Brits can take their grandkids to it and say, “See, honey. This is what Dr. Who was like before LGBTQPEDOQWERTY”.

I grew up with the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker episodes.

LOL!

I don’t have a 4k player. I but blu-rays.

The scene of the Daleks triggers me. Those scary fire extinguishers frighten me. I need a ‘safe place” until I get over the trauma of viewing this.

[Dr. Sivana]

I wonder if there will be a U.S. release. Maybe Fathom Events could run it.

I don’t have a 4k player. I buy blu-rays.

I have not made the jump to 4K either. For one, my 1080P TV is still going strong. Also, I have glaucoma in one eye and my wife has macular degeneration. I doubt we'd see much of an improvement over Blu-ray (I have a ton of those). When my TV dies I will make the jump to 4K.

Kino-Lorber released both Dr Who films on Blu-ray and they are on sale at their website for $9.99 each. I've never been that into them. I doubt that 4K would make a big difference for these movies. They were fairly low-budget and were not shot in one of the large formats like Technirama or Ultra Panavision.

I had no idea Peter Cushing played Dr.Who.

I liked himein the Hammer movies with Christopher Lee.

[Red Badger]

AFAIK, just these two movies...............

His cousin ‘What’ was in charge of the Death Star ‘When’ it exploded. He came to a sticky end. ‘Where’? in a galaxy far far away..... “ )

Dr Who was just fine until they went woke and turned him into a woman. Huge fan of Tennant and Smith, so so on Capaldi and no to the chick.

Those Daleks always looked like they were ready to “Sterilize!” you, or unplug your toilet.

[fuzzylogic]

Exactly the same sentiment here...wonder how many feel the same.

[Jamestown1630]

My husband had always been a big fan. Quit watching when they turned Dr. Who into a female.

[algore]

I had a friend named Howard who made some Dr Who shorts in the 80s with the Dr being female.

I am not a fan of the Cushing episodes, or any of the new Who after Tennant.

[Jamestown1630]

I think Tennant was my favorite. But I thought Capaldi was kind of interesting and different.
