=== My Firsts: ===
My father was a fan as a child and was among those who first saw the [[Dalek|Daleks]] on TV and was scared of them. So much so, my grandmother took the Dalek away from him. And, apparently, never seen it since.


I was born in 1986, just two months before the transmission of ''[[Season 23|The Trial of a Time Lord]]''. My memories of the transmission of the Seventh Doctor episodes are vague, but was one of the fans from the VHS generation. [[VHS]] releases of [[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|''The Dalek Invasion of Earth'']], ''[[Day of the Daleks (TV story)|Day of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)|Revenge of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[Pyramids of Mars (TV story)|Pyramids of Mars]]'', ''[[Death to the Daleks (TV story)|Death to the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Seeds of Death (TV story)|The Seeds of Death]]'' and ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang (TV story)|The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]'' are among my early [[Doctor Who|Who]] memories.
* First Doctor story: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]''
* Second Doctor story: ''[[The Seeds of Death (TV story)|The Seeds of Death]]''
* Third Doctor story: either Day of the Daleks or Death to the Daleks
* Fourth Doctor story: either Pyramids of Mars, The Robots of Death, Revenge of the Cybermen or The Talons of Weng-Chiang
* Fifth Doctor story: The Five Doctors
* Sixth Doctor story: Revelation of the Daleks
* Seventh Doctor story: Remembrance of the Daleks
* Eighth Doctor: TV Movie
* Ninth Doctor story: Rose
* Tenth Doctor story: Children in Need special (2005)
* Eleventh Doctor story: The Eleventh Hour
* Twelfth Doctor story: Deep Breath (unless you count his cameos in The Day of the Doctor and The Time of the Doctor)
* Thirteenth Doctor: The Woman Who Fell to Earth
* Dalek story: Either The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Day of the Daleks or Death to the Daleks
* Master story: The Five Doctors
* Cybermen story: Revenge of the Cybermen
* Sontaran story: The Time Warrior
* Big Finish audio: The Apocalypse Element
* BBC Audio: Slipback
* Novel: War of the Daleks
* Annual: 1990s Doctor Who Yearbook
* Comic Strip: Probably the reprint of The Ugrakks or On the Web Planet


Being a fan during the 16-year hiatus was no easy task, with a lot of my school friends mocking the show for "bad effects and wobbly sets." Yes, sets in classic Doctor Who did wobble, but less than non-Who fans remember. And the effects were only as good as the time it was made in and with little finances and resources at the time. Of course, when Doctor Who came back, I was delighted and still support it now.
=== Favourites: ===


=== Big Finish ===
* First Doctor: The Dalek Invasion of Earth
It's no secret that I love [[Big Finish Productions|Big Finish]]. ''[[The Apocalypse Element (audio story)|The Apocalypse Element]]'' was my first story, received on [[25 December (releases)|Christmas Day]] [[2000 (releases)|2000]]. Daleks invading Gallifrey was this fan's dream come true. Little did we know it would serve as a little prequel to the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]] when Doctor Who came back. Sadly I haven't got all [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories|700+ releases]], but maybe one day. A regular listener to [[The Big Finish Podcast|the Sunday morning podcasts]] hosted by [[Nicholas Briggs|Nick Briggs]] and [[Benji Clifford]], which is an absolute delight, giving informative discussions about upcoming releases and a healthy dose of banter for our amusement. And [[Toby Hadoke's Who's Round]] is a nice little fun way to donate to charity.
* Second Doctor: The Evil of the Daleks
* Third Doctor: Planet of the Daleks
* Fourth Doctor: The Horns of Nimon
* Fifth Doctor: Arc of Infinity
* Sixth Doctor: Revelation of the Daleks
* Seventh Doctor: Remembrance of the Daleks
* Eighth Doctor: Sword of Orion (Big Finish)
* War Doctor: Only the Monstrous (Big Finish)
* Ninth Doctor: Dalek
* Tenth Doctor: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End
* Eleventh Doctor: The Day of the Doctor
* Twelfth Doctor: World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
* Thirteenth Doctor: The Power of the Doctor
* Fugitive Doctor: Fugitive of the Judoon
* Multi-Doctor story: The Five Doctors
* Big Finish: The Apocalypse Element

* Comic: Children of the Revolution
* Extended media franchise: Big Finish


=== Doctor Who Magazine ===
== Things I like outside of Doctor Who ==
All pages based on Doctor Who Magazine (such as release dates, comic strip releases and short stories releases) are based on [[DWM 500]]'s Souvenir Special.


=== Reference Books ===
* Comedy (particularly non-PC humour)
I love random trivia and, as a result, have been planning a little project for the last 20 years to release my own reference books, which I planned to title Space-Time Continuity, which will look into continuity references, with a volume looking at spin-off adventures which makes references to the TV series. Fans site such as this helps to keep the research going.
* Rock music
 
* Charity walks
== Outside of Who ==
Born in Harlow, [[Essex]] (UK). Originally trained as an actor, now work as a carer and support work for disabled people.
 
Came out as gay in 2006 around the time of my 20th birthday. Currently single.
 
Lover of rock music - among my favourite bands/artists includes Queen, [[David Bowie]], Alice Cooper, Linkin Park and Hollywood Vampires.
 
Also a comedy fan. Favourite comedians: Jim Davidson (yes I'm a gay man who's not easily offended by his jokes, hence why I'm a comedy fan), Jasper Carrot, Michael McIntyre and Russell Howard.
 
Favourite comedies: Mrs Brown's Boys, Fawlty Towers and the two Padington films.
 
Fan of crime documentaries.
