I saw a couple of episodes - DECADES ago. Time and life precluded my watching them like I would have liked.

So NOW, retired and at the ripe old age of 67. I have nearly the entire universe of Dr Who to enjoy and explore for the very first time.

It's like discovering a wonderful author with an enormous oeuvre that you never saw before. And now, with Amazon Prime, I can access episodes I wouldn't have been able to before the age of the internets..
