On this date in 1963, the very first episode of Doctor Who made its appearance on the BBC. Now, 45 years and 10 doctors later, it’s still going strong.
I started to watch that movie I mentioned last night on Sci Fi, but I couldn’t hack it beyond about 30 minutes. James Brolin and Ian Somerhalder were in it and I felt embarrassed for both of them. The writing was dreadful. And they both seemed like they really didn’t want to be there. And neither did I. *g*
Though the series isn’t due to return until January, there’s a 24 movie on tonight. It’ll be good to see Jack Bauer back shooting bad guys 
, setting up perimeters, and just generally wreaking havoc. *g* There’s also a special on National Geographic about the recently discovered Herod’s Lost Tomb.
Reading: Still reading 1634: The Baltic War. I’m about 2/3 of the way through. I love this series a lot, but, man oh man, you need a scorecard and a timeline to keep everything and everybody straight!
Would that make Doctor Who the longest running show on TV worldwide?

Hubs remembers watching Doctor Who ages ago, so I’m not surprised. *g*
Did you hear that both Monk and Psyche will have a “Holiday” episode this Friday? YAYAYAYAY! *g*
I hope you continue to enjoy your book! Have a peaceful day.

Very little can entice me to watch a SciFi Channel movie anymore.
Yeah Doctor Who!
