Dr Who is one of those shows that prove the lead character is bigger than the mere mortals that play them.
While James Bond and Batman cater to the easily pleased, we'll take explosions over plot and character development anyday Dr Who has made a come back and captured a new generation without the aid of Hollywood formulas, and the most incredible thing is that its made by the Welsh.
Peter Cushing first played the doctor in the 1965 film Dr Who and the Daleks, followed by a similar looking William Hartnell to play him on the small screen.
The much older Doctor was always traveling with a group of impressionable young people, back then the only pedos were uncles and priests, doctors and teachers didn't jump onto the trendy pedo wagon until much later.
The time traveling police box was named the Tardis which is latin for a bunch of tards in a time traveling box, who the fuck speaks latin anymore anyway? well except for those folks in Latin America.
The reason why the doctor travels in an out of date police box is because the cloaking device that changes the appearance of the Tardis broke in 20th century England, lucky it wasn't 25th century Italy or it would of been a giant golden penis, but really the makers of the show didn't have enough cardboard or imagination to make extra external looks for the tardis, the show was famous for its men in silver space suits and wobbly walls, wheelie bins with plungers stuck to them shouting ,"exterminate!" to be honest aren't very scary, yeah everyone stand in one place and let them shoot us, the way to beat the Daleks at first was just to go up some steps, but soon they cleverly adapted, while Nasa fooled about with caterpillar tracks the Daleks learned to hover, but now Davros the Greek leader of the Daleks has changed his name to Philip and is now a blogger, though due to a fear of time traveling old men with bad grammar and a penchant for young friends he doesn't read me.
I really don't like it when TV shows swap actors with a new one, it worked well on Bewitched with Darren but that was because of DNA splicing and gene therapy.
Scott Robinson from the Australian soap Neighbours went off somewhere and came back a different person, his family didn't even *twig* to it, I'm shouting at the TV "that's not Scott you fools, what kind of fairy glamour does he have you under?"
Dr Who covered this to my satisfaction by regenerating the old actor that's had enough for the new actor, same person different body, they always give him a quirk of some kind to show hes different, a flute, old car or a scarf and also the now famous jelly babies, a mix up in the mythology of a planet the doctor visited once had him as a god that ate real babies, now what is it with jelly babies that you get some sick satisfaction from biting the heads off them first? moving on, the doctor was always kinda dodgy looking even when they made him younger. British TV doesn't go for the young hot muscular hero, it goes for the old smarter type that some how becomes a sex symbol without even trying, grannies would throw their piss stained belly warmer panties at Inspector Morse and they'd roll up their saggy diddies so he could sign them .
The last Doctor in the series was a crappy wee Scotsman named Sylvester McCoy, his Doctor gimmick was a severe lack of acting ability and an ugly tomboy of an assistant called Ace. When a Doctor Who movie was made in 1996 it gave me great satisfaction to see McCoy gunned down in the first few minutes, the doctor came back to life as Paul McGann a fine and popular actor from a family of acting brothers, like the Baldwins but with talent, he became the 8th doctor but due to low rating in the U.S. the series was not brought back to life until 2005.
"Welcome to Uranus Doctor, lube is for the weak".
The doctor then became that big eared Northern twat, no offense to any Northern twats that have actually learned to read and are working their way through this post, don't worry it will be over soon , that big eared Northern twat Christopher Eccleston was that guy who was eaten by zombies in the Sandra Bullock movie 28 days, I was happy to see him go, we don't want to encourage that sort, the latest Doctor is well, kind of blah, whats his gimmick no chin? speaking of goofy looking fuckers that Billie Piper has the face for radio alright, I was surprised to see that she can act but really who wants to see it? famous for her underage drinking and who she was shagging rather than her pop music career and of course her 3 year marriage to that ginger git from Yahoo, no wait it was to Chris Evans, she recently said that during her marriage she was drunk quite a bit and didn't shower for up to a week at a time, big deal, instead of water the French use talc to hide the smell and use horse blood to redden their cheeks, a dirty people the French. I was in a Russian Gulag for 4 years don't talk to me about not washing.
I think the Doctor should get Kinga from Big Brother as his assistant, what intergalactic problem can't be solved by sticking a bottle up your minge?
How scary are the Cybermen? the modern day Cyberman is too busy downloading porn on the Interweb to be tooling about space, I totally expect the Cybermen to start dancing the Robot at any minute, what a lame villian, it doesn't turn gold jewelry green, gold jewelry turns them green, incase you don't get that, gold kills them, I would try a 357 magnum at point blank but that's me.

chris evans is getting a helluva lot of airspace on yer blog. i think old knudsen may have a thing for the ginger nut.
those kids on neighbours all looked the same anyway. interchangable with their mullets and appalling acting abilities. except jason donovan, he was fit.
You are prolific, old timer. Every blog I come across has more of your venomous hilarity. And you still have time to fill your own with such excellent streams of consciousness.
Gaijin Girl Darius Perkins is Scott Robinson not Donovan his bits smell like Kylie and bad pop songs. I must alert the world to the fact that Chris Evans is the Anti-Christ.
kav I keep getting called prolific but I have still to look it up, verbal diarrhea may be the term you're after.
Kav, he's just taking up the slack now that Kieran's on hiatus.
Kieran's on hiatus? I told that boy, "wear a condom when you go to Arbroath", he said he was just going there for a smokie, well it looks like he got one.
Battlestar Galactica (the new one) is reallly good, and they sometimes make fun of the original.
Well I can't blame them, the old show is to be mocked, the new one is not bad at all though may bring on depression in some .
What kind of window-licking, short-bus rider watches Dr. Who, anyway?
The ones that cried when Babylon 5 ended? I'd watch a fly crawl across the Tv screen the idiot box is my master. Once I saw Dr Who's ugly assistant's cleavage, I don't get out much.
Ah, Hell. I'll admit I cried when they cancelled "Firefly."
old man, my respect for you has risen to new heights with that gem about darius. not only for knowing it, but for admitting to knowing it.
you're pure class.
crankyprof killed off before it even got to it's prime, and who by? reality shows, Mal,beaucoup mal.
gaijin girl I have many skeletons in my closet, and few bodies under the patio, oh and some guy tied up in the garage, I had to go into rehab for Neighbours addiction, because everybody needs good nieghbours.
Sammy -- "Battlestar Galactica (the new one) is reallly good, and they sometimes make fun of the original."
Yes, it is, although I didn't think the old one was half-bad, considering I was only 10 when it was on.
CrankyProf -- "What kind of window-licking, short-bus rider watches Dr. Who, anyway?"
Them's fightin' words, missus.
"Ah, Hell. I'll admit I cried when they cancelled "Firefly.""
That's more like it, then.
Firefly was greatness, but so is everything Joss Whedon touches.
The first Buffy film was shite on a plate and served up cold.
I do read you, now and then. I just don't like you.
I didn't like my 3rd wife much, though I still shagged her for 5 years.
