My first Doctor was Tom Baker. I watched episodes on PBS and my eighth-grade self was stunned that the lead character on a TV show could be replaced by another actor.
Clearly, I had forgotten Darren Stephens.
My favorite Doctor is Five, but in the Big Finish audios, it tends to be Six.
I loved Five and his crew. As my parents’ marriage fell apart during my teen years the Doctor, Tegan, Nyssa and Adric became my escape family.
If I had the TARDIS for one day, I would take Tim Gunn back to the 80s and fix this:
It makes me 23% less angry in daily life to pretend the Matt Smith years never happened.
I ran into David Tennant in the hotel at ComiCon and blurted out “I love you.” No context, no anything . Celebs & me=awkward. He was extremely gracious and didn’t call security.
I wonder if the Queen has seen any episodes of Doctor Who.
I could watch Derek Jacobi realize he is the Master about 14,247 times and not get tired of that moment.
I wanted to become a newspaper reporter because of Clark Kent, but I wanted to become an investigative journalist because of Sarah Jane Smith.
I’ve never supported them, but I owe PBS a LOT of money for introducing me to this show.
I fully support casting a woman or person of color as the next Doctor.
