Doctor Who Geeks (not so) Anonymous

(After our antenatal thread became somewhat hijacked with talk of Doctor Who)

Hello,

My name's (usually) MsMoss and I've been a Doctor Who Geek for over twenty years now. I grew up with McCoy, stood by it through its years in the wilderness and now watch, proud but slightly bemused, as it is no longer shameful to admit you're a fan.

Anyone else with me? You love the new series but don't want the old to be forgotten?

Join me, stand up and be counted!

yes, why did he take her to NYC then - I must have amissed the start.

I think there was a scene cut that explained it was a 'one more detour' idea. I thought that was quite a weak excuse, to be honest, and it was a bit of a come-down after the big emotional end to Gridlock. I am such an OG analyst type

A special treat for all you Tennant-lovers...

Oh that's was squee-time and a half. I was so disappointed that the new series didn't do the face thing in the titles. Mind you, Eccleston's ears would have been quite amusing. But Tennant is magnificent. I wonder if he's ever seen that, bet he thought about it when he was a kid, lol.

there is a more 70s styleee one here

actually an odd sort of 70s/80s mash-up!

and to complete the set

Tennant 60s style

Some people must have an awful lot of time on their hands to make these things!

SueBaroo - they've done a CE one too

As I suspected - looks like the FA cup

That bugged me aout the trip to Ny too.

Thanks for the Youtubes, see you in an hour

We have just had a Dr Who themed birthday for a 6 year old who is currently watching "The day Rose Died" DVD.

My 18 month old can say Dalek which shows her influence!!!

Any recommendations for a DR Who birthday cake?

M & S do a chocolate Dalek one for £8.00 or so. Its very sweet but very nice!

We were going to get DD3 a Doctor Who birthday cake but there was only a Dalek one left - we didn't think she would recognise it but at 2 she recognises and says 'Dalek'!

dd2 had one from Tesco last year Dalek with a voice button.

Those themes took me back to being about 8 and watching Dr who [nostalgic face]

Oh no, not a voice button - DD got an Easter egg with one, she wanted to keep it, but unfortunately this meant packing it to take on the plane (we spent easter with my parents in Scotland)

feckin thing wouldnt stop saying "exterminate" even while going through the hand luggage xray!

Got my uncle a cyberman mug last year for Xmas and we kept hearing 'you will be upgraded ' and 'DELETE' coming from the loft

m nowwatching Survival on youtube

DS says Dalek too. And "silly monster come out of dalek"

Dd2 calls them Doglicks. Which is both less and more threatening, I think..

DD used to get Dalek and garlic mixed up. Hence we ate a lot of spag bol with added dalek!

We still have Dalek Bread in our house for the same reason!

Just fyi, the episode this week is the last for a fortnight - the week after is the Eurovision song contest. OG is having a meltdown thread as we speak. It's wonderful - lots of pissed off people and some people actually saying 'when I was a kid, you would have had it a lot worse....'

noooooooooooooooo they can't I need my DT fix!

ooh and I hear he's signed the 4th contract!

I shall be enjoying an entire evening with my lovely spanking new boxset of series two, so DT fix well taken care of. If you really need a DT fix, youtube is a veritable goldmine, and you get rude bits, too

ooh do you- links please links??

Anyone know the cheapest place to get series 2 boxed set?

(And if anyone knows anywhere selling LOM 2 cheap as well, Id like to know)
