Thanks for this--it helped to push me towards watching old Who, especially the ones my mom grew up watching. I'm only slightly disappointed that it isn't an events timeline. I still haven't wrapped my head around the last couple seasons...

We've been watching old William Hartnell episodes of Doctor Who lately (what ones survive anyway), and I've really anjoyed them! It's nice that ol' Doc isn't so omnipotent in those days. Ian and Barbara are actually allowed to be right once in a while, and so the show feels a lot less like the grown-up leading a bunch of eight-year-olds through a construction site.
What's more, Susan brings a totally different dynamic to the show. It's a shame that she's the only family we see of the Doctor throughout the show's run, and that she only appears in the first two seasons, and in one special later on. Some of that is regained when Romana joins up much later, biut for her episodes there is no human sidekick for the Doctor, removing some much-needed perspective from the show.
I've been trying to make a FPP out of first-season Doctor Who, but the only place I know of to get them is bittorrent, sadly.

If you're watching Classic Who, I recommend this list as an easy way to track what you have and haven't seen. I'm currently just under 40% of the classic series, including the lost episodes.
And while it won't do for a FPP, there are a lot of First Doctor serials available on the DVD side of Netflix, which is where I'm getting them.

I didn't find any such channel, just fragments. Certainly if I made a FPP it'd have to include all of the first episode, and the BBC seems to have been diligent in removing fragments of it, which is just as grossly short-sighted of them as when they destroyed old master episodes of the show.
The best I found in my YouTube searching was a fan-made cartoon recreation of the first episode.

I've seen every episode from Pertwee through to about two or three serials into Sylvester McCoy, thanks to Georgia Public Television's long-time dedication to the show. I have yet to watch even the first episode of New Who, however. The altered premise kind of bugs me. Sure the old Gallifreyans were stodgy at best and assholes at worst, but at least it was something like a home for the Doctor.

You know, I like these, but I can't help think "wrong!" at a bundle of them. K9 was the Doctor's only non-humanoid companion is wooly enough to cover Chameleon, but "Adric being the only major ompanion to die" forgets aterina and Sara Kingdom previously. I stoppped reading then.

Ian and Barbara are actually allowed to be right once in a whiled to be right once in a while
I maintain that Barbara Wright is the original Doctor. The Hartnell Doctor learned how to be the Doctor from Barbara.
When we first see the Hartnell Doctor, he's a recluse who's content to live long term in a junkyard. When pressed, he becomes a kidnapper. When he does begin traveling, he insists that it's dangerous to change the timeline. He shows startlingly little empathy for anyone other than his granddaughter. Barbara is the one who has the characteristics we associate with the Doctor; she's bold, principled, intelligent, decisive and most of all curious. Can't change the timeline? Those Aztecs are committing human sacrifice! "Behold, I am the great goddess Yotaxa, and I am displeased!" Like the Doctor we know, she wants to intervene in the timeline to help whenever she sees people in trouble. Her career as a companion ends when she steals a Dalek time machine to send herself and Ian back to 1965.
Other than having two hearts, Barbara is the Doctor. If I really wanted to beanplate it, I'd tell a yarn about how traveling back to 1965 somehow caused her to regenerate into the form of white haired old codger...

Did no one else spot the major error with K-9? He is listed as one person, when in fact there is K-9 who leaves with Leela when she stays to marry Andred on Gallifrey. Then there is K-9 Mk II who stays in e-space with Romana II. You can't consider the two Romanas as separate characters and list the two K-9s as one character.
They would not be pleased with this at all.

For those who want a timeline of events for this past season, I've been working on one of them, namely River's (I'd try to put together Rory and Amy's, but thinking in two directions is already hard enough). Latest update, including box set bonus shorts, here (spoilers, obvs). However, I suspect we haven't seen the last of River because of certain gaps and so it will likely have to be corrected before the end of Moffat's run.

If you haven't listened to the audio dramas because you feel this way, you're missing out. I love Smith, but McGann might even be a stronger "current" Doctor than 11.

Yeah, McGann is a weird one for me, because while the movie sucked (and everyone agrees on this) it really wasn't his fault, and he did all the radio dramas when no one else was making any new Who at all, and this was clearly a role he adored and he just got shafted by Murdoch, and...
Well, I like seeing McGann in these compilations. He's been canonized as the 8th Doctor, nothing you can do about that, so let's let him in, right?

Yeah, I'm not going to lose any sleep over any Paul McGann material. I'll happily throw out anything that involves him since that means accepting the premise that the Fox movie is Doctor Who.
As far as I'm concerned "canon" ends with McCoy, everything else is optional.
For really good audio dramas check out Gallifrey and Dalek Empire. U.N.I.T. looks promising as well as Sarah Jane.
Helicon Prime is the only one I've listened to that featured a version of the Doctor and it was brilliant with Frazer Hines doing both the Second Doctor and Jamie.

Canon or not, the New Eighth Doctor Adventures are good. The last two seasons had some phenomenal writing. "Hope is jam tomorrow! It's the starlight in the storm. The candle 'round the corner!" and all of that.
In other words, your loss. But a pretty sizable one.

Yes they do. In that version of the story. Everything is canon so long as it's called Doctor Who and has the BBC logo it counts. Even the Cushing films and Dimensions in Time. Just assume that time can be rewritten, even the fundamentals of the Whoniverse and go with. Otherwise you end up losing sleep over when Planet of the Dead is set.

I read the Paul Cornell article you linked. That's not the conclusion he drew. His conclusion was that "in Doctor Who there is no such thing as ‘canon’" due to the fact that the Doctor keeps rewriting his own history. That seems right to me. It might explain why so many of the early episodes are missing altogether.

Yes, Barbara is particularly awesome in that episode! Later companions don't get to be that awesome. Ian's also particularly great there.
I wish Marco Polo, the first real historical, survived. I'm convinced that abandoning historicals was a mistake for classic Who -- why is it important that your hero can travel in time if he can't actually travel to a recognizable time? It also gives human companions a chance to shine, even if it is rather unlikely that the supposedly-random destinations the TARDIS chooses would end up being a relatively short period of Earth's history over and over again.

I've seen that Paul Cornell article before, it's not bad but it does have some silly things to say. First of all there absolutely are caonocity debates in other fandom. Oz, Star Wars, Star Trek. And saying "there is no canon" is fine as an official decree, but it's also a cop out. It's impossible to discuss the larger fictional universe without defining what is in or not in it.
In Star Wars Boba Fett can not both be a journeyman protected from Concord Dawn who was born as Jaster Mereel, exiled for the killing of another protector, and also be the clone "son" of some jack ass name Jango Fett.
In Doctor Who the Doctor can not both be half human and not half human. He can not both be a cousin born of the Loom and have a grand-daughter.
Marvel deals with this via a multi-verse. Which is fine, different stories can happen in similar but discrete universes that don't overlap with each other. So you just define what verse you are using as your frame of reference, Earth 616 defiantly experienced some events and not others.
Daleks in Manhattan wasn't a terrible story, right up until the whole silly Dalek Human hybrid thing. Beside that it's a pretty good Dalek story.
