Talk to me Doctor Who fans
Who is your favourite Doctor?
Who is your favourite companion?
What's your favourite story?
My first doctor was Jon Pertwee, so I will always have a soft spot for him. But like Uhane, my favourite is Tom Baker. I watched religiously as a youngster from later Jon and stopped at Colin Baker. I resumed with Christopher Eccleston and still watch.
When the BBC put the classic episodes on iPlayer, I started with the later Jon and am slowly working my way through them. I'm still on Tom as I it is taking some time.
I was pleasantly surprised by Leela. My memories, being a young boy, were of her costume. In rewatching, she was the most kick a r s e feminist (for 70s) companion ever, and wasn't a scream queen. Shame she wasn't around longer.
yea, she did age well and I'm seeing her now as much more of kick-ass than when the episodes where first broadcast. She is more interesting on 2nd walking, for sure!
