This, I think, is an interesting point. How long have you been a fan,
and what was your first contact with Dr Who?
For my part, I have vague memories of watching Sara Kingdom get her's in

Then I was a diehard Whovian through my teen years, but have become a much more
casual "fan" since around college. (Maybe I'll pop in one video every month or
two...) For one thing, how many times can you watch the same stories when you
know what's going to happen? But I think the creativity involved in the whole
concept is something to be proud of. Doctor Who gets a bad rap sometimes, but
it's quality entertainment and I still feel that way.

I'm 28, and my first contact with Who *might* have been when they showed
"Pyramids of Mars" on one of our local stations in syndication in the late
1970s, but I consider my first real contact with the series to be in
January 1982 with the second episode of Robot.
One of things that I noticed is that in this country that saying what
your first episodes were isn't quite the same thing -- it's possible that
some of Lance's first encounters with the series were in roughly the same
era as mine -- but he was a whole lot younger when he saw it than when
I saw it. The first story you saw doesn't mean quite the same thing as
it does here.
Though that's really only true with fans before 1990 or so -- fans afterwards
in both countries (and in Canada, Australia, and NZ) are all a lot more in
the same boat, and are introduced to it in random patterns more like how
US fans were...

But I became fascinated by the Five Faces of Doctor Who repeat season here in
the UK, back in 1981, when I suddenly realised the show had a long history. And
by the time Castrovalva was broadcast a couple of months later I'd devoured a
couple of dozen Target books, studied Jean-Marc Lofficier's recently published
Programme Guide, and thought of myself as a bona fide expert!
Never looked back since... :-)

Then, in July 1985, WETA 26 began airing the Tom Baker stories in movie

But didn't your Mother say that she wasn't interested in

really sure which one, but the loop had moved on to Davison by the time
I really got into it.

How long have I been a fan? Since around 1979 when I was 13 years old
and I'd been watching Dr Who for just under a year. Our PBS station
(WHYY Channel 12, Philadell-phia) had started running it with "Robot"
in September 1978.
My first contact with Who wasn't really with what I'd call "canonical"
Who. I wandered into the room when my older brother was watching one
of the Dalek movies on TV and thought, "Cool!" I know, sad isn't it? I
guess I was about 5 years old at the time.

First remembered viewing (I was apparently watching with the family before
then) was ep 4 of 'Web of Fear' as a not-yet 2 year-old. Then a few random
Troughton memories. I started young.....
I wouldn't class myself as a *fan* until part-way through the Pertwee era,
the point where I ensured that I didn't miss any episode. In 1974, I was
certainly watching the episodes twice in the same week on BBC1 and BBC
Wales. Happy days.....

I have a few memories of watching the final episode of "The War Games"
in its original 1969 BBC broadcast, including the final scene where
Troughton's Doctor is sent off into exile on earth.
However it was the Pertwee years which hooked me; he will always be my
favourite Doctor. The Silurians were definitely the scariest thing I
had seen in my eight year old life and sent me running behind the couch
every time they appeared on screen. That makes me 37 years old, BTW.

You know, ths phenomenon is really interesting to me. I have heard from others
that various Who monsters prompted them to hide behind the couch when they were
young. It wasn't a monster that did this to me. It was the Master in Deadly
Assasin which always made me run behind the couch. Definately the scariest
looking thing that Who ever produced. Anyone else have a Who terror that they
want to share?

My first contact with Who was the Cushing movies sometime in the late 70's
early 80's. My first contact with TV WHO was the Five Doctors in 1983,
where I became an insti-fan. So 16 years or so, unless we count out the
time period I wasn't a fan, which makes it about 9 years.

