Ghost Light
I did not expect this story to be picked. I would have
thought a more traditional story is picked but it is also significant as it is
the last story to be recorded for the classic 26 year run.

Why I am happy Ghost Light was chosen: I think this
is a great story to represent the McCoy era. It’s offbeat and intelligent;
bringing new ideas to the series. This is how I remember this era. Sylvester
and Sophie are great in this and the sets and effects look wonderful. It is a
great way to see the evolution of the series from 1963 to 1989.
The story I would
have picked: Battlefield. I love
this story and I wanted to see it again. No problem, I am now going to watch Ghost Light.
Whatever are we going to do about McGann? Find out later!

Greg, It is good to find a site dedicated to some of my favourite programs and to find someone with similar interests. Have you ever looked at programs like Hi-De-Hi, You Rang M'Lord, It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Garrow's Law,or Silk? I have been building a large collection of various comedies and drama's over the years and found many new programs that I had not ever seen on this side of the Atlantic.

Hi Chaz,
Thanks for writing. Like you, I have a hunger to seek out programs that are not available over here. Once I am done with the 50th Anniversary stuff for Doctor Who, I hope to get back to writing regular columns focusing on Christmas themed episodes for December.
Take care,
Greg
