Welcome to the TARDIS!

Name: Anna
Doctor Who Fan since the early 1980s!

Yes, I've been a fan of the Doctor for that long! Somewhere I still have my Official Doctor Who Fan Club membership card. This site is my way of showing my appreciation for the longest running science fiction television series ever! This will be my place to put up trivial bits, opinions, and the occasional piece of artwork relating to the world of the Doctor.

So... enjoy...

Celebrating today

November 23, 1963. Doctor Who airs for the first time.

Yeah... 45 years have passed since that day and look at where we are now.

Following is a bit of a teaser for the Christmas special coming up.

Now, I must admit that I am seriously intrigued by the other guy calling himself the Doctor. Some have said that he's a bit on the arrogant side. I won't entirely disagree with that. It's hard telling in just the short time he's in this little clip. Yes, he's got a certain bit of arrogance and ego to him, but so do many of his other incarnations -- Colin Baker in particular was rather arrogant as the Doctor.

However, I don't see this arrogance as being entirely bad. To my brother and to me, he comes across as the archetypal Victorian era adventurer. Some examples: Professor Challenger from The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle; Professor Lidenbrock from Journey to the Center of the Earth and Professor Pierre Aronnax from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne; even Captain Nemo from the latter mentioned Verne book. These characters are all larger than life, a bit on the gung ho side and quite enthusiastic about their ideals. Yes, they can be considered arrogant, but that's what makes the character appealing.

I probably wouldn't have been so enthralled by the wondrous world of Doctor Who[/I} if there hadn't been a bit of that enthusiastic explorer in his character.
