I saw the very first screening of the very first episode of Doctor Who as a very young child and have never forgotten it. Growing up in the 60s & 70s my friends and I witnessed every regeneration for the first time, followed by constant repeats which were standard after-school fodder for many years. Surprisingly, with each regeneration The Doctor was different!! And as the years progressed the series did too!! I don't need to attend sci-fi seminars to learn how to appreciate a television show, Doctor Who is a lifelong icon and watching it has always made me feel good. Watching the newest series makes me feel good too. It's different to when I was 3, but then so am I.

Well, what can I say? If you've seen this show you'll certainly know all about it, and if you haven't you ain't likely to now and will never know what you've missed. I don't know whether to be sorry or glad.................... Those in the know will also treasure hallowed memories of the original "The Flowerpot Men". After that, everything went wrong - television turned colour and abominations such as "The Magic Roundabout" and "Kimba the White Lion" infiltrated our screens. Let's face it, that was the beginning of the end for quality television. Anyone who wasn't brought up on shows of this calibre just hasn't lived.
