Doctor Who Geeks (not so) Anonymous

[3rdTriMossTer]

(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!

Mossy - do you think it would be over the top to have a mural of daleks and cybermen painted on the wall in DS's bedroom???

I don't think so!

Too few monsters, actually, imo!!!

I only found it, I didn't do it! But yes, it's "Terry & June". There is another version with "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" over the credits, and yet another with "Happy days Are Here Again"! Bit harsh.

What I like of the DW stuff on YouTube is the trailers people have done for the old series in the style of the new Next Time bits - the one for "City of Death" is well worth checking out.

The Terrance Dicks books can still be picked up in charity shops and on eBay - I think they have long ago made way for the new series spin-offs (they don't do "novelisations") any more, although he has done one of the new ones . It's a QuickRead but I think it's the first Martha book.

Aw poor Adric. Bless his little cotton socks!

Well, I was thinking of lots of soft cloth books with mirrors and piccies of babies in them... but come to think of it, why don't I just start him young??

Ive been lurking on this for a while - had to say the youtube clip really cheered me up.

This is much more interesting than Jade Goody!

got my complete set of target novelisations ready to pass on to the kidlings....some even signed by cuddly uncle terrance!

Hello Fubsy - come and join the merry throng!

If you scroll down quite a way there's a questionnaire on who is your favourite Who and that kind of thing - go on, fill it in!

There's also a quiz further down but it's vvvvvv difficult, I only got a few right.

Ash when did you meet him?

Hi Fubsy

agree Dr Who is far more interesting than Jane Goody.

She's thick and he's thin.

She's thick and he's FIT!

Right, I'm going to go to the station and keep my fingers crossed that a train might take me home. I'm not getting a bus in "my condition"!

Good luck, hope you get home safely.

Sometimes don't you just feel like shouting "Beam me up, Scottie!!"

This dr who addiction sure adds up , trying to stop myself buying dvds, toys and now books too.

Oh Foxy if I could beam to my house from work that'd be just great!

I was very lucky to get a train home; loads of them had been cancelled! Took dh about four hours though for what's normally a twenty minute journey. I take it all back about wishing I could drive and how crappy public transport is!

Nikki it is an expensive, addictive business you're not kidding! But still, s'pose it's not going on beer money

Its been 8 years since I did 'beer money' or 5 since I did beer

OK, I failed miserably at the quiz, but heres my poll:

fave doc? david tennant/Jon Pertwee/Patrick Troughton (Im older than i look!)

fave story? Yeti/Green Death

fave companion? Rose

fave villain? the master

fave monster? Daleks

saddest piece of merchandise owned? too many Dr Who videos for a woman of my age!

fave supporting character? Capt Jack/Brigadier

3rdtri found bubble bath at ToysRUs, would you believe! Sorry, haven't checked back on this thread for a couple of days (real life keeps interrupting and when I finally got back on MN I forgot all about it. Sheesh.)

Doctor: Tom Baker
Story: either "City of Death" or "Talons of Weng-Chiang"
Companion: Sarah Jane Smith, although I am quite into Nyssa at the moment. Especially in her little dress from "Mawdryn undead"...
Villain: Davros
Monster: Daleks
saddest piece of merchandise owned? I had Tom Baker and Leela dolls... still in a box at my parents' house... and we took DD's David Tennant figure to meet them when we visited ...
Supporting character? I'll have to think about that one.

unquietdad - LOL at the thought of you taking your DT doll to meet the others!

Gosh Inferno's a bit dark isn't it!? Watching on UK Gold +1 of course I have to get up at six in the week so I like a lie-in of a weekend!

Sadly once again I'll miss about the last hour of it 'cos of my driving lesson. Right I'm going to have to make a birthday list. Although I'm not sure it'll be taken quite as seriously as my "things we have to have for the baby before he is born" list.

I wonder if I could slip a few Doctor Who DVDs onto the second list; do you think anyone'd notice?

Nikki it's been about six and a half months since I did beer I'm looking forward to a huge pint of Theakston's Old P in April!!

UQD and did they all get on?

hello...I just wondered if anyone could tell me when dr who is back on? we watched the christmas episode with catherine Tate in it and my kids are big fans...but I haven't seen one since...is it back on yet??

Thank you xx

Ludaloo - The official line is that Dr Who will return "in the Spring", but apparently it will be March/April.

Anyone else have inside info on it's return?

Yes, that's what we need. Bit of insider info.

Come on... there has to be someone on here who knows exactly when he's coming back....?

oohhhh nooo Its that long to wait! I was half hoping I had just missed the start

Well, here is some info on the next series... very interesting, but doesn't say when it starts!

Most likely to be Easter weekend for the new series.

Yes, they all got on and we staged a "Two Doctors" reunion photo!!

"Inferno" - 3rd, you will have missed the best bit! Do you want to know what happens at the end??

Have any of you seen the site called The Doctor Sings - Tom Baker's voice (from when BT had him as one of the voices you could have texts read out to you in), and music. Very funny.
