I was born and grew up in South Korea, and back in 1970’s not many people owned a TV. I was living in a rural area and my family was luckily one of very few families that owned a TV in that area. Our TV was an American one with brand name Zenith (which no longer exists). There were only two TV channels available, and not many programs for kids to watch. So when something like Doctor Who was aired on TV, it became one of the most exciting moments for me. I remember watching only one particular season of Doctor Who, though I am not sure if it was the only season that was aired on TV.
Recently, I found out that my cancer relapsed and I have been undergoing cancer treatments. As a typical side effect of chemotherapy, I have been struggling a lot with the so called chemo brain or brain fog, especially I am having trouble with my memory. But one day, I just remembered about that particular season of Doctor Who for no reason. Perhaps nostalgia for the old time, I decided to search for the season. The only things I remembered were Autons (back then I was pretty terrified by them), a carnival (circus), and plastic daffodils. With help of the internet, those were enough clues for me to find out the season. It was the eighth season (1971) Terror of the Autons. To my pleasant surprise, an internet search turned up free online streaming of the eighth season (all 4 parts), so I was happy to be able to watch them again. You can watch them at Dailymotion:
