October 1, 2016

google.com, pub-ca-pub-6067120031842370, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0 Doctor Who My favorite British television show, Doctor Who, is now fifty-three years old or will be on November 23rd of this year. I don’t think the people in BBC would have every believed that the show would make it that look. Consequently neither did the fans. I wasn’t even born when the program first airs, but because of it fandom and popularity it makes in the US. Now, where the people at BBC ever comes…

Daleks Creation On the basis of what I have read and seen I want to just say a few things about these popular enemies of the Doctor. Creation of the Daleks comes in 1963.(1) What I find fascinating about the whole the thing is that the producer Verity Lambert pulls the trigger really early. After seeing the first serial An Unearthly Child, the Doctor and his crew are transported to planet of the Daleks. I personally can see and think…

Conception As a fan of Doctor Who, the conception of the TARDIS is an interesting topic to discuss and even write about. What I will like to do is look at how the production team of the original serial chose to make the time machine/spaceship of the Doctor a TARDIS. Well, in the beginning of any television show there is brainstorming. As a result the production crew gets together and tries to decide how to give the Doctor a way…

Daleks Where do I start on the Daleks, the first enemy of the Doctor. Doctor Who fans probably love and remember this enemy the most. The Daleks are not very complicated nor pretty, but they are a very big part of Doctor Who. They also are the first evil race the Doctor faces as well as his first enemy. They of course return to the show many more times. Early on in Doctor Who the fans do get to see…

William Hartnell William Hartnell as the first doctor seems a little strange to me. Consequently, I go and read a write up about him to gain information. Being that I am not a showrunner or producer of a television show I can speak for the original producer of Doctor Who, Verity Lambert. The only comments I can make will be from my standpoint. Then to be honest with you, I do not know what kind of judge I am of…

Toning Down To a Doctor Who fan the multi-color of Colin Baker’s doctor, is the trademark of the Sixth Doctor. Then toning down might be something some fans will not appreciate. But there are those out there that may be wanting the coat to be a different color or even scheme. The first time I see the coat I think that it is okay and that it would be breathe of fresh air to the show. Well, because of what…
