The Countdown Begins - One week and counting

Just one week from today until the challenge starts. Exciting!

I'm trying to plan ahead as much as possible to ensure that all episodes are available to me by the dates I need them. The missing episodes are going to be the biggest challenge but I do already have some reconstructions of them and I'm hoping YouTube will fill in any blanks.

I've been "training" up by trying to watch an episode of Blackadder every day from the start which went well until I got to series 4 by which point I forgot one day and then things began to unravel. Hopefully this will prepare me better for the years ahead. Lol, can't believe I'm saying years, that's mental! But as I keep telling people, its only really 25 minutes out of my day so how hard can it be!

I'm still experimenting with how blogging works before the official experiment kicks off. Here is a picture of the TARDIS hopefully....


Woo hoo! I think that worked. How exciting.

In all honesty I think it very unlikely that I will get an episode in every day but that's the challenge for now. If I fall behind I will just have to catch up as soon as possible.

The Aim Of The Blog

Starting from the 23rd November 2011, I am going to attempt to watch one episode of Doctor Who every day starting from the very beginning in 1963. Currently I believe this will take me to around April 2014 but by the time I reach then there will be even more episodes to watch! Fingers crossed there will be anyway.

I am also going to include The Sarah Jane Adventures (including K9 and Company) and Torchwood.

I really do not know how successful this will be but I'll see how I get on and try to report on my progress.
