oh yeah, McCoy was great too. and it could have been ThinkGeek, they have lots of geeky stuff. XD

as for the older/earlier doctors, yeah, they are kinda dry and slow. one of Tennant's (Ten) episodes had something to do with the Daleks and the Empire State Building. there was an earlier episode with Hartnell (One) that had a scene with the Daleks and the Empire State Building (in the episode The Chase) that i showed my daughters, and it just moved waaay toooo slooow for them. the scene in Ten's episode was much shorter and got the point a little quicker. maybe the storytelling was just a little slower in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, who knows. but i still liked them all the same.

as for the missing episodes, in the 60s, the BBC taped over a lot of their shows to save tape, and that's why the episodes are "lost." however, the audio is still around. some of the episodes i watched were production stills set to that audio, and some of the episodes were animated in black and white. my library system has quite a number of episodes on DVD, and i used dailymotion for the rest. they're also listed on watchseries (but i'm not sure i'd trust all those links, LOL)
