Challenge: Doctor Who popular in the United States

No ten year old should miss out on Doctor Who.
Given that kids grow up quicker now perhaps I should say no eight year old.
And check out Terry Nation’s Blake’s 7 and Survivors too.

Blake's 7 is amazing. Never heard of Survivors.

When I was picking up "Starlog" around the end of the 70s, early 80s, there was plenty of Dr. Who coverage. It wasn't as big as Star Trek or Star Wars, but it was solid.
 
Well, since it's here (and I got into Doctor Who about a month ago)... :p

The best way, IMHO, is to get an American actress as Companion. Grace Park busting Daleks, anyone? :D

The BBC would need to operate a free broadcast network in the USA in the 1960's and 1970's that only showed British shows. With wider distribution, there would be a lot more fans.

Pertwee was good, Baker was brilliant, and nobody else was any good.

And there was only one Mrs. Peel on The Avengers.


Aaaah! The old "which Doctor was best" debate.

Have to go with Pat Troughton. Hartnell was good but in a completely unqique portrayal of the Doctor. My fellow Sutton Who fans will tell you my thoughts on Pertwee are unpostable.

The Third Doctor was my introduction to the Whoniversse Venusian Aikido, The Sea Devils (we lived by the sea and they freaked me out :eek: ) Daleks, The Brig, Jo (!!!!!)

Then

It got the awesomeness that was the Fourth Doctor

The new series have been excellent, long may it continue. I think that the Eleventh Doctor may well end being my all time favourite!
