Doctor Who

Doctor Who


In 2005, after a 15-year hiatus, DOCTOR WHO returned to British television as a weekly series and immediately became one of the most watched programs on the BBC.

Christopher Eccleston's Doctor is wise, funny and brave; an adventurer in time and space. His detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world is in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That's why he needs Rose (Billie Piper). Rose is a shop-girl from the present day, trapped in a dull existence. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soulmates. They understand and complement each other. With nothing to hold Rose back — neither her over-bearing mum nor her hapless boyfriend — she chooses the Doctor and his promise of fantastic adventures across the universe.

Doc Martin

Doc Martin

DOC MARTIN is a catchy comedy drama that stars Martin Clunes (Men Behaving Badly) as Martin Ellingham, whose truculence and tactless manner causes mayhem in a small Cornish community.

The series follows the celebrated London surgeon, who unfortunately has developed a phobia to blood. After retraining as a general practitioner, he gets a job in the beautiful but sleepy village of Portwenn replacing their deceased local doctor. But his abrasive personality doesn’t exactly mesh with the pace of life in Cornwall.

The votes are in, but we can't announce a winner because our goal of $5000 was not met. Without this dollar goal, we may not be able to purchase a full season of either show. Stay tuned...
