42
It has been said that 42 is a great age. A point where you’re still vital and have the benefit of all the wisdom and experience you’ve accrued. A time to be at the peak of one’s powers (True fact: Tom Baker was 42 during Season 14!)
As Doctor Who reaches its 42nd Anniversary, we find this truer than ever. The first season of a hugely successful new series, with another on the way, that is just as vital as ever and yet takes benefits from the wisdom accrued from its longstanding history.
The world has changed so much since that cold and dark Saturday evening in 1963, but Doctor Who is still the greatest, most entertaining, TV program around. Happy 42nd Anniversary, Doctor Who!

I’ll refrain from making any Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy jokes.

Given that its the 42ND anniversary, doesn’t it make you want to watch “Stones of Blood”, “City of Death”, and/or “Shada” though for Douglas Adams’s writing? Followed perhaps with the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy… miniseries and/or movie as well…
Hmmm… I don’t need any arm-twisting with this one. I think I’ll do just that this weekend.
Too bad I didn’t get first place in Mastermind and win the “City of Death” DVD at BAD WOLF 1… Should I buy the DVD or watch my VHS version of the story? What to do… what to do…

Buy the DVD!
Don’t you mean Pirate Planet?

Oops! My bad! Yes, I meant Pirate Planet of course… I was talking about The Stones of Blood with my brother yesterday so the title must have been stuck in my head.
