With you on all counts, Graham! We must have similar taste in doctors, although I quite liked Peter Davison – possibly because I loved him so much as Tristan in 'All Creatures Great and Small'! I remember LMAO when he came out of the bandages, shouting 'It's Tristan' between fits of hysterical giggles.

Hey you missed one, I had Davidison instead of Davison. 🙂 I think that is because deep down you know he was not a very good doctor. And to think I was supposedly copying their names out of an article in the Age when I wrote it. Oh well, tired eyes and a tired mind that is in a rush…Note to self – check spelling of names. Murphy's law states that when you have a good idea for a blog post and a few people read it, it is going to be full of typos.

Hi Graham,
I dont wish to seem nitpicky because I often make mistakes-but I know you dont like them… so here's a few I picked out..

Partrick Thoughton
Joh Pertwee

Slyvester

Saw the movie at the cinema tonight – not sure if you have so won't say much – other than you should go if you can. Seeing Dr Who at the cinema alone is a big enough buzz-let alone in 3D. Though Billie Piper's face was enough to give me nightmares.. lol

I'm just glad its around – and young people love it – it's a beautiful thing.

Hi Anthony,

Seems I had a case of were/where dsylexia, all fixed, I hope.

You have to post your Doctor Who story on your blog for the anniversary.

Have to disagree on Eccleston, thought he was the coolest doctor so far.

I recorded the anniversary show this morning, so I will probably watch it tonight.

Great post Graham (though a few typos and I know you hate those).

I missed the sixties unfort but loved Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and Peter Davidson. After that I tuned out, Colin Baker killed it for me.

Here's something you might not know. I was Dr Who obsessed and writing so I wrote a long short story and sent it to the BBC in 1984. Amazingly I got a personal reply, from John Nathan Turner no less. (RIP).
I hope I've still got it. I haven't seen it for years. Must chase that up. I was also a member of the Dr. Who fan club of Victoria in the 80's. (Met a guy who played a Dalek in the 60's).

I loved Jo Grant the most and Harry too. Wasnt a big Sarah Jane fan, nor Romana's. I quite liked some of the Peter Davidson companions. And of course Peri had delightful breasts. lol

Personally I thought Chris Eccleston was miscast and was right to take himself out of the role. David Tennant was fantastic and up there with the best. (Baker and Pertwee). My only criticism of the new series is making the Dr fall in love with each of his companions (or near enough). Recent companions have been good though (though I confess to not liking Rose, as always remember her as the teenager who dated Chris Evans).

I'm off to see the Anniversary movie at the cinema on Tuesday, can't wait. (and I like the actor who has been chosen for the new Dr.)
