Mornin', y'all!:frow

Doctor Who was created in the 60's as part entertainment, part education. The earliest season sometimes had the Doctor traveling back in time to certain historical events, but the history episodes were apparently a bit too dry, so they got dropped. It was very low-budget in those days, and a lot of the tapes of the show got recycled or otherwise lost. The show ran pretty much continuously into the 80's. In 2005, it was revived, and before long spawned several spin-offs.

Each actor who plays the Doctor puts their own interpretation on his character, and every fan has their favorites. The fans have adopted a certain form of shorthand when they refer to them; rather than use the actor's name, they often number them (Tom Baker is 4, David Tennant is 10, etc.).

To celebrate the show's 50th anniversary, google created a "doodle" that is a game; the player takes the Doctor through various levels featuring some of the iconic bad guys from the show. All of the (then 11) versions of the Doctor are represented, and when a player "dies," they re-spawn as the next incarnation of the Doctor.

There is now a Doctor Who museum. The BBC has an archive of most of the show, but as I said, some of the earliest episodes have been lost. Anyone who can provide them with a videotape or movie of one of the lost episodes can receive a full-scale model of a Dalek (the one the cat is chewing on is about 1/3 scale).

You can catch it on BBC . It's funny with the regeneration stuff. I mean a very young looking doctor can regenerate into an old man- weird.

Hey I did that - regenerate from a very young good looking dude into a weird old man. :old

Double full moon dance this month. Last night was beautiful, and I just couldn't resist.

Good morning, Café, and thanks for the coffee, Debby. :caf
