September 11, 2018

google.com, pub-ca-pub-6067120031842370, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0 Affirmative Master Affirmative Of all the news we have seen and heard, I can say the news of the return of K-9 excite me the most. According to this article, K-9 is returning as a stand-alone hero. If everyone remembers, the BBC tried in the 1980s to have a series with K-9 and Sarah Jane. The name of that one was K-9 and Company, but it failed. I have not seen the pilot or any of the…

Signed As a fan, I find what Colin Baker did cool and sweet. According to this article by the Radio Times Staff, Baker signed a photoshopped photograph of him and Osgood. How great is it for a former Doctor to sign a picture, and tell you he wishes you were his companion? On the other hand, how does it make Nicola Bryant and Bonnie Langford feel, Peri and Mel respectively? Okay, we all can see this great, but what does it…

Inspirational The men producing Doctor Who in 1963 may not ever of seen it becoming the global phenomena it has become. At the same time, the idea the Doctor would become a female was even further from their minds. In this article by Jacquline Rayner from Radio Times, she writes about the inspirational female companions the Doctor traveled over the tenure of the show. Honestly, I am not very familiar with some of the companions in the article, but I can…

Rose Tyler: Through the first Three Stories

Rose Tyler I guess to state the obvious here is to say Rose Tyler was the Doctor’s first companion after a long hiatus. I want to watch the rest of season one and every other story she as the Doctor’s companion. What I remember the most about Rose is her being lovesick over the Doctor. What I found in the first three stories from Rose was a willingness to work with the Doctor. There weren’t any romantic overtones as far…

Fascination Fans who watch Doctor Who can see that some of his companions fall in love with him. Their fascination with the Doctor does at times get to be too much. But it does not happen as often as fans think but it does take place from time to time. Sarah Jane As far as what one would call romantic interest, Sarah Jane is the first to come to mind. You cannot say that it was too much on her…

Breath As the Impossible girl, Jenna Coleman was the good for Doctor Who. But as time goes by things change and things go from good to stale. Fans did enjoy watching Clara in the beginning. But the stories changed from being Doctor centered to Clara centered. This change bothers this fan and maybe many more. And there is a need for a breath of fresh air. Well, fans find out that Jenna Coleman was leaving Doctor Who. As a result,…

Sarah Jane Smith If there is one companion of the classic series I remember the most it is Sarah Jane Smith. She is played by Elisabeth Sladen, and becomes the companion of the Third Doctor Jon Pertwee about a year before he decides to leave the role. She to me does a beautiful job as the Doctor’s companion. We first see her in the story “The Time Warrior” in 1973(1) and she will continue with the Doctor for three seasons.…
