Guess what! I bought a Panama Hat! A real Panama Hat too. The same style as the Seventh Doctor’s (not the easiest to find, its much easier to find a Panama like the Fifth’s it seems). It will be perfect for my cosplay… I just need to find something to use as the paisley hat band. But for now I guess I have to save up money for that question mark…[Read more]

@andrewwhite92 – I think doing the interview across private messages on this site would be the best way to go about it. I don’t mind doing a survey through that method either.

And about this site… yes it is rather awesome! I’m on two Doctor Who forums… this one and Gallifrey Base (which is a really big forum). Here is a lot more relaxed, both…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – When I first saw the scene I was like “what the heck is the Doctor doing…!?”, but in a way it really shows how ‘alien’ he is at first with how he acts. Oh and Ian and Barbara are awesome companions! In fact Ian is my favourite companion from Doctor Who. He and the Doctor later on make a great (but rather funny) team in a number of…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – Ah yes, the infamous rock scene. Just you wait till the next (rather short) serial after the Daleks. He acts very untrusting of Ian and Barbara. Its only after that does this TARDIS team start to work together properly (unfortunately the fourth serial is missing completely!). But you gradually start to notice him changing and becoming…[Read more]

@purofilion – Very interesting post! Ah yes, I have encountered some people who seem to dislike the Seventh and his serials quite a bit on another forum. Same goes for the Sixth as well. There are a few reasons as to why, but some seem quite vicious about it which makes me angry. I’m fine with the fact if its just not their cup of tea, everyone is…[Read more]

@Arbutus – Oh I do love the portrayal of the Seventh Doctor in the movie as well, I just can’t handle watching the scenes leading to his regeneration very well… even thinking about it makes me sad. Because certain Doctors can become very important to you, its just awful watching regeneration scenes sometimes. I adore the Seventh Doctor. I…[Read more]

Ahaha… I should probably check out what everyone was chatting about with ‘Ghost Light’… it is very confusing. But I think I understand it somewhat nowadays. There’s still a few things in the serial that confuses me though.

@FaeGrl – Oh the first Dalek serial is my favourite Dalek serial! No other episode after it has managed to catch the atmosphere of the planet Skaro (and I have a lot of opinions on Skaro, in fact I don’t consider its appearance in ‘Asylum of the Daleks’ canon… but I can only explain about that if you don’t mind spoilers for the Seventh Doctor).…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – Yes I tend to accidentally change the subject sometimes, but I’ve been called a ‘Topic Dalek’ on here before as I tend to notice when they go off course and try to do something about it! lol

Quite a few shows got junked back then unfortunately. Some amazing episodes are missing, of course there are ‘partly missing’ serials as well,…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – I think this is a better place to continue the conversation as that thread is about the next Doctor. lol!

Anyhow, in reply to your queries… yes… a number of First and Second Doctor episodes are missing (Hartnell and Troughton). Its due to the mass junkings of episodes in the 60s/70s. HOWEVER, its not all bad news… sometimes…[Read more]

Because I’m in ‘fangirl’ mode for the Seventh Doctor at the moment, I want to talk a bit about him again (also I have been talking about this a bit in another thread but thought it would be better here)… though this is actually more of just a theory.

Now… the Seventh Doctor started off rather clownish and silly in his first season; but soon…[Read more]

Watched ‘Time and the Rani’ recently, I know its an episode not many folks like… but I liked it! Well the fact I’m completely in love with the Seventh Doctor might account for something on why I liked it so much… but in general I thought it was a good serial. Not sure if I understand why some folks dislike it so much.

@wolfweed – Cute card, BTW. lol!

@the-names-jack-jack-harkness – Oh its not boring, but it is differently paced depending on what decade you’re watching. The serials are vastly different from the 60s, to the 70s to the 80s. It really depends on what kind of television you prefer. Obviously the 60s episodes are slower paced, but have some brilliant and imaginative storyline and…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – The fact that there’s so many Doctors means there’s really a Doctor for everyone, you’re going to at least like one of them! lol

I did think that Capaldi’s Doctor’s outfit needs something… maybe a cravat… I dunno. The outfit is good its just missing something. The Second Doctor also wore a bowtie (as did the Third for a while). But…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – No problem! I hope you enjoy the serials, the First Doctor really is amazing. Just it takes a while before he trusts Ian and Barbara and vice versa.

Oh I’m really quite in love the Seventh Doctor. lol! In McCoy’s first season he is much more clownish with just a hint of his darker persona, so I’m not sure if you would have watched a…[Read more]

@FaeGrl @ConfusedPolarity @Arbutus Basically just tagging everyone in this conversation!

About the dark side of the Doctor… personally I think no other Doctor has ever been as dark and manipulative as the Seventh. Now don’t go just thinking about his first season, I’m not talking about those serials. He later, in season 25 and 26, becomes an…[Read more]

@FaeGrl – You need to watch some Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee serials! lol. All three are brilliant Doctors, and there are some great stories. I am a big fan of the 60s black and white serials (hence username!) and the First Doctor is my favourite.

I’m rather happy with Capaldi’s Doctor’s style, I like the fact its more reminiscent of the old series.

@FatManInABox –  I just noticed it on twitter… I would so love to go to that… but I don’t think anyone else would want to go (well my sister, but she’s not good with travelling usually). 🙁 Also it would mean a pretty early start for me to get there and I’m not great with early starts. lol!

@il1511 – Glad to be of assistance!  If you have any other questions about Doctor Who, feel free to ask; folks here are very helpful. And yep, its a rather awesome series!
