I even went to the Doctor Who museum in Cardiff, Wales when we were vacationing over there a few summers ago, it was incredible. I am so excited to see who they are going to choose for the new Doctor. I think Capaldi did a fantastic job, but of course I say that about every Doctor before him as well.

For me though the Doctor was Jon Pertwee. I think while I liked Tom Baker after him, by then I was losing interest.<br /><br />Yes I was terrified of some stations & enemies. There were some ant creatures called Zarbees or some such thing, who freaked me out. I loved the Daleks but was scared at the same time by their menacing presence.<br /><br />In later years, I got back into it, David Tennent was the best by far.<br /><br />Perhaps you should have some comments on the fit sidekicks over the years.

I stopped watching just after Colin Baker took over. <br />Considering the budget, they managed to tell some great, inventive stories. <br /> And yes, that series scared me quite a few times. Remember the one where some bloke ripped off his face to reveal a one-eyed mutant-thing underneath? I had nightmares for a week after that.<br /><br /> Looking forward to Nov 23 immensely.
