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!
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.

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 -
Love, love, love Doctor Who!! I'm actually wearing some Who jewlery today... red converse earrings and a bow tie necklace :happy:
My best friend started me with 9 and I've been hooked ever since! :flowerforyou: You always remember your first,
but I'm in love with 10! With netflix I've started from the beginning, so funny to see how it all started and how far it's come. 0 -
I started watching during the 10th Doctor's reign (I started with the 9th Doctor, though)! The 11th and 4th Doctor are my favorites. I'm currently learning how to do half crochet so I can make my own Tom Baker scarf :happy:0

I think it's actually supposed to be knit but I'm going to do crochet because it's supposed about 100x easier and I'm a total newb. It's the same basic idea anyway, yeah?0 -

The yarn length for the tassels should be 12 inches, not 1 inch.
I really wanted to make the shorter "stunt" version but carpal tunnel and trigger thumb ended my knitting days.0 -

I thought it was Terry Nation?
Nation was the writer on all the early Dalek stories and came up with the concept of them. Cuisack designed the iconic look of them but gets very little credit because he was on the BBC payroll working as a designer rather than a writer.0 -

It's nice that he got some posthumous props, at least.0 -

Saw the movie with Paul McGann today. Kind of surprised it didn't restart an interest in the series right then. I liked.0 -
Less than 2 weeks to go. :happy:0

I fell in love with Doctor Who, in November, have since watched all the new ones, up to the next episode, (Which I can't wait for!!) 10's my favorite too but they all have good points. I'm starting now to watch the old ones, at least the ones on Netflix.

I tend to listen to Doctor Who podcasts when on the treadmill. Stops me getting bored.
Me too, I suspect the Great Intelligence (from the Christmas episode and shown again right at the end of the episode) has something to do with her either directly or indirectly.
Loved how the bells of St John wasn't what I was expecting. Was so obvious the second they showed the TARDIS!0 -
BBC officially confirmed David Tennant and Billie Piper will be back for the 50th anniversary special

my feelings on this:

I've heard all kinds of speculation who Clara might be, but I kinda hope that she's something new. Like an alien similar to a Time Lord, or something. Please don't let her be River, or anyone else we've already met.
I'm not a big Rose fan, but the 10th Doctor is my favorite!0
