Because uncomfortable reactions to the intro of Doctor Who prevented me from getting into it until I recently gave it a shot again with the first season of the new Doctor Who, I know basically nothing about the original.

The first season of the new Doctor Who is making me very happy, and therefore, I would like to know where I would be advised to start, if I were to be attempting to educate myself on what I missed in the original series.

I apparently recognize Tom Baker and Peter Davison as their incarnations of the Doctor. This probably means I have seen _any_ that they were in and liked them enough to remember them. For what that's worth.

So, suggestions? And, for those who are local, if you have any DVDs of any episodes you think I would like to see, that would also be appreciated.

Note that I am somewhat easily creeped out and this makes it difficult to watch anything which is intended to do that. For example, in the season I've watched, the episode The Empty Child was _very_ hard for me to watch. So, unless an episode is important for character or plot development, I would prefer to avoid especially creepy ones.

Hmm. Are the DVDs also avi? Or DVD format?

I am probably interested!

we've pulled a lot of the Dr via BT, and burnt the files onto DVD for storage. You need a computer to watch tho.

Ok. I think my desktop doesn't read DVDs, but my laptop does. However, laptops are evil for tendonitis problems. THis is why I asked. :)

All of that said, though, I would still be interested in borrowing these, if possible. I don't know if I've ever met you, nor if I know where you live. Wanna go to email about this? wispfox @ livejournal . com does work.

Huh! Ok, but it's near certain I won't recognize you, FWIW. :)
