Vintage Time Lords - 50 years ago at the BBC...

[The Vintage Vendeuse]

Not sure how much cross over there is between vintage lovers and Whovians? Anyone who is in that niche group with me, mustn't miss the excellent 'An Adventure in Space and Time'. It's a feature length docu-drama about the making of the first Doctor Who series in 1963. Best thing I've watched in ages, great writing, good actors, daleks...

It aired yesterday in the UK. I'm not sure if available outside the UK yet, but this trailer is for BBC America, so maybe:

Today's google doodle here is Doctor Who game. Is it Doctor Who fever outside the UK too, with the 50th Anniversary?

I'm so sorry I missed this on BBC America and will have to see if I can dig it up on the internet.
I've been watching Doctor Who since the new series began and I've even gotten my two teens addicted.
A story: In 1983, I was doing a term at a London-area university, staying with my aunt. I was interested in television production so I decided to go to the BBC studios, walk in, and see if they did tours. I was told they really only did pre-arranged group tours but they had a tour that had just started about ten minutes before I'd come in. They radioed to the tour leader to ask the group's permission for me to join them. The group said yes.
So, a BBC worker took me to join the group. He was kind enough to stop at the few places I'd miss (that the group had already seen) and one of them was a costume room. I remember seeing a few really weird glittery alien-type costumes. The BBC man saw me looking at them and told me that they were for a show called Doctor Who. I was vaguely aware of the show at that time but really didn't know anything about it.
Oh, if only I could take the Tardis back in time and really look over those costumes!
