At the request of some friends and fellow bloggers, this post is rife with shameless promotion; but we're not promoting anything you'll need your wallet for, because the whole Doctor Who Bar team has decided to unite in favor of playing more Classic Series repeats.
Over two evenings last week, BBC Four repeated the 1976 Fourth Doctor story, The Hand of Fear. This was arranged in tribute to the late Elisabeth Sladen, as it was her final regular appearance, and it was excellent to see Classic Doctor Who back on the BBC, even though it was to mark such a very sad passing.
Repeat showings of these wonderful stories are very rare these days, but they needn't be. BBC Four is perfectly suited to showing these episodes, and if this happened on a regular basis then many fans, even the casual fans, would be very happy indeed!
What if BBC Four regularly repeated the older episodes? I'm sure I'm not the only fan of the show who would jump at the opportunity to see these stories.
With ratings substantially higher than normal for BBC Four during The Hand of Fear, a session of Classic Series reruns would be beneficial for the BBC as well as for fans. To urge the BBC to change its scheduling policy in favor of Doctor Who, sign this petition and join the group on Facebook.
