puppetmaker: (Adipose Doctor Who)

Happy Birthday RTD

You brought back Doctor Who when I thought I would never see a new episode again.

You gave us John Barrowman in very tight pants and a lot of other folks who look good in tight pants on Torchwood.

You brought back Sarah Jane and created a show I can show to my 5 year old without worry.

You brought my favorite fandom to a whole new generation and created a bunch of new fans.

You so rock.

I am grateful that Russell T Davies was born so I can have more Doctor Who to watch.

What I like most is seeing the youngest fans back in the mix: kids getting excited and drawing pictures to send to the BBC, kids asking their parents to let them get on the phone to me and Michael to thank us for their DW toys, kids being bowled over at Halloween becuase we gave out Daleks as well as candy.

Thank you, Russell T. Davies, and happy birthday.

It is nice to see the kids as excited as the adults.

You gave out Daleks? I'm coming to your house next year.

Heh.

I don't know that we can afford to do it every year. It was a combination of having being massively overshipped when we hadn't ordered this particular set of toys [we were also overstocked on the Moxx and the Werewolf], and not having enough time to pull our usual assortment of comics, that led to the Great Dalek/Moxx/Werewolf Giveaway.

It was certainly fun, though, and kept our reputation of being the coolest folks in the neighborhood intact.

We have that with our comic book give away. *grin*
