I saw the very first
Doctor Who (1963)!
William Hartnell and
Patrick Troughton were my Doctors... I sort of lapsed a bit, but I saw all of the different Doctors at some point. I was a great fan of the show. I'm not a great lover of sci-fi, but this was the first of its kind on TV. It was an imaginative fantasy that was rather appealing - this old Doctor, a Time Lord in a telephone box whizzing backwards and forwards in space and time. It had good stories, it was intriguing, it was very different. When it first started it was one of those programmes 'It's
Doctor Who (1963), you've got to watch that'. I rather liked
Tom Baker - he gave it a certain manic quality. I've watched a couple of the new series, he's [
David Tennant] ever so good. I knew he would be. He's just a very good actor and he's got a good line in charm which I think helps with the Doctor.
