There'll be a torrent for it on suprnova.org I would imagine!

Don't you get a BBC World channel?  Or something like that?

If not tough :-P

You get loads of things before us and the BBC is the home of Dr Who anyway so there :-P

all I get is what is called BBCAmerica.
most of the stuff is "old", that is sometimes a year after it's been on BBC.

still, I watch that channel more than any other. I just love those crime dramas!

Bummer, you can do one of the following then:

1) look up the dictionary for the word "patience" and try it

2) find it online somewhere


:-D

I'm an amiga user since the late 80's.

"Patience" is tattooed on my forehead!

And now the AmigaONE is out, you have to replace it for "sucker". ;-)

I was talking to my friend about this the other day and we think the old Police Box thing is way outdated.  Dr Who should have something more in keeping with the times, but seeing as most phone boxes are transparent these days we humbly suggest the BBC consider using something like a  Portaloo as the new TARDIS (seeing as my pal is a builder, they're affectionately known as a "Turd-Tardis" on site).

In keeping with the Tardis of old, the decor should resemble that of a very plush (and spacious) boardroom lavatory inside, complete with gold taps and expensive tiles all round.  

I heard a rumour that the first episode of the new series involves the Doctor making an unfortunate visit to Glastonbury in his new Tardis...

Yes, I've seen them. They are startlingly unimpressive. I paid 300 dollars for a G3 Articia machine, I don't see why I would want to pay more than three times that for one. Especially since an unspecified chunk of that goes to pay Amiga Inc, a company who's flakiness make Genesi look angelic.

(what's with the bitterness, kenny. it can't be THAT bad?)

Seeing through propaganda when the majority can't seem to is not bitterness. Surely you, with anti-Bush politics, can see that?

I couldn't help commenting about it in this thread. I mean, Doctor Who, great in its time, with a passionate nostalgic following, about to be defaced by a substandard modern version which will do nothing but trivialise the memories. The parallels to Eyetech's AmigaONE range are just too close for comfort.

i don't know anything about "amiga Inc" present situation as far as getting any money. so, i won't comment on that.

however, considering that just recently, BBRV have proven in public to be nothing close to moral or ethical, might I suggest you not bring them up as any sort of comprison?

my interest in the micro has nothing to do with anyone's "propaganda", simply my actually looking at it operate. and, of course, I'm looking at beta versions of the OS, which is not what most people have at the moment. I happy about the progress, is all i'm saying.

as for Doctor Who, I can't say what it will look like. I'm just interested. that's ok, isn't it?
