Good or bad, I'm just tickled I can finally watch the show in high definition!

I know BBC America itself has offered a hi-def signal for some time, but until just a few weeks ago, DirecTV has not bothered to provide it.  Well, alittle over a month ago, DirecTV finally started broadcasting TCN's hi-def signal and about a fortnight later, BBCA.

So Saturday night right before 9 PM DST, I anled my 47 inch screen; stretched upon the sofa; turned on the tele' and tuned the channel to 264.

If nothing else, the Daleks never looked better!

Oh, hopefully this won't spoil anything, but I enjoy the idea Daleks can engage in conversation beyond the ranting "chant" of "Exterminate!"  It helps reenforce the idea that there are "creatures" within those shells, and that they are not simply robots.  It makes them far more creepy.  (Which is why I liked the "Cult of Skaro", Daleks waxing philosophical, disturbing stuff.)

Sincerely,

Bill
