BBC America is running a lot of episodes of Dr. Who and all the specials they have done about Dr. Who leading up to 2:50 on Saturday where we will be watching the 50th anniversary special. It is interesting seeing this much Doctor all at once. They are up to the Donna Noble episodes so I missed all of Martha Jones except when she shows up later. Soon we are getting to Silence in the Library which will be interesting since I haven’t seen it in a couple of years and it turned into such a pivotal episode.
I also didn’t see School Reunion which is hands down my favorite episode of that season. It was so nice to see Sarah Jane again and give the character some closure. I am sure if Liz Sladen were still with us, she would be in Sunday’s episode.
Did you know that K-9 was suppose to be a one off and then they added them to the series which gave the props department a whole new set of headaches since they build it to move on studio floors which are smooth?
Also a warning that there are some things being sold on E-bay as authentic Dr. Who props which are actually things that were created (recreated) for the Doctor Who exhibit. I actually have gotten to play with a couple of props from the show over the years.
I have one of the early TARDIS keys sold to fans.
When creating Caroline’s costume for the Whoville sketch, I knitted the scarf for her based on the knitting pattern of one of the real scarves. I had to reduce the number of rows so it would fit Caroline and not engulf her. It is accurate to the scarf which was not easy to do.
I have a complete set of the Target books and almost all of the Virgin novels with the exception of the first three which Peter has. I also have all the Decalogs. After that I am spotty at best since it was a lot of books and I was not flush with cash.
I have a short story in Qualities of Leadership published by Big Finish. Had a lot of fun with that story. It was entitled “On a Pedestal” and was the 2nd Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria along with William Wallace.
I wrote Doctor Who fanfic for the PMEB which has vanished off the Internet. Writing fanfic and getting feed back was a great learning process that has helped my professional writing.
I am grateful for all the people I have met through Doctor Who fandom.
