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.
