But then, so is Russell T Davies, and I’m looking forward to his return to Doctor Who after the dross of the current writing team. And please, please, please can they get back to the original idea and (sorry don't want to offend anyone) let it be a male doctor. We've not watched it since Peter Capaldi but enjoy all the reruns 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept watching until Tom Baker took over the role from Jon Pertwee. After that I lost interest as I didn't like the 'Dr' that he portrayed.

I sometimes worry that I'm not worrying enough, but then again how much worry is enough?🤔 If I worry too much then I get worried because I might be over worrying, and that could be a worry, so I try not to worry about it. 🥴😁 Avril 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshirephil Posted January 22 #30308 Share Posted January 22 an old Irish saying about worrying. There are only two things in life to worry about: if you are well or if you are sick. If you are well, there is nothing to worry about. If you are sick, there are only two things to worry about: if you will get better or if you will die. If you get better, there is nothing to worry about. If you die, there are only two things to worry about: if you will go to Heaven or if you will go to Hell. If you go to Heaven there is nothing to worry about. If you go to Hell, you will be too busy catching up with old friends that you won’t have time to worry. So why worry? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril My first dr was Jon Pertwee - just a little younger than you 🙂 🙂 Loved the new Dr Who remakes though and loved Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant (ahhh), Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi (though he was let down by terrible writing and scripts for his amazing talent). Then we went to the next Dr and we haven't watched since. Have to say, we once visited Cardiff Dr Who exhibition and had the chance to visit the Tardis set --- met a REAL Weeping Angel and set foot IN the TARDIS. Happy days .... and yes, we are big kids at heart 🙂 🙂 We are Trekkies too ................ and have met William Shatner and Walter Koenig ----- Star Trek convention to celebrate the 50th anniversary BUT we didn't wear a costume !!!!!! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re wearing a costume from the Original Series ........... mmmmmm .... once upon a time perhaps, but I have inherited by dad's short, fat stumpy legs (not hairy as in Morecambe and Wise) so will stick to not wearing the 1960s uniforms for now ...... somethings are best left hidden !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobstheboy Posted January 23 #30318 Share Posted January 23 My eldest son was scared to death of Dr Who, when the music started he would hide behind the chair and say Dogger Who !!!! 4 attempts today, my average. Stay safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the overcomplex, ludicrous scripts and the gang of 4/5 whatever replacing the Dr Who plus companion format. I think she’s been shafted by the writers, and I’ll be pleased to see the return of Russell T Davies. Watched most episodes since that first one in 1963 - remember rushing home to watch it - and it’s gone through good and bad patches, but my wife’s keener on it now than I am. Richard Ayoade is also a possible. He’d be good. Quirky is good. I’d cast Matt Lucas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Matt Lucas, he would definitely be a quirky choice but, and I don't know why, I hate him presenting the Bake Off. Weather here today is just so grey again. However I have a very unexpected and puzzling visitor, my SIL. Suppose all will be revealed later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have moved on - they can levitate and fly now, thanks to CGI! Funniest I ever saw (side-splitting!) were Victor Lewis-Smith’s daleks on TV Offal. But I won’t link to that here because it’s absolutely inappropriate and unsuitable. 😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirephil Posted January 23 #30325 Share Posted January 23 A fair day here weather wise, had a nice walk before breakfast. To me Dr Who is what it is, I have always watched it and likely always will. A bit like Star Wars and Star Trek some are good some not so, plus we always watch the multitude of spin offs too. Whatever rings your bells. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
