“Check out Pluto TV for a 24 hour classic Doctor Who channel. Pluto TV is free online and is also available through Xfinity. https://pluto.tv/live-tv/doctor-who-classic";

As someone who is only interested in the Matt Smith/Amy Pond episodes, is it possible to scroll the entire schedule and determine day/time of specific episodes?

You forgot first sneering, hateful, middle-school female self-rightious-but-wrong, blank face scold.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Not that I’ve found. :(

That show has 24 episodes and a follow up season with the same. Watch the whole thing it’s some of the most engaging sci-fi you’ll ever see, and I say that as someone who read nearly everything Heinlein ever put to print.

I really liked the Matt Smith Amy Pond pairing. Good chemistry.

Show’s ratings not low enough?

I absolutely love British comedy...British dramas...British films. and i have from the early 60s.They make up at least half of my (fairly large) video collection.

But Doctor Who is something I could never warm up to.

Oh,well! Different strokes for different folks.

“Woke is broke, baby.”

I like it, will put it in the repertoire.

Brits pay a mandatory boob tube tax.

BBC gets paid anyway.

Seems like they are cycling the role on a shorter and shorter cycle. It shouldn’t be long until they get to a new person in the starring role every episode.

But isn’t it insulting to women and minorities that they don’t get as long in the roles as did the old white guy at the beginning?

Yep, the only conclusion is that the producers are bigots.

I found the entire Dr Who series to be excruciatingly boring...except for the Matt Smith/Amy Pond series.

[Buckeye McFrog]

To be totally accurate in a British show the doctor should be Pakistani.

I like the Smith/Amy episodes as well. It was interesting watching him grow into the role. He started out weak, but finished pretty well.

[cowboyusa]

It has been very good, after 3 bad seasons.

It's unclear whether the black female is an alternative universe Doctor.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Hopefully she is a lesbian transvestite to make it a complete transistion.

I hate modern life. Western Civilization is circling the drain so fast, it is not funny. I have no problem with a TV show featuring a brilliant black female doctor. Make one. Make some. I am sure there is a rich market for it. But you don’t destroy icons by radically changing them to what they were never intended to be. The left destroys everything it touches. Reverse Midas.

Puke.

No room for White male heroes (or even leads) anymore.

No reason to watch TV or movies.(Unless of course the female lead is totally hot and almost always in a bikini)
