Matt Smith had many things similar to Peter Davison when he took over the role of the Doctor.  He was taking over from a Doctor that was perceived as the best ever (Tom Baker in classic era, and David Tennant in modern).  Matt Smith was also the youngest actor to be cast as the Doctor […]

In its second season, the revived Doctor Who has its second Doctor in David John McDonald, more popularly known as David Tennant.  He took over for Christopher Eccleston who stayed just one (brilliant) series. David was the first Doctor Who lead actor who was fan of the programme when he was a child.  He apparently […]

… The Wilderness Years are over!   We finally had Doctor Who again as a proper television show in 2005.  Amusing to think that event is now 18 years old, and the announcement that it was coming back turns 20 years old this year (26 Sep 2003). As many fans of the old show felt […]

I initially skipped writing about Paul McGann, but then decided I really should say something.  The reason I skipped it is McGann’s entire output is one TV movie and a single 7 minute internet short.  That’s it.  I was going to skip that given there isn’t a ton to write about, but then as I […]

I said the eras would start dropping quickly, and I was right.  I started McCoy’s era on 20 Apr, and on 31 of May, McCoy’s era ended.  That we got three series at all out of the show in the late 80’s is something of a miracle itself.  Only this time it took all of […]

Well, that was fast.  It’s 19 Apr, and on 20 Mar I had just started the sixth Doctor’s run, and here we are at the end.  Colin Baker, the shortest run (ignoring Paul McGann) of the classic series Doctors is over.  It started with such promise for me, and ended.. well.  poorly is a kind […]

Sun 19 Mar 2023 brings yet another milestone in my Doctor Who Marathon.  I reached the end of Peter Davison’s era with Episode 4 of “The Caves of Androzani”.  What a way to bow out.  Androzani is epic, and a spectacular end to Davison’s era.  But I’m not here to talk about Androzani, I have […]

I recently passed another milestone in my Doctor Who Marathon, and I felt like dropping a short update. This past Monday, I got to the 20th anniversary special, “The Five Doctors”. That was the end of the 20th season and it aired on 23 Nov 1983 (in the US). The was the first Doctor Who […]

Well, on 9 Jan 2023, I reached another milestone in my Doctor Who Marathon.  I completed the Fourth Doctor’s run with episode 4 of “Logopolis”.  In some ways getting through all the Tom Baker episodes themselves felt like a marathon.  There were just so many of them.  Most of Tom’s era talks about what he […]

I used to attend conventions in the Philadelphia area quite frequently in the 1980s. Back then, it would take upwards of two years to get new episodes on local television, so for many fans, some of these conventions were a popular attraction – not just for the same reason cons are popular now, but because there […]
