Doctor Who

[Guest Jaques]

We have a blue police box in our town.................just like they used to be everywhere when i was young - everyones having their photos taken outside it.

I thin a lot of the time we like best whoever was Dr Who when we started watching-for me it was Tom Baker. I became a fan from the first episode I saw just as Tom Baker started-it was so different from anything else on then. Hard now to imagine how regimented and narrow tv was here then. Dr Who was on Public television which carried a lot of British programming -and also introduced me to Monty Python. I was a big sci fi fan but didn't know anyone else who was. But it was the humor more than the sci fi aspect that appealed to me I think.

Ive been watching Dr Who since it began in black and white, when William Hartnell was the Doctor.

My goodness Jaques! I salute you, sir.

Anyone ever notice that Amy and Rory have somewhat reversed gender roles in their relationship? It reminds me somewhat of my own marriage.

[Guest Jocelyn]

I have been a follower of the Doctor since the 80's, sitting here watching "Space" great show called

"Doctor Who, Doctors revisted", showing some of the first episodes very cool.

cheers

One of my all time favorite shows! I have been a fan since 3 yrs old! My favorite doctor is Tom Baker.

Two of my favorites are Pyramids of Mars and Image of the Fendhal

I'm afraid I too remember the late great William Hartnell as the first Doctor. The original series were great for their time, but now, when repeated, the effects do let them down I'm sad to say.

Of the new batch, David Tennant is the best, with Chris Ecclestone as a very close runner-up. Can't stand this current mophead, he's actually come close to my finishing as a Whovian, looking forward to Peter Capaldi though come the 50th Anniversary show this will be the one to watch I think! The BBC have released some details of the 50th Anniversary as well, not sure of the dates though.

Favourite companion, has to be Sarah Jane Smith (RIP Liz Sladen) followed by Leela (as she was), Amy, Rose Tyler, then Martha Jones.

Hey PJ,

One of the very few that lists Christopher among their favorites, I wish he had made more episodes - he brought a real depth to the character that some seem to miss, David of course continued with that depth but Matt seemed to take it a step back to a lot less concern about what had happened and what the consequences of his current actions.

We all have favorite moments but for me my favorite moment for the 9th Doctor was near the end of the episode "The Doctor Dances" (Part 2 of "The Hollow Child") when he through a handful of nanobots into the air and shouted, "Tonight everybody lives!"

Sarah Jane was the class of the companions and the one that I tend to compare each to - I was so sorry to hear of Liz Sladen's passing.

Hearing of the passing of our favorite actors gives us a slight insight to how the Doctor must feel as he leaves each companion behind knowing that he will outlive them all.

Love ya,

Sally

For those who cannot receive ME/TV or TVLand, you tube has a lot of old Dr Who videos available.

The Great News is that as far as the UK is concerned, the 50th Anniversary show will be shown on November 23rd 2013.

You tube also has a number of videos from the Sarah Jane Adventures!

[Guest CassieX]

Love the show!

I remember as a child hiding behind the couch in the living room when there was a scary bit. Like many others, Tom Baker was my favorite of the old Doctors. All the talk of Jelly Babies has made me want to go buy some at the British store we have here locally

Doesn't the new season start next month?

Doesn't the new season start next month?

Cassie

Unfortunately no, not in the UK anyway.

There is the 50th Anniversary special on the 23rd of November, and a quote on the BBC's Dr Who website suggests that there will be another new adventure before series 8 starts in the New Year.

But before series 8 we have two epic adventures to look forward to, starting with The Day of the Doctor on 23 November…

[Sally]

You have to love the Fourth Doctor - Jelly Babies are so much better than Fish Sticks and Custard - that reminds me - breakfast time!

Love ya,

Sally

I am a newly converted whovian. And so, I have thought this, what if the doctor became a woman from one of his transformations.

[Guest robin777]

So Did everyone enjoy the Christmas Show? I thought it was very good and I will miss Matt Smith as the Doctor.

[Guest April Kristie]

It's still on the TiVo, so easy on the spoilers!

[Charlize]

I've gone off the Doctor a bit now. Too much kissy face and violence by the Doctor. I loved Tom Baker and giving the bad guys some jelly babies and enjoying the company not the bodies of hot companions. Just an old girls rant.

Hugs,

Charlie

My life would not be complete without it, it upsets me knowing that the 12th doctors episodes wont be shown till august

[Guest EmmaPark94]

So glad I saw this topic today, I love Doctor Who! I started off on the 2005 series, and I was hooked. I haven't seen very many classic episodes, does that make me a bad Whovian? -shrugs- I'm not sure.. Definitely excited for Capaldi as 12.
