Just a heads up that the first ever episode is on Horror Channel tomorrow at 1pm, for anyone interested.
Thursday sees Carnival Of Monsters, with The Three Doctors on Friday.
Next week starts with The TIme Warrior on Monday, with The Ark In Space on Tuesday.

Fine, you know, but maybe not EVERYONE knows, as i only found out about them about 2 months ago, so thought it might be of interest to others wanting to watch them, not like i am using up all the internet mentioning it
If you already know, move on, the thread will slowly fall down the list into obscurity, until someone decided to post they already know of course
So, who are you?
I sat with the wife the other day and watched The Greatest Show in the Galaxy with her. I haven't seen it fully and surprisingly enjoyed it. The Curse of Fenric was shown next - I've always liked that.
However, I didn't know the other stories mentioned were being shown; 'll defo being watching those as I don't own these stories on DVD - so thanks for the heads up
I recorded both batches of shows when they first aired on the Horror Channel, and have been watching them during off-air moments.
I've also been topping up with DVDs for the shows they haven't shown and which fill important gaps in my Classic Who knowledge and viewing! And for those stories which I really like and want the proper DVD (with extras) of
Going back to the original thread, they showed An Unearthly Child on BBC4 around the 50th anniversary time, and I still haven't watched it in full!
Actually, my daughter is getting into it (she is 4), she find's new Who a bit scary, but once i found the old ones on Horror, i have been recording them for her, she loves Dalek's, has taken a few weeks to come round to watching Davros, but will not entertain Cyber Men.
She also loves the episodes with Sontaran's (the Potato Men as she calls them).
She also loves it when the Doctor changes into another one, so looking forward to The Three Doctors on Friday, her first look at a multi doctor episode!!
I was rather hoping they'd get hold of a 'new' batch of classic Who episodes but sadly they seem to keep regurgitating these ones ad nauseam.
My little brother (just turned 9) has wartched his share of Classic Who and I convinced him not long ago to try my favourite Troughton story: The Mind Robber. He whizzed through the whole story in one evening and found it funny and creepy. He's a big fan of the Second Doctor/Jamie duo.
It's nice to see that the classics still hold up for many people, the young ones included.
Actually, it is less than 2 years since Doctor Who arrived on Freeview's Horror Channel.
They started on the Horror Channel in March 2014, though the channel wasn't available on Freeview until 2015
So if this is the last time that Horror Channel will show them does anyone have an idea about who will be getting the rights in the UK to classic Dr Who?
Star Trek wasn't really horror too but it didn't stop Horror Channel from showing it.
They show stuff like Wonder Woman, Incredible Hulk, Xena and Hercules all the time so it's more a Cult channel these days..... Not that there's anything thing wrong with that of course.... only last year they showed The Wild Wild West, a western/spy drama with a lot of steampunk elements in it
Did they?
I know there was talk of repeating but I don't remember seeing them.
My exposure to B7 came from buying all the videos in the 90's!
It was repeated on BBC 2 on Saturday afternoons in March/April 2000. They only showed Blakes 7 series one.
