Who likes "Dr Who"?

Poll question: Who likes "Dr Who"?

Who likes "Dr Who"?

[CrownPrinceBandar]

1. I joined the fan club as a kid...

I still have my membership card and my "mood" Dr. Who logo pin.

[ikojo]

24. Which fan club foamdad?

There was a real active one here in St Louis called the CIA: Celestial Intervention Agency. I think it is still around but now focuses on general sci-fi and not only Dr Who.

[everythingsxen]

2. I "like" Dr. Who in the broad sense..

however, a lot of it was too.. umm.. beyond me.

[bif]

3. Some of the episodes were pretty good

But a lot of them were really corny.

[Deja Q]

4. Well, I'll give you three guesses...

Uh, make that seven. :evilgrin:

Eight, actually...

Or nine. The BBC is working on a new version, 13 50-minute episodes (:wow:) to debut in Spring 2005, unless Tony Blair-witch disbands the BBC first...

Or eight, I can't believe the Americanized Doctor is canon. He's just a better looking copycat of the 5th Doctor, who looked delicious in that wig... :D Obviously, the BBC is taking a big chance. Most sci-fi coming out of the BBC (eg Neverwhere, Crime Traveller, et al) seem to be limited to 6 eps per season... but I might be missing something, I haven't kept up with them in years...

5. Just Added 32 Dr who avatars to my gallery

:7
Just please dont put them in your sig line, unless you upload to your own server. I need people to use them as avatars or upload them to their own server, or my site will crash:cry:

17. Thanks much for the Dr Who avatars!!!

So nice....

Addendum: I right clicked on the photo and saved it to my C drive..I hope that is correct and does not use any of your bandwidth.

6. Former roomie had a complete set of videos

Good thing I was a fan.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

7. I could take anyone at DU on when it comes to Doctor Who trivia.

In fact, consider that a challenge, DU.

P.S. The Sixth Doctor isn't canon in my book, purely for reasons of overall shitness.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

8. P.S. Thanks Mobius. I took a Tom.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

9. OK. What did I do wrong? I see no Tom.

On edit. There he is. Now I am foolish.

[Deja Q]

10. McCoy was worse...

Few stories were crap (e.g. "Twin Dilemma", "Delta and the Bannermen", "The Gunfighters", "Ghost Light", season 17...); but as the 80s progressed, the production quality was generally lacklustre if not poor.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. Sadly the worst story is during Tom's Reign,

I direct you to (of course!) The Horns of Nimon. Closely followed by the aforementioned Twin Dilemma and Dragonfire. McCoy was doomed by his first season, which is probably the worst overall. However bad Season Seventeen (the Pantomime season) was, it still had the majestically silly City of Death.

[Nikia]

15. I liked McCoy

Or maybe I really liked Ace. Ace was awesome.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

18. McCoy's second season was pretty damn good.

I liked him, he had the mystery worked out.

[ikojo]

19. I am not as up on my DW trivia as I was say 20 years

ago but back in da day....NO ONE not even the MASTER could beat me!

I knew my Who!

Of course I was obsessed to say the least.

Anyone here ever read the fanzines? My favorite Dr Who fan artist was Cheryl Duvall from New Orleans. She was awesome!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

21. My expertise is the Baker era.

But then, Tom Baker is the Sean Connery of Doctor Who.

[ikojo]

23. You are SO right SLB!

I am not into 007 but I understand the comparison.

I loathed Peter Davison...as a matter of fact there was a filk song back in the '80s about the 5th Doctor called "Dr Who is going preppy." I cannot remember the words but if I get a hankering I'll look through my old fanzines and see if I cand find it and will post it.

The Fourth Doctor was my obsession as well. I still have my scarf (both kinds...the multi colored one as well as the more purple toned one).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

25. Davison played it too human, that was the problem.

I like him, and I like his acting, but the best actors to play the part (Baker, Troughton, maybe McCoy and Pertwee) managed to capture the essential alienness of the role. Pertwee was great, but too human, too suave, authoritarian, like the Timelord Pierre Trudeau, really. Baker had the anarchic side of the character perfectly.

[Nikia]

12. I do

That was my favorite show as a teenager. I secretly hoped that there really was a Doctor and I would be his next companion.

[MrSlayer]

13. Chiming in for "ick".

[ms_splash]

14. Ever seen the Dr. Who montage to "Beat it"?

We have it on video from when I was taping Red Dwarf episodes.

Hilarious

[Duckiesplaything]

16. I didn't get into the series

Until Tom Baker, so he is naturally my favorite Dr., but I have to say that I've lucked into seeing some of the older episodes and really enjoyed most of them. Used to watch it on the weekends along with A show called The Goodies... (Gotta love that wonderful British humor).

[mopinko]

20. always thought the best job in the world

was costume design for that show. especially loved the way they recycled those old opera costumes.

[Duckiesplaything]

26. My Mom used to Crochet

And I had her make me a scarf back in the day, a long wide scarf looked just like the Doc's...I used to wear it all the time...

[mopinko]

27. i still wear mine

my sister knitted me one 20+ years ago, and it has kept me warm through many a chicago winter.

22. Checking in

Incidentally, they rerun Doctor Who episodes at 11 PM and 11:30 PM Saturday nights on WYBE in the Philly area...so if you don't know what we're talking about, tune in Saturday night!
