Doctor Who titleSince I got hooked on Doctor Who–the first episode I ever saw was the one about the Queen’s coronation and the lady sucking faces through TV screens–I’ve had many folks ask me what it’s about, like it’s simply a show with a premise. It’s far beyond a show. It can grow into an obsession for some, but I’d say I’m not…quite…there yet. But it’s also nostalgia for all those kids (British) who grew up watching Doctor Who from the time it started in 1963.

William HartnellFor me it’s been a discovery, since I started with the new Doctors, gobbled them up, then started hunting down the old shows. These start with The Unearthly Child and grumpy William Hartnell in 1963. What a wild ride…and very hard to explain to someone who has never seen it. Well, even if they’ve seen one episode, it still can be hard to explain. This article has a basic run-down.

But as we’re gearing up for Thanksgiving the countdown has begun on the big annual event–the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Used to be we had to wait until spring in the US to see what aired on Christmas Day in the UK. No longer–we get it on Christmas Day, too! Forget the shopping, the tree, the present–sit me down with a cup of eggnog and the Doctor Who Christmas Special!David Tennant

Happy Thanksgiving, ya’ll!
