Been a doctor fan since it's inception in 63'...and yes I'm just that old:-) but then again...'People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.'...right, off then, toodles!0

Turlough was at Gallifrey One this past weekend!0

I've never been to *anything* like that, but I now vow to visit Gallifrey One next year (and LebowskiFest sometime this year).
I might be able to pull off a Gwen Cooper with a non-curly wig...0 -
Ah, this makes me so happy! So many Whovians! Everyone I know thinks I'm crazy for watching it. All I say now is it is impossible to explain, you gotta just watch!0

Huge DW fan.I started watching with #4 (I'm that old too). Adored Christopher Eccleston, I agree he gets short changed. Can't wait for the 2nd Doctor Sunday on BBCA.0

Just started season 3, however I have seen random episodes out of order.
My very first was the library, then the 2nd was the weeping angels...both were effing creepy as all hell!0 -
Those angels are right terrifying.0

I've been watching Doctor Who my whole life.
OK since I was like 4.
The Seventh Doctor is my favorite!0 -
Eight was my first. Nine is my favourite, but I have a soft spot for Ten closely followed by Five and Four.
I LOVE Doctor Who, and just got my bf addicted, too!
Rose and Turlough are my favourite companions. I can't STAND Amy (or Matt Smith). Blegh!
There are a bunch of BBC Audio dramas with Eight. They are fantastic!0 -
Anyone see Community tonight? "Inspector Spacetime" convention!0

I want to go back and see episodes with the 8th... loved Paul McGann in the Horatio Hornblower series.0 -
Unfortunately he only has the movie and a bunch of radio plays.0

Hey spud_chick - Inspector Space Time was at Gallifrey One, as well. You definitely have to go next year!0

Thank heaven I'll have time to bone up on the pre-reboot catalogue before then. So much to learn!0 -
Hi, I'm a big Doctor Who fan. I've watched the show from the reboot in 2005 and before that I saw the TV movie 1996 and can even remember watching it with my Grandad in the 80s. I distinctly remembered the hovering Dalek in Remembrance of the Daleks.
I've recently started re-watching the series from 2005 onwards as a Facebook friend has just started watching and wanted to start at the 'beginning' (of new who that is!) and have been reviewing episodes on my blog.
I like the Doctors since 2005 but (controversially maybe) prefer Eccleston to Tennant. Smith is my fave in the new era though. Don't think I've seen enough classic Who to have a fave overall Doctor though.0 -
Best part about a companion named Amy in the show, is hearing the Doctor say my name. :blushing: Have to admit, when I first got to those episodes and heard him say "Amy", especially in a soft voice, my heart got all fluttery.
What? I'm 44, but I'm not dead!
LOL
lol Think I'll need to start watching more Troughton episodes.

I thought it was Terry Nation?0 -
Wow, the Wikipedia page has already been updated;

Development
Wishing to create an alien creature that did not look like a "man in a suit", Terry Nation stated in his script for the first Dalek serial that they should have no legs.[53] He was also inspired by a performance by the Georgian National Ballet, in which dancers in long skirts appeared to glide across the stage.[53] For many of the shows, the Daleks were "played" by retired ballet dancers wearing black socks while sitting inside the Dalek.[27] Raymond Cusick (who died on 21 Feb 2013)[54] was given the task of designing the Daleks when Ridley Scott, then a designer for the BBC, proved unavailable after having been initially assigned to their debut serial.[55] An account in Jeremy Bentham's Doctor Who—The Early Years (1986) says that after Nation wrote the script, Cusick was given only an hour to come up with the design for the Daleks, and was inspired in his initial sketches by a pepper shaker on a table.[56] Cusick himself, however, states that he based it on a man seated in a chair, and only used the pepper shaker to demonstrate how it might move.[57]0
