A week or so ago BBC had a couple of the earliest episodes, one about a Dalik hibernation temple and another about the Mayans, of course both were in black and white. I really enjoyed them, I heard many of the original 1960 era episodes sadly are lost, it would be historical if for some reason they were found, restored and optionally digitally remastered and colorized on Bluray discs.
Like the remastered Star trek series which was very well done.
I will watch Doctor Who even if its over 40 years old and in black and white before I become a fan of the stupidly directed series “The Walking Dead” of which occasionally has a thread here on FR, beware the thread is guarded by a fanatic that won’t tolerate common sense discussions.
I remember watching the "Mayan" episode when it first aired. Nothing like feeling old, LOL!
As noted, they're doing a 50th anniversary series, focusing on one Doctor each month. January was William Hartnell, and they showed The Aztecs. February was Patrick Troughton, with Tomb of the Cybermen. March will be Jon Pertwee -- I'm going to place my bets on Doctor Who and the Silurians as the episode to show. April for Tom Baker (my guess: Genesis of the Daleks), May for Peter Davison (any guesses?), June for Colin Baker (again, I'm stumped), July for Sylvester McCoy (guessing The Curse of Fenric), August for Paul McGann (no options here, it must be the "TV movie" they made for Fox), September for Christopher Eccelson (The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances?), October for David Tennant (Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead?), November for Matt Smith (The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang?).
That leaves the December special to focus on the new 12th Doctor...
