After seeing some Doctor Who silliness yesterday, I also came across this great tribute to 45 years of Doctor Who. Since it's a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and I'm again too lazy to post anything substantive until Monday, here we go again. It's every Who story compressed into less than 8 minutes. Truly, a tour de force for surveying the evolution of the show.

I have to remember to lower my expectations for holidays. When my expectations are low and things go wrong, the expectations are met, and I am satisfied. When things go right, I am surprised and happy. High expectations of things beyond my control breed dissatisfaction.

As mentioned previously, I sprained my ankle last Thursday. Just to be safe, I went to the doctor on Friday, to make sure it wasn't anything worse. He poked it a little, sent me to get an x-ray, and gave me a prescription for crutches. The x-ray took a while, and the crutch prescription could…
Yesterday was the funeral for my great-aunt Mildred, known within the family as "Auntie" (first syllable "ont" not "ant"), who fell and bumped her head last Friday, and just never woke up. On the one hand, she was 97, so this shouldn't be too surprising, but a few years ago she moved out of a…
It says here in the fine print that my blogging license could be revoked if I fail to offer a public opinion on the Cosmos reboot, which premiered last night. I missed the first couple of minutes-- I had The Pip for bedtime, and he didn't start snoring until 8:58-- but saw most of it in real time.…
Great video - and I speak as someone who remembers watching "An Unearthly Child" the first time around in November '63.
Nice Doctor Who overview.
Orac, the Beeb is playing 3 hour-long audioplays for the 30th Anniversary of Blake's 7! Check it out here:

What´s left to say is you are very kind, because you posted this awesome video! It´s great to be remembered by the creepie stuff we were watching at when we were young. And of course there are many great pieces I didn´t know about, but certainly have to watch soon.
Thanks, Orac, for this. I have had the Doctor on the brain lately, too. I just crocheted a dalek ("Extermiknit!") which is now hanging in my car, all cuddly and evil (along with a jellyfish and two hyperbolic plane models, all crocheted). I am working on a TARDIS now, in blue thread.
No, I do NOT have a Tom Baker scarf, but I do plan on making Rose's Doomsday wristwarmers someday.
While I haven't seen them all I'd have to say my favorite episode thus far is from the (surprise, surprise) Tom Baker era called "City of Death". Thanks for this.
