I have been a fan of Doctor Who for many years since I was a child (starting from age six or so), and often thinker it could be, and should be, greater than it often was allowed to be; for instance during the Graham Williams era when it veered into being a childish farce.

Though I always liked the show - and the Dalek films with Peter Cushing, an actor I am a fan of anyway - I really, really got into Doctor Who when I turned 14. One of my fondest 'Who' memories was when I met Colin Baker, the only actor from the program I have met in real life, who was a very charming man.I have a decent-size collection of DW-related materials, though I have other hobbies and interests.

My main interests include folklore (especially Russian, Japanese and Germanic), music (especially jazz, classical and folk), literature, folk art, history, politics, civil rights, a good game of chess or checkers (espeically!), European, Japanese and arthouse cinema and reading. My main background is in psychology, but my real passion is in archaeology.

Viktor Vasnetsov's Кащей Бессмертный, "Koschei The Deathless". This character from Russian folklore gave the Master his name, Koschei.
