Doctor Who

This is part of one of those things I can't help but get obsessed with. It cannot be helped. Because it is The Doctor. If you don't know what the hell it is I'm blathering on about while I should be working on a History Project, I will tell you.

Time and Relative Dimension in Space

• Doctor Who is a British Cult TV Show that has been running since 1963.
• It is the longest-running sci-fi series.
• It is about The Doctor, an alien-dude who travels through (and accross, and in any direction imaginable) time in order to save the Earth from other weird aliens and races. 
• The Doctor travels in the Tardis, which looks like a 1960's London Police Box.
• There have been eleven incarnations of the Doctor, however it is still the same character.
• There have been a lot of companions, however the only ones I have seen are Dianna (in one episode) and Amy and Rory (in seven)
• It might be a good idea to tell you that I have only seen about eight episodes, but really there are about a million.
• There have been six series. I don't know what that means, so until I can find a Doctor Who wiki page thing, I'm screwed.



My mom thinks he looks like a perv. puh-leeze.

• The current Doctor, Matt Smith is really hot. Also he's the youngest person to have been cast for the role.
• Richard Nixon (not the real one!) has appeared on the show.
• So has Winston Churchill (again, not the real one!!)
• And Vincent Van Gogh has also dropped by (again, not the real one!!)
• Men in suits are hot. Men in suits with bow-ties are hot. Men that dress like Dan Radcliffe in How To Succeed Without Really Trying Matt Bommer in White Collar and Matt Smith in Doctor Who are hot. 
• The Doctor has a Sonic Screwdriver, which if you will, is the equivalent of Harry Potter's wand. There, that will probably be the only time I will ever feel compelled to compare HP and DW. I solemnly swear. Damn, I'm on a role. 

 I don't think this is a show I would have watched if it wasn't because my friend Elizabeth kept talking about the Doctor's awesomeness. Although she loves David Tennant (the Tenth Incarnation) and I frankly cannot, I must admit I am extremely excited about this whole new fandom. 

The only thing left to do here (besides my History Project, of course!!) is to somehow get my hands on EVERY DOCTOR WHO EVER MADE. Netflix might be a good idea, don't you think?  

And just a note of general interest: out of all the people I actually interact with on a (quasi)daily basis, FIVE are fans of the Doctor. My dad used to be. But the Star Wars and Star Trek came along.

The Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) played Bartemius Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
