starts sawing away at your lugholes. Thankfully it doesn’t actually vanish into the time vortex, so you can enjoy the classic grating din again and again by plugging in more devices or pressing the demo button.
Eh, it was an obsolete Type 40 model anyway.
