How many more of the old series have you got to go Q? And do you then have to start of the new series? or have you been watching those this time around?
Uh, I'm about a third of the way through Colin Baker's time (the Sixth Doctor) in my little marathon elsewhere (I finished The Mark of the Rani today). One of the next stories that I would have posted a trailer for was already posted (Silver Nemesis), and I'm waiting to reserve final judgement on Time and the Rani before posting the trailer.

As for the new series, well, I'm considering watching it in order, but once I finish off the Seventh Doctor's stories, I'm going to do a catch-up of stories I missed out on, either deliberately (like special editions of certain stories, or the spinoff special K9 and Company) or unintentionally due to the DVD schedule (like The Gunfighters), before finishing off with the TV Movie. Then, I will consider moving onto the new series. I've watched all but two episodes: Love & Monsters, and The Lodger.

I don't quite understand what's happening on this thread. o_O

Do all these trailers for Doctor Who progs mean the progs are crappy? o_O
In my opinion, anyway (though fan opinion is virtually unanimous on The Twin Dilemma, and while I tried to watch the story with an open mind, I have to agree that it's pretty bad). These particular serials that I posted the trailers to are mediocre at best. The very worst, IMO, are The Ark, Four to Doomsday, and The Twin Dilemma. One day, I want to do MST3K-style riffing on them. :)

I can post trailers for stories that I would recommend, Pooh, if you want. :) Though I doubt that anyone'd take me up on my offer, knowing how well my enjoyment of Doctor Who goes down here. :p

Most BBC trailers (and ITV come to that) are "reasonably" good, until you watch the actual programme and realise that all the best bits were in the 20 second trailer!!

Hmm. Of course, the trailers that I was posting were trailers that were put onto the DVD releases by 2Entertain or someone, not by the BBC specifically for television. If I had the option, I could have added that of a story that I intend to watch soon, Timelash.

Actually, since they are running out of classic stories to release now, that's probably why most of the crappy ones have trailers, as the trailers were only put on relatively recently (since 2007, if I remember correctly).
