I saw it in London in December 1995... how long was their run? Were they the stars?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Huh, so the opener of this season's Doctor Who is "Revenge of the Shmoo"?
Or, for you Sealab 2021 fans out there, "Who Squishface!"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
OMG!!!! They're going to remake Blakes 7? That's FABULOUS!
...except where, OMG, it's probably going to be shit. Oh no! Please don't be shit! Please be good! I mean, Sky...and, and...oh, please be good! Even though it's cheesy 70s space opera, there's so much about Blakes 7 that's awesome (although its apostrophe lack isn't one of those things), and it gave me My Very First Moment of Heartbreaking Minear-esque Fannish HSQ with the end of the series, when I was, er 8 years old, and I was just gutted that it ended (and ended thus). And of course in later years one can rewatch it and enjoy the fact that they spent their shoestring budget on bondage gear and fabulous evening gowns, and that they're a ragtag bunch of bickerers, and that they lose their idealistic Robin Hood figure pretty early doors and that Avon is the most magnificently camp badass geek antihero in the history of slash, and that people shag, and it's all grey areas and moral dubiousness rather than black hats and white hats, and and and oh please don't let it suck!!!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I've been thinking about this all week so, I'll just say it: Why the frak didn't any of the new Cylons go to Athena and tell her and ask for her help?
And who is watching Hera while her parents are on the secret mission?
Ok, I'm done now.

So I'd HEARD about the Rose appearence in Doctor Who, but if I hadn't, I'm not sure I would have recognized her. The blond thing is new, right?
Meanwhile, I kinda love the idea of a companion who is JUST along for the ride (which is what I thought Martha was going to be). It might be interesting if the Master shows up again, because she might be swayed in going over.
On a related note, besides Rose, has a companion lasted a significant amount of time with multiple Doctors?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

nope
I totally did not recognize her. At all. Probably because I haven't rewatched the Eccleston DVDs yet, but still.
Premature senior moments. grumble grumble grumble

If you count the Brigadier, he spanned multiple stories with several Doctors.
