I gave up trying to download the new Doctor Who episodes. I have a dial up connection and it was taking forever. So instead I bought Volume 1 of the series which contains, episodes 1-3. I bought it today at Sendit.com which was formerly called Blackstar.com The price for the three episodes was just 9.99 uk price! 9.99 in US dollars is equivalent to about $16.00. So I bought Volume I and pre-ordered Volume II which comes out on June 13th.

I know that they will be coming out with a box set of the first new season of Doctor Who in November, but I can’t wait that long without knowing whether or not the show will ever be picked up by a US broadcaster.

I can watch a UK DVD because as I’ve written before I have a regionless DVD player. It was rendered regionless because I had to hack into it. I did it by buying a cheap DVD player. I had to get a cheap one because it’s very difficult to hack into more expensive DVD player’s. Anyway, I got this particular DVD player a couple of years ago because I wanted to see the 1996 Fox TV movie of Doctor Who which was only available for region 2 DVD players, eg UK and Japan.
