Is this some sort of attempt to use the word 'canonical' a record breaking number of times in a thread?

No, what makes you say that?

EXTERMINATE!Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Try to catch DEAD RINGERS with Tom Baker's Dr Who speed-datingOh, COME ON! The Doctor was never a red blooded heterosexual stallion.

My favorite was Leela - the amazon type who wore that skimpy leather outfit.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Leela was way sexy, but I dug Peri's attitude more. I guess I'm a sucker for people like her."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

GLEE!
I didn't know there were other Who fans here.
Just re-read Russell T. Davies' Dr Who book - Damaged Goods. It was awesome, as I remember it, but very very adult. Homsexuality, prostitution/pimping of barely adolescent girls, motherhood, miscarriage, insanity, drugs and some extremely gory moments ivolving a guy called the Capper who torches himself.
Still, this is just the sort of darkness Andrew Cartmel, the last Who producer, wrote about in his Who novels.
I have got the video of "The Curse of Fatal Death" - Rowan Atkinson, Jim Broadbent, Richard E. Grant, Hugh Grant and... Joanna Lumley as the Doctor(s), Julia Sawalha as companion and Jonathan Pryce as the Master. Sounds bizarre, but it was actually rather entertaining. Hugh Grant looks like he might actually make a good Doctor.
And I always liked Polly - the swinging 60's chick with the tiny mini-skirt. She has these amazing legs....Comment

I always loved the sets- looked like they were made in a junior-high woodshop. But they've probably got a $1/2m set budget or something

Seen any of the DVDs they've started releasing? The ones for this year (40th anniversary year
) are amazing - not only are they all cleaned up from the rubbishy recovered old film prints they found in places like Cyprus, Nigeria etc, but the extras put most other DVDs to shame.

The loss of old dr. who episodes is the single greatest artistic loss of the 20th century...
My wish is for a complete dr. who dvd set. Oh, how I wish.
Maybe I really should go to england for foreign study. It might be the only place to get good dr. who dvds."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

They ARE releasing them in the US..... it's just the movie DVD is not there yet as there are rights issues. The DVDs are released monthly in the UK, but in batches in the US.
The only real difference between the UK and US DVDs is the covers - the extras are all there...

Plus, the US got the Key To Time DVDs, that the UK didn't get, plus, a few of the US dvds have more extras (that they forgetten to put on the UK versions). For example, our The Five Doctors DVD came with a commentary track that the R2 didn't have, and our Robots of Death DVD had the Harry Desilva intros as an extra.
There are a few minor disappointments I have with the DVDs. They don't allow movie playback in addition to episodic playback (and, for the Colin Baker ones and The Five Doctors, they don't have the 25 minute episode version shown in the US, with some very silly cliffhangers) - they could have set up the DVDs to show both versions without much hassle (liek they did with the Special effects version of Ark in Space vs. the old version. Plus, some of them aren't as originally shown - I can understand music missing in Rememberence for copyright reasons, but they could have had the original non-SE version of the Five Doctors."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else.
