Is that show any good? I added it to my Neflix queue not knowing what to expect.

Most American viewers do not get the way television is produced in the UK. Imagine working a daytime job that you an I would work--nothing like Hollywood. I guess the work analogy would be like working on an American daytime soap opera.

But they do like 12 episodes a year but the only things that look any good are top gear and dr who.

I have no idea what or who Dr.Who is. It's a TV show, right?

I can't help feeling like maybe he was in the role for too long and let people get too attached to the actor.

By looking at the graphics he was in it no longer than the first third and fourth doctors.

I had no idea the show had been around for this long, I started watching in 2005. Why does it go to season 26 then restart at season 1?

Yeah those are the only 2 shows I've ever watched on the BBC.

after 16 years off the air, the 2005 series is considered to be something of a reboot and started at Season 1.

I imagine new viewers -- who may not have even been born when Season 26 concluded -- may have felt intimated to tune into the first episode of Season 27.

So if I was interested in watching this. Jump in at the start or the beginning of the reboot?

most people start in 2005.

not all of the original series episodes are available and, imho, it didn't really age well at all.

I'd try to get it made with shutterfly.com. When you upload the picture, they'll ask if you have the copyright to it, but I'm not sure if they actually check it.

I would start with the re-boot and give it a few episodes to get used to it.

Blink was good because it was suspenseful. The doctor is much like Sherlock Holmes, you know he's going to get out of the trap and solve the mystery and His companion almost always gets out of the trap too. (although the doctor/his companion does die/disappear every year or three) By focusing on characters that were only influenced by the doctor indirectly there was a real feeling that the well-characterized new characters could actually die.

Another great episode, which featured the doctor being very un-doctor like, was "human nature" and "the family of blood" from season 3.

Doubtful, the old series is campy(read: campier) by todays standards, however my favorite doctor from that period is by far Tom Baker.
