Doctor Who!

Favourite doctors: Tom Baker and Matt Smith

Favourite companions: K9 and Donna

I don't have a favourite story, but the other characters I loved were River Song and Missy (best "baddie" ever)

My favorite Doctor is definitely David Tennant, probably because he’s who I grew up watching. When I was younger, Rose was my favorite companion, but as I got older, I realized I connected more with Donna. It's not just because I’m a redhead; I learned to appreciate their friendship. I love Doctor Who, but I often feel like an imposter in the community because I struggle with change, so I only ever watch David Tennant's era. I love his era so much that I wrote my 5,000-word dissertation on it!

Is that the old Davros or the new Davros?

A sad story.  I believe that schools do more to counter bullying nowadays.

I had a friend in school who was into dr who. I mean Big Time. Got bullied mercilessly. Every body told him it was a stupid and lame.  Eventually he gave up and...It’s hard to describe and I don’t have the report on hand right now (I’m not at home, but I ‘collect’ autopsy reports; true crime writer lol), but he essentially hung himself..  he tied the noose to a railing and jumped off the top of a parking structure. The force tore his head off. I was a few miles away. I’ve always wondered if he meant to decapitate himself, since it isn’t unheard of for that to be a suicide cause of death and it seemed pretty well planned. It was crazy. R.I.P. Marko.

I think that for most people there is a specific age window that corresponds with their favourite Dr.

For me it was Tom Baker (yes' I'm that old) but I did like Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant and Rose timeline.

The sound of drums was a good story and John Simms was excellent as a deranged Master.

Dude... it's that time of the year again

NO one ver scares me as much as Davros.

S17 - City of death John Cleese cameo - perfect!

A few years ago I was looking into a charity shop windows where I saw what I assumed to be dummies, all of a sudden they started moving and also smiling. Perhaps they were trying to recreate the auton scene from "Spearhead from space".  It gave me a fright.

The Shop Dummies, that freaked me out for years too.

I haven't been impressed by the post 1989 Doctor Whos. I prefer the older ones in particular, William Hartnell, Patrick Trougton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and Sylvester (who's main companion was Ace).  One of my favourite stories is "The Mind Robber".  i also liked "Spearhead from space" which had what appeared to be shop window dummies that came to life (Autons).

My favourte villain was "The Master", played by Roger Delgado.

Patrick Trougton later starred in a children's film called "A Hitch in Time" about an eccentric scientist with a time machine.

My favourite doctor is the 13th doctor!!!! I think she’s so cool and I really relate to her and I love Jodie Whittaker and her relationship with Yaz, who is probably my favourite companion!!! However I think my favourite story is Rogue from the newest season, although I don’t like the ending because it’s sad. Other than that I think it’s one of the best doctor who episodes ever! I’ve also watched a few Classic episodes (I prefer the ones in colour lol) and I love the Paul McGann film. And Sarah Jane is another one of my favourite companions.

How about adorable K9? what a good dog!

I vaguely remember this.. Will investigate to freshen memory.

Does anyone else remember the cybermen episodes when they had cybermats, some kind of creepy cyber rats? I can't remember who the Dr was then, but I remember they really scared me. Cybermen really scared my full stop!

did you talk?

No, we descended several floors of a multi-story carpark in a dignified silence.

Could you have thought of an original witticism linking a lift with a Tardis?...... I couldn't.
