Now With Car Chases and Kissing. Dear God, the Kissing...

Now With Car Chases and Kissing. Dear God, the Kissing...

This morning was my second-longest duration on the Time Treadmill in one go, trailing behind The Five Doctors by one minute. From here on out it is all either standard 45 minute stories, or else the Christmas and other specials that all run at a straight 50 minutes. I do not expect to ever be on the treadmill again for this ridiculous project for as long as I was this morning. Which is nice. This morning also marked the end of twentieth century content for this project. Tomorrow morning I jump ahead nine years to 2005. 

But that's tomorrow. For today, let's talk about the curiously American interpretation of Doctor Who.

Or just turn down the contrast until everything's grey? (This may possibly be a comment only understood by people with a certain vintage of television. Do TVs even have adjustable contrast anymore?

Good point. Perhaps, after I finish Blake's 7 and Sapphire & Steele, I should start a grand re-watch and dig back into the b&w era.

Regards the first year weight loss, could the science be that early Doctor Who was more conducive to weight loss than when it went color??? Could color TV be the problem?
