They were all made in colour. Regarding anything to do with B+W, all stories starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor are complete, but some only survive as black and white telerecordings or US-standard NTSC copies.

If you still disagree, provide a source?

certain episodes of Ambassadors of Death is black and white.

The Ambassadors of Death

Wiki says it best.

Although the entire story was made on colour videotape, only the first episode is retained in this format. In fact, it is the earliest episode that survives in the series' original videotaped format, either in colour or black and white. The remaining six episodes survive only as black-and-white film recordings and poor-quality domestic colour recordings made from a US transmission in the 1970s. This recording is severely affected by a rainbow-coloured pattern of interference that at times overtakes the entire picture

Well that made little sense to me.

But i did notice it was refereed to as a series when in fact it is a season. IDK why Pre 21st century is Season and Post series.

Basically it was made in colour but it later only survived in a lesser-quality format in B+W.

Reagarding series/seasons. It started in the 80s when a book came out detailing each story and listing them under seasons. There's always a small debate but usually it's classic seasons and new series.

I prefer to use seasons though, so Matt's first "series", for me, is Season 31.

Doctor Who is the best show on the planet! Matt Smith grew on me, but I still miss David Tennant.

Welcome to the site

Great username!

Is that the awful music used in the specials?

I want the S5 soundtrack more.

Main priority though... SJA starting 11th October

I hope they release it in the USA. Seeing the Tenth Doctor regenerated with that music, kind of reminded me, like an messiah had died.

You have to admit David Tennant made Doctor Who cool. It is also nice that their is an American cult following in the US, since the Tom Baker years. Also the Tenth Doctor seemed to help it become part of the UK main stream too.

Your really hate the music?

My first SJA episode I saw, was the one with the 10th Doctor in it. I wonder how SJ will react when she sees the 11th Doctor. I wonder how the 11th Doctor would introduce himself.

Look at this picture I found, it is amazing!

It is way too big to put it on here. It is a Doctor Who wallpaper.

It'll be on iTunes at some point (same release day? Not sure). And the music irritated me because it was totally self-indulgent. I could go into a rant about the entire "The End of Time" story. I much prefer quiet regenerations. Yeah, they're huge events these days but still. And you've said exactly what bugs me. The Doctor is just a traveller with no home. Not a messiah, not a God, not a demi-God. RTD irritated me with "the lonely god" thing and I'm glad Moffat's dropped it in favour of an eccentric traveller.

I'll admit Chris Eccleston made it cool. After all, he was first. In fact, I'd argue Tom Baker made it cool. Or even Hartnell. It's always been cool, more-or-less, bar the dodgy 80s era. But even I love the 80s and it's possibly my favourite era. I'd argue David Tennant made the show what it is today - a huge success - but I never forget those who came before it. Eccleston had just as hard a job, bringing this "dire" show back to the screen with new energy and just groundbreaking material. And credit has to also go to Piper and RTD.

I don't hate the music. But I strongly dislike it. It feels, to me, like Murray Gold just got louder and more self-indulgent as time went on. I much prefer the Series One stuff to the Series Four/Specials stuff. And S5 was brilliant, with Murray finally toning it down some with some new material.

It'll be great with SJA in that we're also getting [SPOILER] Jo Grant too, however she slots into the story! Can't wait

(And the wallpaper is cool, but I'm sticking to my Matt one

)

Vale Decem is beautiful. And S5 was the loudest soundtrack to date

And hartnell made it cool.

S5 was loud but not as intrusive as some RTD stories had it. Plus, it was different, not just the same old stuff in a different mix.

I love how many DW die hards there are on this site. I would have the Doctor as my avatar, but I don't think I could put him next to the word Pig, just doesn't seem right.
