I would gladly re-watch THE ANDROID INVASION and THE MASQUE OF MANDRAGORA back-to-back a dozen times in a row before I could be bothered watching an offering from New Who. The Android Invasion is one of the weaker entries of the Hinchcliffe/Holmes era IMO. But I own Masque of Mandragora on DVD. The location footage, the acting by the guest stars, and the chemistry between Tom and Lis in their penultimate story, really make this own stand out. I have yet to watch a single episode of New Who.

I own everything from Classic Who that is currently available on DVD, from complete serials down to existing fragments. I've seen everything at least two or three times, but I've seen most of it dozens of times each, since I first started watching in the early to mid 1970s. I never grow tired of Classic Who. With New Who, however, the story is very different. I have seldom watched a serial more than once and I've often found my attention wandering during the one viewing I did give most episodes. With Classic Who, the entire serial was the highlight, but with New Who, I can only find odd moments that are highlights for me.

I own 14 Classic Who adventures on DVD. But I know what you mean about not growing tired of Classic Who. I paid to see the Genesis of the Daleks Fathom Event - even though that's one of the stories I own on DVD!

However, the presentation also included a recent interview with the Tom Baker which was worthwhile.

And I can take or leave behind-the-scenes interviews with people. GENESIS OF THE DALEKS has long been my favourite, or contender for my favourite, DOCTOR WHO serial.

But I still wanted to see, and support, Classic Doctor Who on the big screen. I thought it was a worthwhile experience.
