You'd think BBC America would have it, but they are practically a different company and can't afford to buy it. It was pitched to Sci-Fi, but dont know what happened.
I think the idea came from a Candian, but it has been a British production from the beginning. That's something Chas would know.
Basic plot: Renegade Time Lord (time traveller) uses stolen time machine (TARDIS-time and relative dimentions in space) to travel...er, anywhere in time and space! Typically the Doctor has companions as he has 13 lives, regenerates, and thus lives a much longer life than humans. He is ALIEN, even if he LOOKS human. He runs into trouble wherever he goes and rights the wrongs with the help of his companions...sometimes in space and sometimes in Earth's own history. Bad sets are part of the history and magic, as was overacting. But like the old Star Trek, the stories were usually top notch, which is where most of the puny budget went. "Rose" still had some crappy effects, unless the version we saw was an incompleted version.
I had a hard time with "Rose" as I am used to Paul McGann (hottie mc hot hot) as the Doctor, and used to the longer storylines carried over multiple episodes. We will see how it goes. We also got some documentaries. We actually know many of the people involved. Our friend, Paul Cornell, has written a story, a 2 parter we think, so keep your eyes peeled for him. We also know Russell T Davies, the producer. It's what happens when fans get to make the new series. :P
