Dismantled I am saddened by the fact that Peter Capaldi leaves the role of the Doctor. Now, I read this article by Radio Times and it gets even worse. I do realize there is a need to update the show and bring new blood into Doctor Who. But as always I really hate to see change. What we find here is that Capaldi’s TARDIS is dismantled. I say this now and will always feel this way. It seems just I get…

New TARDIS Revealed TarDIS The new TARDIS revealed and to me it is not what I am looking for in the reveal. This is something which is done when a new Doctor starts. A new TARDIS does nit come with every Doctor, but they do change the TARDIS from time to time. According to this article, the biggest change is that the St John’s Ambulance Logo is no longer there. This I don’t think is a big change. What I…

13th Doctor’s Sonic As a whovian, I see the sonic screwdriver as a necessary part of the Doctor. So, my question goes to the 13th Doctor’s sonic screwdriver. The original sonic comes during the Second Doctor’s reign and each Doctor after him except one has a sonic. The only which did not is the Fifth Doctor. I am assuming the FIfth did not use it because his role seems the closest to being human. As we go through the history…

The TARDIS First of all, the first time I see this Blue Police Box is when I am like nine or ten years. At this age, my knowledge of the spaceship is limited. All I do is watch Doctor WHo and just wish I have a spaceship like that. I mean a nine year can wish right. For me to be able to travel anywhere in time and space. How awesome will that be. I didn’t care if my parents…

The TARDIS is not What it Appears on the Outside – The Exterior

If you look at the picture above, the exterior of the TARDIS shows several different looks. The thing to remember though is that the TARDIS is not exactly a Police Box. As a Doctor Who fan, most of us really only know one shape and that is the Blue Police box. After watching “The Name of the Doctor”, we find that the Type 40 appears as a silver-grey cylinder.(1) Of course, this is something most fans really do not know and…

K9 and Company Yesterday is a day that some Doctor Who fans may remember. On that day 35 years ago, the first spinoff of Doctor Who, K9 and company airs. This of course began a journey with the show we see today. Since K9 and Company aired there have been other spinoffs of Doctor Who. My personal view of the show is very limited. I can say this because I actually never saw the pilot. From my understanding, the show…

Doctor’s TARDIS The first time I see the Doctor’s TARDIS as a child, all I see is a blue box. I did not know until later that it is a Blue Police Call Box. Hey, I was only 9 years old and I really did not care what model it is. After watching the program for several years, I remember the Doctor saying that he had a Type 40 TARDIS. I also seem to remember him saying that it is…

General Characteristics Being a fan of Doctor Who, one should know the general characteristics of the shows most recognizable element. The TARDIS is the calling card for the show. The idea to use a blue police call box for the mode of transportation for the Doctor is great. It really fits into the show because of the fact the Doctor does not want people to know what it really is. So, for this to be a reality the creators have…

Sonic Screwdriver To me the Sonic Screwdriver is an extremely cool tool. How the people at the BBC or better the producers of Doctor Who devise it, I can’t say. The first time I remember seeing it was during the time of the Fourth Doctor. He seemed to have many different usages for it. He uses it to open door, unlock locks, and many other things that I can’t think of at this moment. Now, I hope everyone knows and…