BOO! Red Dwarf is great. On Saturday, it comes before a whole DW story on KSPS. Never miss them.
My first image of DW is of the "Arc in Space" with the leader taking charge of the situation and
then pulling out his hand from his pocket and seeing he is mutating. I estimate I saw this in July
or August of 1990. At this time I was 9 years old, and I percieved Doctor Who to be a scarry show
that came before a cartoon and I had just seen the end of the DW episode while waiting for the
cartoon to start. Over the months I saw the last minute or two mins of DW just before the cartoon
often: I remember seeing the end of pt 4 of Sontaran Expirament, and the end of pt. 2 or 3 of
Pyramids of Mars. I didn't know anything about the show, but I came to know (from those short
clippings that) the metal dog was called K-9 and that the guy in the red coat and scarf was the
Doctor. I once actually watched about 15 min of Creature from the pit, and 20 min of pt 3 of Horns
of the Nimon (which were my first experiences of DW) but didn't watch the next episodes, because I
was scared to death (theme music and wierd tunnel for the credits just added to it.). I estimate
that this was October 1990 and March of 1991. I remember seeing the master taking over the body of
Tremas (in the last couple mins I saw while waiting for the cartoon to start). In May 91, I saw
the last min of pt. 4 of The Visitation, and was confused why they called the guy in he yellowish
jacket the Doc. (I had no idea about regeneration). A few weeks later, I watched the last couple
of eps of Earthshock, and never stopped. In Jan 92, (when they were showing the Web Planet) I went
to the UK for a week and picked up a copy of the 1991 yearbook (to this day my only item of DW
merchandise.) When I returned, they had stopped showing DW on my channel, but I found another and
still watch to this day. Since I'm still young, I find I appreciate the show on a different level
each time I watch them over again. I'm now 18 and a big DW fan but have never met another fan in
flesh and blood.
Yeah! Let's here it for British Sci Fi! Never seen anyone do so much on a
shoe string budget, and that means Who or Red Dwarf! Love that Rimmer!

My brother and I thought the TV guide said "Dr No" (the James Bond
movie) was showing on WOSU-TV 34 PBS (Columbus, Ohio). Instead, we tuned
in to catch the middle and end of "Warriors of the Deep." We were very
confused by the police box. And lots of other things.
I remember I loved the ending.
We tuned in every week thereafter, and were shocked when, less than a

Autumn, 1980(I think...) CKVU(Channel 13,Van., BC), Saturday mornings,
either 8 or 8.30, the latter I think, saw it in the TV Guide one week
thought I'd give it a try, two or three weeks later finally woke up
early enough(before our first VCR--you *do* remember those days, don't
you?--), caught Part 1 of "The Green Death", watched a few minutes,
couldn't make heads or tails of it, too tired anyway, went back to bed,
caught a few more episodes later on, barely got a glimmer of what was
going on, kept up with it a few more weeks, lost interest when I
couldn't figure it out, then surprise, surprise, CKVU cancelled it due
to low ratings, no apology for the crappy time slot (the kind of
attitude that makes one want to use sharp objects on the person holding
it "just for a little while...say three days?"). Two or three years
later, my mother watches a number of TomDocs on KVOS(Ch12) before I'm
ever aware they're on--I only find this out lo-o-o-ong after the
fact--and then, the first time I ever see one, love at first sight, I've

Well you know Cthulu is so demanding over things, always want you to leave
the body a certain way for it, don't mess with its stuff, don't eat the

Im not really very good with titles usually I dont think.
The only thing in Doctor Who Ive written whcih I later say a very similiar
title published, was some time ago I wrote a fanfic called "Dark Paths".
Thats about the closest Ive independantly used a later title of someone
elses.
Oh yeah Im going to do a Cthulhu scene...not a big shocker looking at the
other cameos in earlier issues.
However I would say issues with cameos are the rare exception.
I dont want to parody science fiction as much as create my own SF
universe. However I have made my universe a quantum friendly one
so all sorts of people and things fictional and real might exist there.
Yeah I know and he's got some great stuff!

here.

Still doesn't change the fact that I have quite possibly one of the most
generic Doctor Who titles ever generated!

Just told you I'm a straight arrow. I'm as boring as duck without a drug
habit.

The Source of Power. Notable only because the generic words hadn't
already been used...

What? You mean you want... money? How downright... mercenary. You'd
think you had to earn a living or something... :)
Well money, favors, material goods...can't be bad!

Hmm. Material goods, eh? The Time Monster on video do you?
Eh, no? I dont think that's legal barter on any of the nine planets!

Yes! You must take it off my hands immediately! Have pity!
Pity? We do not know this word. You will be EXTERMINATED!

Nope, words not in the third position!
No "Source of the Daleks" or "Daleks of Power" or anything.

AAAAIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!
Hmm. Hold on, I'm not quite dead. You only seem to have paralysed my
legs.
Oh damn! You must be a companion of the Doctor! We can only paralyse
their legs or twist their ankles!

Yes, you're right. I think... if I try hard enough... I can crawl
over... to that... doorway... before... you shoot me.... again...
... almost there...

Well, I'm 21... born in 77... I've been a fan since I was three and my
mother bought me 'Doctor Who and the Crusaders' as I was bored reading
'kiddie books'. Her fault really then... my first TV memories are hazy
recollections of the fourth to fifth regeneration, some Davison stuff...
Believe it or not my favourite Doctor is Hartnell
