For a long time I refused to call myself a "whovian" as I felt there were many, many more people more worthy of such a label; I just tended to like watching Doctor Who occassionally, ever since my mum first bought me [[The Five Doctors (TV story)|''The Five Doctors'']] Special Edition (which was great) and the[[Doctor Who (TV story)| ''Doctor Who'' movie]] (less so), way back in around 2002-3 (?). | For a long time I refused to call myself a "whovian" as I felt there were many, many more people more worthy of such a label; I just tended to like watching Doctor Who occassionally, ever since my mum first bought me [[The Five Doctors (TV story)|''The Five Doctors'']] Special Edition (which was great) and the[[Doctor Who (TV story)| ''Doctor Who'' movie]] (less so), way back in around 2002-3 (?). | ||
Finally, in 2016, I'll concede I am probably a big enough fan to call myself a whovian- I'm in the process of catching up on every Classic Who episode; at the time of writing, I've just finished ''[[Meglos]]''. I stopped watching the First Doctor after ''[[The Sensorites]]'', and started again with the last episode of [[The War Games]] (This was in 2015; I have since watched it in its entirety, and it's some of the best 4 hours of television I've watched.) | Finally, in 2016, I'll concede I am probably a big enough fan to call myself a whovian- I'm in the process of catching up on every Classic Who episode; at the time of writing, I've just finished ''[[Meglos]]''.

I've since gone back and give First/Second another shot; since I began listening to the ''[[The New Eighth Doctor Adventures|New Eighth Doctor Adventures]]'', I've grown to love audio, something I never really enjoyed, so I'm more open to watching the missing episodes now (although, since finishing [[Doom Coalition 2 (audio anthology)|''Doom Coalition 2'']],'' ''I've gone back to the original [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories]], and am struggling to listen to [[Charley Pollard]] without thinking "What's the girl from MasterChef doing in ''Doctor Who''?") I'm absolutely loving the Second Doctor stories- [[Patrick Troughton]] is simply amazing. I'm honestly enjoying them more than Series 10. The First, I'm enduring. I was looking forward to [[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]], especially having read [[Legacy of the Daleks (novel)|''Legacy of the Daleks'']], but it was honestly a bit of a disappointment- save for the First Doctor hitting a Roboman with his walking stick. | ||
Despite my lack of experience with Second Doctor serials, from what I had seen in [[The War Games|''The War Games'']], [[The Three Doctors|''The Three Doctors'']], [[The Five Doctors|''The Five Doctors'']] and [[The Two Doctors|''The Two Doctors'']], I comfortably concluded pretty early on that [[Patrick Troughton]] is my favourite Doctor of the "Classic" era, and that hasn't changed since around 2013 (at a guess). Since listening to the EDAs (from around June 2016), I have found a firmly cemented favourite companion in [[Lucie Miller]], and [[Paul McGann]] has risen to | Despite my lack of experience with Second Doctor serials, from what I had seen in [[The War Games|''The War Games'']], [[The Three Doctors|''The Three Doctors'']], [[The Five Doctors|''The Five Doctors'']] and [[The Two Doctors|''The Two Doctors'']], I comfortably concluded pretty early on that [[Patrick Troughton]] is my favourite Doctor of the "Classic" era, and that hasn't changed since around 2013 (at a guess). Since listening to the EDAs (from around June 2016), I have found a firmly cemented favourite companion in [[Lucie Miller]], and [[Paul McGann]] has risen to second in my hierarchy of Doctor-favouritism, followed by Patrick Troughton (only a very close third!) with [[Peter Davison]] in fourth (he was my first. Aww). But nobody will outclass the wonderful verisimilitude of [[David Tennant]], who in my opinion is the best Doctor, and probably will remain so for my lifetime, which is significantly shorter than that of a Time Lord's. | ||
