    I'm old enough to have seen the very first episode of Doctor Who, so I have an admiration for William Hartnell, who played the part as 'world weary' grandparent and exiled Time Lord sentenced to wander about in time and space (though for reasons not explained at the time). His companion was his granddaughter who was abandoned on Earth by the Doctor for her own good, and started the institution of subsequent Doctors picking up waifs and strays (curiously all from planet Earth) to join him in his adventures.

    I liked Patrick Troughton who played the part as a sort of cosmic 'hobo'; and whilst I never found the Daleks that scary, I did find the Cybermen creepy.

    As mentioned above I never thought much of John Pertwee's tenure as the Doctor and largely stopped watching the series. As such, I saw very little of Tom Baker's stint and none by any of the other subsequent incarnations.


    I became hooked again with Russell T Davies's revamped Doctor Who (with much, much better production values) and liked all the Doctors, though I lost interest half way through Matt Smith's tenure as the plots and back stories were becoming increasingly complicated and to my mind unbelievable, only to return with Peter Capaldi's incarnation.

    But maybe I'm taking it all too seriously - it's a children's programme after all.
    Almost all of that is exactly how it was for me, apart from the Tom Baker bit, who for me was the best by a country mile. I did return to it when capaldi came on board, but it was more for Jenna Coleman who is very pretty. Not sexy, just pretty. Sexy for me was one called (I think) Peri, whom I was unaware of till someone posted a clip of her in a bikini. God I'm such a perv!

    Pretty (or cute) can also be sexy, depending on what turns you on, as it were. Cute and girly, petite 'next door' types, with a touch of 'princess syndrome'/attitude/vulnerability/naughtiness, have always been my thing, and so a lot of what is stereotypically considered as 'sexy' by some guys, totally isn't for me!

    One thing I DETEST though, are 'butch' women or tomboys.... UGH! Just, no. Ultimately, girls who ooze femininity is what does it for me, and in that respect, many women of Chinese/Malay or Japanese distraction ably embrace that trait, for example, Rachel Khoo:



    Cute or what? And she can cook!

    Dr Who? I'm with Macca on Pertwee (for reasons he's stated. Who remembers The Autons - scary shop mannequins with guns in their fingers - well fukkin' freaky and the stuff of genuine nightmares), but my fav was Tom Baker.

    For me, that was the golden era, as it was smack in the zone when I was old enough to appreciate/follow stories properly, and also they were, IMO, the darkest/scariest, which is what I was always into. Plus, the Dalek episodes with Baker (with Davros, etc) were also the best!

    Robots of Death, The Arc in Space and The Brain of Morbius, were the high points for me, for Dr Who - and all Baker.

    I no longer watch the series now, as for me it's totally lost its way (gone too Harry Potter-esque, and all 'style over substance', with an over-reliance on entertainment provided by special effects) and what made it unique in the first place. Female Doctors and 'love interests/romances'? FUCK RIGHT OFF!

    Also, what made the early stuff special. and created the eerie atmosphere synonymous with the best of Dr Who, was the sounds effects provided by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and the superb work of Delia Derbyshire.

    Hmm. I think my signature covers that .
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
