Hooked on Who

For the last few months I’ve been completely addicted to Doctor Who — I bumped into an episode on PBS, and ended up watching all of the new series (all three seasons). I then watched Torchwood (the “adult” spinoff), and have even started watching the entire old series. To that end, I’m keeping a blog, http://hookedonwho.wordpress.com, to chronicle my efforts — and my impressions.

Overall, I’ve got to say a giant Thank You to two entities: 1) Peer to Peer networks, which provided me with the the second and third seasons of the new series which was just not available in the US yet, not to mention Torchwood which is only starting in a few weeks having aired in the UK months ago, and 2) YouTube, whose users diligently upload old serials that are only available on (hard to find) VHS tapes, making it possible to watch almost the entire old series.
