I love technology. I can flip a switch and illuminate my room. I can strike a string with a pick, and the noise will be amplified until it drowns out the noises my neighbor and his girlfriend make. With a few keystrokes, I can insult someone on the other side of the world whom I'll never meet face-to-face.
Also, I can order DVDs from a warehouse halfway across the country. These DVDs contain images and sound recorded more than 30 years ago. These recordings were made in a different video format, and were probably not intended to have survived as long as they have. Specifically, these two particular DVDs are The Time Monster, starring Jon Pertwee, and The Horror of Fang Rock, starring Tom Baker. The Who Review will therefore unsurprisingly resume shortly after they arrive.
Other stuff that I hope will happen this week: I'll also look at a movie that's five years old (The Prestige). I'll dig around in my collection and see if I've got another Doctor Who with me that I haven't reviewed yet. And I'll run some top ten lists of my favorite songs by the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and AC/DC. If you're really, really lucky, I'll even try to examine a different popular TV show and try to understand what everyone sees in it.
