As you can probably guess, Doctor Who means a fair bit to
me. The first story that I saw was ‘Day of the Daleks’, which was lent to me by
my uncle on VHS when I was five or six, and from then on I just carried on loving
the series.
When the series was restarted in 2005 I watched that and
enjoyed it (although ‘Fear Her’ not so much for obvious reasons). Although my favourite
era is the Patrick Troughton years, the newer seasons of Doctor Who have proved
that a classic series can be reinterpreted and the shows popularity can be seen
to still be considerable even after forty nine years.
Doctor Who has brought me into contact with people I would
never have otherwise met, particularly on the internet through websites like
Twitter. Ok, some are slightly insane and still want Amy and Rory back, but on
the whole Doctor Who has had a positive effect on my life and worked as a route
to finding other science fiction television shows such as ‘Blake’s 7’.
Doctor Who has been a constant in my life for years now, and
hopefully it will continue to be for years to come. Happy Forty Ninth Birthday
to Doctor Who, and lets hope that it’ll be around for another forty nine.
