doyleThe Peter Cushing movies - Doctor Who and the Daleks and Daleks Invasion of Earth 2150AD - are the best things in the history of the universe. Ever. Ever! His character is actually called Doctor Who. (It's hard to explain why this revelation necessitated me pausing the DVD because I was laughing too much to follow the dialogue). And he exists in a brilliant, cracktastic fanfic AU where the Doctor is a mad human inventor living with his two granddaughters, Susan (8-year-old uber genius) and Barbara (dating Ian Chesterton, who's there only to make pratfalls and break things) and his niece Louise, who like Barbara is made of boobies. They encounter Daleks, all in glorious technicolour. And they save the day with magnets. And one of them stars Bernard Cribbins who was in all the Carry On movies. And at one point a Dalek's cunning plan is to get Susan to write their enemies a nice note to lure them in - "ADD AT THE BOT-TOM: WE ON-LY WANT TO BE FRIENDS".
Between that and the Fifth Doctor book I'm reading where he seems to spend a lot of time angsting over whether his feelings for his new 19-year-old companion Peri are entirely platonic, I'm a happy bee today.

on 2005-06-23 03:30 pm (UTC)Oh god. Seriously? Because while I can't articulate it I totally understand the compulsion, following that revelation, to find and watch those movies as soon as humanly possible. *hysterics*

Hee! Barbara is made of boobs!
I rather liked Peri, even though her American is... not, really. Wait until you hit The Twin Dilemma and hear her say, "It's the diminutive of my proper name, Perpugilliam." I'm not even sure I'd know where to start picking that apart for "Language written by Brits who've never met an American and spoken by an actress whose only claim to the title is that she was married to one at the time."

on 2005-06-23 07:58 pm (UTC)I ran across an old Whovian the other day who was trying to convince the world that the new series and the Paul McGann film belonged to the same AU as the Peter Cushing ones (with the old series being the One True Doctor, natch). To which I say, ppphhhpttt.
It's really weird to come into a fandom so near the tail. The old fans must feel like the Lord of the Rings fandom did after the film :-D
