23skidoo, aka Alex, is a freelance journalist and book editor in Calgary, Canada, who has been a Doctor Who fan since the mid-1980s. Since then he's seen all but a handful of the existing "classic series" stories, has read the novelisations of most of the missing ones, and has also followed, off and on, the "expanded universe" of the Virgin, BBC Books and Big Finish eras. One of his claims to fame was that he was one of the first people in North America to receive a copy of Summoned by Shadows, the inaugural Doctor Who-related release by Bill Baggs Video in the early days of the "independent film" era of the francise's history. Alex let his Whovian credentials lapse for a few years and slipped into the darkness of Trekkiedom for a time, but after the cancellation of Enterprise he resigned from that fraternity and was quite happy to jump back on board the SS TARDIS when it set sail again in 2005.
When he's not editing the TARDIS Wikia, he's likely to be found editing the main Wikipedia where he's been an administrator for the past several years. He appreciates the fact that he can upload images to the TARDIS Wikia without getting forms signed in triplicate, providing a blood sample, and obtaining a letter of permission from his mother.
His all-time favorite Doctor is Jon Pertwee, however both Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant are only a sonic screwdriver's length behind.
And for the record he feels Russell T. Davies wrote a brilliant Series 4 finale and is of the opinion that Doctor Who, despite occasional missteps, towers over all other SF currently on American or British television.
