      Bumping this because they aired the 6th Doctor special a day ahead of time.

        ^I watched that. It wasn't bad. From the special beforehand I expected to greatly dislike Collin Baker's Doctor, but from this episode, I liked him quite a bit. I liked Peri, but for totally different reasons. I can imagine she was quite popular among the teenaged Who fans of the day.

          I remember this being one of the few Colin Baker stories I could stomach, but I haven't seen it since the 80s. I'll say it was ok. It was nice to have some social commentary in Who, but man the budget was threadbare and it really showed in places.

            I haven't seen much of Doctors 6 & 7, after Davison the local PBS station started weaning away from Who & Star Trek Saturdays. Never thought much of the Colin Baker Doctor, but the pre show kinda explained he wasn't abrasive as a choice, but by direction. I'm interested enough for another look.

              This Saturday night at 7:00pm EST BBC America is playing one of the weakest McCoy episodes ever - Time and the Rani

              I'm kinda speachless why they'd pick that on to represent the McCoy years.

              I would have chosen either Remembrance of the Daleks or Battlefield

                I don't mind this one (its kinda cheesy) but yeah, it's terrible compared to remembrance or curse of Fenric.

                  Why do they keep showing Remembrance in the previews if they aren't airing it?

                    I looked it up on BBC America's website ---- THEY say they're playing Remembrance but my TV Guide channel is saying it's Time and the Rani

                    let's hope my guide channel is wrong.

                      Sometimes I wish I had cable. Would love to watch these Doctor Who episodes. I'm crazy about Doctor Who.

                        Our DVR says it's The Rani as well... At least next month's showing won't be any mystery eh?

                          Time and the Rani is a terrible, abhorrent story.

                          They definitely should have shown Remembrance of the Daleks.

                            They showed Remembrance of the Daleks.

                            And it was awesome.

                              Awesome is right! Really enjoyed it!
                              And just seeing The Rani in that ridiculous
                              Mel getup in the review episode was enough to put anyone off the 7th Doctor so thankfully they didn't show it as his "example" show. Never thought much of Mel as a companion anyway, I found her totally annoying, her hair, voice, outfit...

                                Bad things about Mel

                                1. Looks anorexic (for real)
                                2. annoying screaming at the drop of a hat
                                3. even though she's in her very early 20's she looks like she's 45 years old
