No greens. After 23, 25, and 27 cells filled you need virtuals.

Difficulty score 18. Much easier when I came back to it with a clear head (see hurshy's #1 rule of Sudoku).

spreadeagle
drwho, you still here?
2:11 pm
drwho
Spreadeagle, I'm back, if you're still there.
2:12 pm
spreadeagle
Hey doc, I have just been introduced the the "drwho" tv show and I'm having a ball.
2:12 pm
drwho
Great! Are you watching the new series, or the old classics?
2:13 pm
spreadeagle
The new series. I think the ones I'm watching are about 3 years old.
2:14 pm
drwho
I have not seen many of the new ones. The old ones were for kids. The new ones seem to be more for the adult audience that has grown up with the kids show.
2:14 pm
spreadeagle
Some of the episodes are "Rose", "Aliens in London" etc.
2:15 pm
drwho
That's the new series.
2:15 pm
drwho
The original series started in the early 1960s/
2:16 pm
spreadeagle
Some of the special effects are great, and some are just funny.
2:16 pm
drwho
In the "classic" series all the special effects were laughable.
2:16 pm
spreadeagle
Anyway, now I know where your "name" comes from.....
2:16 pm
drwho
Part of the charm of the show.
2:17 pm
spreadeagle
Netflix has them all.
2:17 pm
drwho
You can visit the Dr. Who web site:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/
2:18 pm
spreadeagle
I'll check it out. Thanks
2:18 pm
drwho
If Netflix has them all, the BBC would like to know where they found them. Some of the old episode have been lost, presumably forever.
2:19 pm
spreadeagle
Maybe I assumed too much. I thought that was all of them.
2:20 pm
drwho
The show ran consecutive seasons from 1963 to 1986. That's a lot of episodes!
2:21 pm
spreadeagle
They have 178 discs, I don't know how many episodes that represents.
2:22 pm
drwho
No, it ran to 1989, 26 years!
2:22 pm
spreadeagle
Wow, I wonder why I never heard of it before....
2:23 pm
drwho
I think they produced 26 half hour shows per year. There were about 3 shows per episode.
2:24 pm
spreadeagle
Are the old ones worth watching now, or are they just for kids?
2:25 pm
drwho
So they had 8 episodes per year.
2:27 pm
drwho
In the original 26 year run they had 8 doctors. Do you know about "regeneration"?
2:27 pm
spreadeagle
not yet
2:28 pm
drwho
I think the old ones are worth watching. I almost prefer them to the new ones.
2:28 pm
spreadeagle
The doctor just said he was 900 years old....
2:29 pm
drwho
When they have to change the actor who plays the doctor, the doctor "regenerates". That is how he manages to stay young after 900 years.
2:31 pm
spreadeagle
Makes sense. When I get through with the ones I have I'll check out some of the older ones. Do they need to be watched in sequence?
2:32 pm
ChrissieDee
drwho, did you see the world record attempt to collect the most daleks in one place in Manchester, England today. The link for the BBC website is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester
/6964745.stm
2:32 pm
drwho
No, but it might help a little. I haven't seen many of the episodes from the first 4 seasons, some of those have been lost.
2:33 pm
drwho
NO, I think I should avoid that place, get Colonel Lethbridge Stewart to nuke the place.
2:33 pm
ChrissieDee
I wasn't there, but it was on my local news
2:35 pm
ChrissieDee
I didn't watch as a child, found it too scarey. Have only watched the last few episodes cos Capt Jack is gorgeous (yes, I know he is gay)
2:37 pm
drwho
Oops, I fear I demoted Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart!
2:40 pm
spreadeagle
My chatting has interfered with my thinking, now I must start this puzzle over.....
2:41 pm
drwho
Chrissie, just checked the website. I am relieved to see that these are home made Daleks and not the "real" thing!
2:42 pm
ChrissieDee
Yes, it has been a lovely sunny day and I fear that some of the "daleks" baked in their foil suits
2:42 pm
drwho
Spreadeagle, I had to start over on this one too. I wasn't following hurshy's #1 rule of Sudoku.
2:43 pm
spreadeagle
Which is?
2:43 pm
drwho
Always do Sudoku with a clear head.
2:44 pm
spreadeagle
Yep. I agree
2:46 pm
drwho
Baked Daleks, such a lovely fate. We could also wish for fried Davros.
3:32 pm
spreadeagle
Done, after many interuptions and a start over. No greens.
