My friend introduced me to it in the mid '80s when I was a teenager in St Louis. I joined the CIA and would watch it on PBS whenever my mom would let me stay up that late and borrowed my friend's tapes whenever I had access to a VCR. At the time Colin Baker was the current Doctor but that was long before the days of downloading the latest episode, so I filled up on Tom Baker and Peter Davidson. Not sure which is my favorite. I go back and forth.

I never lost track of Doctor Who, and spent quite a bit of time collecting the old series. So I was estatic when they announced the new series in 2005. I love it! The old series will always have a special place in my heart, of course, but this new series is amazing! I just watched the finale last weekend. Sigh. Now I have to wait all the way until Christmas. And then next year we don't even have a proper season. I swear, if I ever win the lottery, I'm going to fund some extra episodes. :D

Do you know any other local Who fans? I would love to find someone to watch it with but, being married, hanging out with a guy to watch a show is kind of akward. I keep hoping to find a female Who fan but all my local friends are into things like scrapbooking and chick flicks. Not a sci fi fan in the lot.
