- To bring a British dimension to these stories, I started watching in the
- seventies as a small child, because everybody did. The first story I can
- actually remember from the first time I saw it is the Planet of Evil - and then

- I've watched ever since, right up into the eighties when nobody did, and
- Who-fans tended to get the mickey taken out of them rather a lot.
