I'm a recent convert to Who. I only got started relatively recently, but I'm now a huge fan and have introduced several people to Who.

I've been working my way through a lot of the old series, but I definitely prefer the new series. I feel like the old series often tends to drag, and doesn't have the kind of character development of the new show.

Anyway, I'm always excited to see more of the Doctor. I'm thoroughly enjoying Matt Smith's take on him. You can really believe that he's 1200 years old: he feels like a grandpa in a young body.
My first
My first time was with David Tennant. We played Doctor. Thankfully, he didn't forget to bring a banana to the party. When it came time for Operation, his Sonic made me buzz and I lit up. Then I went all wibbly-wobbly. ;-)
- Doctor Who story: Blink
- Torchwood story: Day One
- Sarah Jane Adventures story: never seen one
- Big Finish Productions audio: never heard one
My favourite
- Doctor: Tenth, but I really like all the new doctors a lot.
- 'Favorite old doctor: The second I think, but I haven't seen much of the fifth yet. I can't stand the first. The fourth is overrated.
- companion: Rose. Donna kinda irritated me. I would sell my soul to look like Amy.
- Companion music: Martha's theme is hauntingly beautiful.
- writer: Steven Moffat for his amazing individual episodes, but I liked the Davies era better.
- director:
- old series story: [[]]
- new series story: Blink, followed by The Girl in the Fireplace. Father's Day], The Impossible Planet and The Big Bang are up there too. I can't watch Doomsday without crying for at least an hour.
- Big Finish audio story: never heard one
- Comic story: not into comics
