I've been using TIQ on the forum to catch up on the classics because I would say I had probably seen about 5% of them beforehand, but watching them in there, totally out of order, hasn't hindered the experience. There are stories that we have watched that have had both direct and indirect links to other stories, but having only seen perhaps one story and not the other hasn't left me any more confused about what has been going on than I suspect it might if I was watching in order.

As others have said, its moreso in the new series that continuity and canon have come into play a lot more. I think Series 5 and 6 especially have been heavy on continuity and dipping in and out of them would leave me a lot more confused. The only way I think you could get really lost with the classics is not tuning in for every part of the story, but that's not really a continuity problem. You'd be just as lost if you chose to read random chapters of a book, so stuff like that is to be expected.

Oh my god Karen, you can't just ask someone why they're white!
