doyleI have in my greedy paws three shiny Doctor Who DVDs.
...I think it's safe to say at this point that I definitely have a new fandom, isn't it? (Not that my heart doesn't still belong first and foremost to the Buffyverse.) Coming into a fandom with, what, about 160 stories - not episodes, full arcs - and a bazillion books and short stories is a wee bit intimidating, though I am remembering that I caught up on six seasons of Buffy and three of Angel in two months.
I got Spearhead from Space (because it has the Autons and UNIT), Ghost Light (because I haven't seen any 7th Doctor yet and I like the cover - lo, I am predictable in my shallowness), and The Three Doctors (it has a Blue Peter featurette and I'm hoping to find out how to make a Tardis cake for my Dalek cakes to exterminate).
For some reason, even though the First Doctor's my least favourite of them so far, those are the episodes I really want to see more of; I think it's because I love seeing the stuff that was done back in the 60s, presumably on a micro-budget. I love the naffness, but there are bits that make me go 'oooh' - there's a particular shot in Dalek Invasion of Earth that I need to screencap because it's gorgeous. I've read a synopsis of one where they're on a planet of giants and I'm dying to see how that was done.
Also, Ian and Barbara were shagging like weasels in the back of the Tardis.
ETA: Jack Davenport talks about PoTC2 *Norrington squee*

on 2005-04-20 10:37 pm (UTC)My brother came to visit the other day and we had a full on geekathon. Trying to figure out the sex thing mainly.
Ok. So we know that the doctor has a granddaughter which would lead us to believe he has had sex. Then he makes a big play of not doing the sex and being all asexual. But then he is half human. Perhaps it varies from generation to regeneration.
It's killing me. Does the Doctor shag? That's all I want to know.
Actually, that's a lie. I want to know how and who with too. ;o)
