Pushkin BS: Happy birthday Dr Who! (24) RE: BS: Happy birthday Dr Who! 24 Nov 02


I have to be honest and say Tom Baker is my favourite Dr but then he's the one I grew up with.   My other half's favourite is Sylvester McCoy and he grew up with all of them because he's ancient.....   Tom Baker is also great company in the pub - he can't half drink!   He's completely insane!   Jon Pertwee was as much a gentleman in life as he was on the screen.   

Have any of you read the Virgin Dr Who books?   Absolutely superb (not for children), and portraying the Dr in a much darker light, particularly Sylvester McCoy's Dr.

I remember one of the big events of my childhood was John Pertwee bringing the Whomobile to my school.   

As to the baddies - I always thought the Daleks were scary but the Cybermen even scarier.    At least they could climb stairs which the Daleks didn't manage for a few years. However, Planet of the Spiders has given me a fear of spiders ever since.

Bring back Dr Who, the BBC seems to be ashamed of it for some reason.
