"Children are such survivors!"

I hope you kids North of the border know just how lucky you are... and if not, your parents should remind you.

Canada's BBC Kids network is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Doctor Who with 40 back-to-back episodes starting on November 23 at 10am. The marathon runs through Monday, November 24 at 6am. "Forty years after it's debut, Doctor Who – airing exclusively in Canada on BBC Kids – consistently attracts loyal viewers and has spawned legions of followers and exhaustive fan sites," says John Gill, Senior V.P. Programming, BBC Kids. "BBC Kids is celebrating this milestone in style, offering viewers the opportunity to relive The Doctor's many adventures while introducing a whole new generation of fans to the classic villains and monsters of intergalactic travel." BBC Kids’ time travel marathon will feature nine favourite storylines featuring Tom Baker as The Doctor, including two stories written by the late Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy). The marathon includes "The Ark in Space," "Genesis of the Daleks," "Pyramids of Mars," "The Deadly Assassin," "The Robots of Death," "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," "The Pirate Planet," "City of Death," and "Logopolis".

"City of Death" is one of my very favorite Doctor Who episodes.

It is one of the very best. On UK Gold next week.

Currently watching "Armagedon Factor" the last part of the key to time sequence. It would seem that I missed most of this one first time around.

I do recall there is another Time Lord who called the Doctor "Thete" for the first time.
