Used to be addicted to the old Pertwee and Tom Baker shows. Have only seen the new ones once since we don't have cable where I am in Hawaii.

They have to be great though

They are really good. The one I saw last night with the library has some of the best 'effects' I have ever seen in the show. Ever see any of the old ones with the doctor that wore the long scarf? I wouldn't mind seeing those on reruns again. Dr. Who and Dexter are the 2 shows I try not to miss.

We are big Doctor Who geeks at our house too!

My husband was reading online and David Tenet, who plays the handsome doctor, is no longer in the show. BUMMER!!!! Some guy who's not nearly as cute!

RWG- I think the effects on that show are pretty good, too. I was kind of surprised when BBC classified it as low-budget.

Happy Doctor Who-ing! :lol:

I agree. We just saw this year's Christmas Special and it made me cry. I hope the new doctor on 2010 is as good as the current one. He's my favorite!

Thats Tom Baker with the long scarf. My son sent us a dozen Dvds of various episodes he knows we like for Christmas.

I did some work with the BBC producer then but never could get on the show dressed as some cyberman <G>

so....who would win in a fight.....Rose or Martha? Donna dosn't look like much of a fighter.

My family is also bummed over the change in doctors, but we were also bummed the first time and that turned out great.

I don't know... Donna gets kind of scrappy toward the end of the season. (We have the real BBC channel at home and saw the Donna season already) I didn't watch much with Rose, but she makes an appearance at the end of the season. She's pretty tough. My money might be on her. :lol::lol:

We are also big Doctor Who fans, and have been for over twenty years. I personally put my money on Rose in any fight betweent the three (Rose, Martha, Donna).

I'm a bit confused over the library episode. The heavily implied that David Tenet was going to have an extended future with Dr. River Song. How can they then change to a new doctor, since it was his face that she continued to recognize?

Oh well, I just hope that the new doctor will be good. They generally are, but it's definitly a matter of opinion. This will be his ninth re-generation, so they don't have many more new actors they can get to do the role.

My mom is a huge fan of Dr Who and has been since I was a child.... Her fav is the first guy she loved him! Ill tell you... we were talking on Sunday and she found out that theres a new Dr. and She is NOT thrilled out him at all... So hopefully he's good. I liked the last guy he was cute in his OWN way.

I ordered seasons 1-4 and I'm half way through the 2nd. I got the complete series on e-bay for $120. My boyfriend, daughter and myself are just addicted to this show! I read that David Tennant wanted to be "The Doctor" since he was three, and is leaving the show to play Hamlet in a play. Also, he is Scottish and fakes his accent for the show. I also read that the new shows will start in 2010. I wonder how much of this info is true.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
