Now that Season Six is over and we won't have anything new to watch till Christmas, and since our local Doctor Who club is kind of defunct, I've decided to pop all the Tom Baker stories on Netflix and run through the whole series in order.

In a room full of geeks with a big screen projector on the wall. Just about every year all of us in ORAC gather to watch the Doctor Who season opener (and closer, we got together New Years Day to watch the End of Time) So after the Fencon meeting we Matt Smith's first outing as the newest incarnation of the Doctor.
