Peter and I saw “Christmas Invasion” last night. I can see David Tennent as the Doctor. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to our kind benefactor, we also saw the short for “Children in Need” before we watched the episode which gave us some additional information. We are now waiting for March I believe and the beginning of the next set of episodes. I can wait. I have a lot to get done before March.<\/p>\n
Dr. Who is special for me. I found it through Starlog of all places. They were not showing it in Atlanta but I read the American version of the novels and hoped I would see it eventually. I believe it was a DixieTrek that I met Bill Ritch who had bunches of Dr. Who episodes on tape. He was showing them in his hotel room and there were quite a group of people there someone of which I am still friends with. My first Dr. Who episode was “Sunmakers”. Strange one to start with I know, but it hooked me in for the next one which was “Deadly Assasin”. Bill and I became friends and I watched my way through his Dr.Who collection. He was also the one to introduce me to “Blake’s 7” and “Sapphire & Steel” among other programs. Bill is still my friend. I tend to see him once a year at DragonCon but like Jeff & Angelo we fall back into our banter easily.<\/p>\n
I can’t tell you how many friends I have made through my passion for Dr. Who but the list is pretty long. I was an original member of the “Might Rassilon Art Players” and played the 7th Doctor in one of their infamous sketches before there was a 7th Doctor. I was totally punked out with a ripped t-shirt that said “Trust me I’m a Doctor”, leather pants and motorcycle jacket, green spiked hair and extreme punk make-up. I was a card carrying member of the Terminus Tardis which was the Atlanta branch of the Dr. Who Appreciation society. I was there when the PMEB was founded. Yes even with all the silliness in it, I did like Paul McGann as the Doctor. Dr.Who was really my first fandom that I embraced whole heartedly and said that yes I am a Whovian.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for everyone who has worked on Dr. Who.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
