terracore - I certainly watched Dr Who as a kid. It used to be on kids' TV in the late afternoon and I remember the days when Jon Pertwee was the Doctor. That series scared the sh*t out of me, especially the episodes when they had dinosaurs and I think it was the last episode before he transformed into Tom Baker that had a bunch of large spiders. I'd have been about six or seven years old then.
Tom Baker was great along with K9, but then it lost its soul when Peter Davison took over because he was a vet on All Creatures Great and Small and it just seemed weird - how could a young vet become the doctor? I grew out of it after that. I might enjoy the more recent series if I sat down and watched them for a bit, but they'll never replace the terrifying memories of earlier!
PS. For old Brit sci-fi, The Day of the Triffids was good, but I think the book was better. But there is of course Hitchhiker's Guide and Red Dwarf, which I definitely did enjoy, although again I preferred the books for Hitchhiker. For some classic Brit sci-fi, the novel by H. G. Wells is a great read as is the music album by Jeff Wayne with Richard Burton narrating.
