The Third Doctor

Posted by Andy in Misc   

Tom Baker for me, has been The Doctor. His hippy style of being a space wanderer has always appealed to me as well as love for long pieces of knitwear.

I've started to re-read some of my BBC Dr who books and started with The Devil Goblins from Neptune. It was a cracking read and further stories build upon this. I've enjoyed seeing where the 4th doctor comes from; the anger and frustration of being effectively time-locked in the 70s combined with short sighted people he is forced to work with. I wouldn't want to be stuck in that timezone and I'm only 40 years in the future :) Most of the classic Who baddies also come in this golden (or should that be silver?) age of who including the original master who is head and shoulders above all other regenerations.

I also think that is is an interesting idea of slightly changing the who format to freshen it a little. I can see mirrors with the currently filmed new Doctor. They've started to tweak the format with a mild overarching motive for all the adventures. I can only hope that this lives up to expectations.
