I'm interested to see this new iteration of the good Doctor. I have a Brit BBS I visit occasionally, and reviews were somewhat mixed, as I recall.
We were originally exposed to Dr. Who back in the 70s when Monty Python was a big hit on PBS, and they were looking for other things BBC to show. We got the Tom Baker episodes first, and loved 'em. We were surprised to learn from a Brit aquaintance that the series had been on for years, and Baker was the fourth "Doctor".
BTW- I agree, Galactica is very good indeed.
