When I mentioned the idea for this blog to Kristy over the Christmas holidays I didn't think we would really end up doing it but Kristy was really up for it and starting building the blog, this got me very excited just wondering if we could really do it. Now a entire month has passed since we decided to take on Doctor Who for an entire year and we have successfully consumed at least one episode a day and are reviewing as we go.
It sounded easy to begin with, any Doctor Who fan would think
watching an episode every day would be a piece of cake. To begin with we
started by watching entire stories from the classic seasons every night,
however we soon began to realise that such a pace would be impossible to keep
up as many of these stories are 6 or 8 sections long. We can only watch
episodes in the evening so watching a 3 hour episode meant that we simply weren’t
having time to keep up with the reviews. Since this minor hiccup we have only
been watching one segement of each serial a night and this is working out much
better. It has served to keep the episodes
much fresher and gave us more time to think about the episodes as we consumed
them.
