I don’t need to tell you guys that I’m a big fan of Doctor Who. Besides, I refuse to get out of my blue TARDIS replica box (which isn’t bigger on the inside) until one of you realises that Doctor Who is way, way cooler than that damn Battlestar Galactica series. For years now, I’ve been given grief over my love for that 50-year old show, but recently, I finally gained a convert. Zoe got hooked on the series in an attempt to give me endless, informed grief and has recently been binge-watching season after season of Doctor Who. So of course, we had to start geeking out about it.
Doctor Who is currently in an eighth season now, with Peter Capaldi portraying the latest incarnation of the famed Time Lord. A role inherited from the likes of William Hartnell, Tom Baker, David Tennant and eleventh Doctor Matt Smith. And I’m absolutely digging this particular version of the time-traveller, who comes off as a combination of an unhinged Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It and an alien with a temper that could crack a planet in half.
I highly recommend jumping into Doctor Who if you have yet to watch the show. Hell, whether you start from the reintroduction of the 2005 series, dive headfirst into the cheese of the original seasons or want to start fresh with Matt Smith’s debut in season 5, it’s all good. And wibbly wobbly, timey wimey sort of. Now if you’ll pardon me, I need to learn how to stop pronouncing Doctor Who as if the Time Lord was Asian.

Someone that gives Darryn a hard on. And he really wants you to care about them. But in all honesty, I just cannot take a show seriously, dramatic, comedy or otherwise whose greatest enemy is a walking trash can with a fucking toilet plunger for an arm.

Why not put this up onto Soundcloud or other audio file sharing service instead of youtube which is a 97% video based medium?

Soundcloud doesn’t exactly offer us enough hits to justify the effort. Keeping it on YouTube also helps us track the results easier, while allowing for our YouTube page to grow.

Fair Enough. Guess I’ll just use a youtube to mp3 converter.

I started watching Doctor Who with the big ears Doctor. Kinda just came upon the show and liked it. Rose.
David was just ok.
Bow ties are cool.
New Doctor is alright so far. Started off with a dinosaur, so how can you not love that.
I like Doctor Who. Time periods and cool stories.
Neil Gaiman – The Doctor’s Wife. Cool stuff.
And on that note:

The Dutch has given us two very toxic things over the years. They have given us apartheid and the Dutch oven. Both very toxic.

Should probably try it some time, probably with 2005 series.
But once you watch all Stargate series nothing can compare in regards to brilliant Sci-fi series.

By the way anyone watching The Musketeers on BBC channel? Capaldi plays The Cardinal. Actually enjoyed season 1 more than I was expecting. And Capaldi is brilliant in that.
And I defy anyone to not look at the King of France and see Mike “Do I make you horny baby” Myers.

Doctor Who is awesome! But this
” until one of you realises that Doctor Who is way, way cooler than that damn Battlestar Galactica series.”
is blashemy.
Next you’re going to tell me that Doctor Who is better than Firefly too.
