Subject: RE: BS: Life in Guam, uh, Guahan.
we finally got TV in 1966, 10 years after it arrived in Australia, when I was 14 & I watched Dr Who as reguarly as possible in the next 10 years till I moved out. I loved it.
I didn't see any TV until my brother went overseas 6 months later when I had custody of his TV & other furniture until he got back 2 years later. Alas, the TV died a few months after he left - I well remember trying to watch Tom Baker's Doctor regenerating on a TV with a picture that rolled & produced duplicate people - 2 unconscious Drs being carried by 4 companions!! And it wasn't a BBC special effect.
Sadly I turned it off & have never seen another episode (I've never owned a TV) but I read all the books I can get my hands on & buy the commemorative books - 30th Anniversary, 40th Anniversary ...
