I ment the effects. Dr Who never needed expensive FX's.
[Eye of Harmony]
But the Doctor didn't build the TARDIS. He stole it from the other Timelords.
But I wanted opinions.

assistant: Hi All!
Would anyone who has Internet/WWW access and who frequently checks out the
Dr.Who web pages know of the web page address of a web page called (if I
remember correctly) "Dr.Who archives".  It was a page devoted to sound files
from (what else? ;->) Dr.Who.  The sound files were categorized by era, ie
ll
the Jon Pertwee sound files were in one group, all the Tom Baker sound files
were in another group, etc, etc.  If I remember correctly each month there
as
a different version of the theme music, ie when I last hit the web page the
theme music as for the Jon Pertwee era.  I'm not sure if this has changed but
the last time I logged onto the web page there was a picture of the Dr.Who
logo
from the recent two-hour Dr.Who film.
Anyway, does anyone recognize this web page at all?  If so could you please
tell me the address of it.  Stupid me I forgot to make a note of it when I
logged onto it last and have totally forgotten the location of this page. :-(
Thanks in advance for any and all info!! :-)
Talk to you later

Reverse the polarity can be heard in the Ds9 pilot.

The Doctor was a Timelord who is now half-human... Similar.

Foxtel bought the rights to ALL the episodes for their UKTV channel.  No
doubt they plan to show every episode indefinitely, and I bet they'll repeat
them too, just like UK-Gold have done in England.  (While the Hartnell and
Troughton episodes are all over the place, Pertwee onwards will be in order).
The ABC only had the rights up to half-way through Colin Baker, anyway.  They
couldn't have shown McCoy if they wanted to, even though they stopped
broadcasts in April 1994 and had rights continuing to June 1994.
Well, that was a while ago now ... and I doubt it will ever return to the
ABC. The only exception is the TV movie.  They might repeat that!
