Marian, they've since changed it. DW premieres on the 18th now, still at 8:30. I guess they're milking what little marketable product they have. maidmarian_thepoet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (belated) thanks for answering this.

Tracey, the reason that Earth was so prominent in so may of the original series' eps is because there was, as part of the background mythos of the show, if you will, the notion that Earth and humanity were a major force in the shape of cosmic events in the future.

I'm a fan that came in during the Tom Baker years. I think that the old episodes were actually more earth-centered because they didn't have the budget for much else. The current doctor takes his vatious companions more places these days. However, the primary arc of a season is usually earth-centered. Like many popular shows now, the season has a complete arc instead of being completed episodic. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Tracey de Morsella [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I am correct and you are a long term fan, do you miss the space exploration?

Re: Dr Who in Space RE: [scifinoir2] David joins forces with Catherine for more out-of-this-world adventures
I think different versions of the Doctor have tended to have different themes. At the Atlanta Fantasy Fair back in the 90s I spent a weekend watching episodes of Dr. Who from (I think) the second doctor. They almost all took place in England, rather than off-world. I really like the new series a lot better. But then again, I'm a fan of a couple Dr. Who podcasts as well, so maybe my taste is questionable.

Actually, they tend to spend a lot of time eithre on earth like planets that look like english gravel pits, or on Earth in various time periods that can be simulated on BBC sets or location shots. Now, they do the same, only with a better budget.
