The Doctors Revisited, Doctor Who with Peter Davison, on BBC America
Airs this Sunday (5/26) on BBC America.
The ages of actors who have played Doctor Who over the years
The age when they started playing the Doctor to when they ended.
Of interest:
- Peter Davison was almost as young as Matt Smith when he started as the Doctor. And people complain of Smith’s age but not Davison’s. (Though maybe they did complain when Davison started 30 some odd years ago.)
- The actors of the classic Doctor Who start off older, get younger before going older again. I wonder if the same will hold true for the modern Doctor Who?
- Both Eccleston and McGann were only the Doctor for a very short time relative to the others. Though Eccleston was a much more successful incarnation of the Doctor than McGann. 😉
8/26 – Added Peter Capaldi
What I’m Watching, April 2013
Sunday:
- Game of Thrones (HBO): Game of Thrones is the best of the best series in a spring season of a lot of great dramas.
- Veep (HBO): I don’t think there’s been a lot of good comedies on TV recently but Veep is a big exception.
- Mad Men (AMC): I think Mad Men‘s finest days might be behind it, but it’s still a great show.
Wednesday
- The Americans (FX): I honestly didn’t think that The Americans was going to be a good show, let alone a great one when I first heard about it. How happy I am to be wrong.
Thursday
- Hannibal (NBC): Even if NBC has decided not to air all episodes of Hannibal I still think this is the finest network TV drama in a loooooooong time. It’s the one network show I actually look forward to watch each week.
Saturday
- Doctor Who (BBC America): Episodes of Doctor Who this year have been spotty at best but I still dig the Doctor and his new companion.
On the DVR
- Orphan Black (BBC America): I watched one episode of Orphan Black and liked it but never got into it enough to check out other ones. All episodes are still on my DVR and I think I’ll end up watching them someday soon.
Looking forward to…
- Arrested Development (Netflix, May 26): I think the return of my all-time favorite TV series of the last decade is a very big deal, not only for the return of the Bluth family but also for Netflix’s continuing commitment to quality original series.
- The Bridge (FX, July)
- Low Winter Sun (AMC, Summer)
