- My turn.
-
- As with Barry Williams, being British, I have always watched Dr Who.
- My Dad has watched it religeously since 1963. So, every Saturday
- evening at 5:15, Dr Who would be on the TV in our home. I must have
- been watching it even as a tiny tot, though I obviously have little
- recollection of this. My earliest recollections of the programme
- must be from The Curse of Peladon (when I was two years old).
- Beyond that, I remember very small snippets up until the end of the
- Jon Pertwee era.
-
- What really got me well and truly hooked though was the Dr Who magazine,
- launched as the Dr Who Comic in 1979. It provided so much extra
- information, filling in the gaps in my memory, that I became a devoted
- fan overnight.
-
- As an aside, I still have a collection of Doctor Who memorabilia in
- my parents loft: Doctor Who comic (all issues), Doctor Who Monthly
- (frokm the start upto about issue 120 I think - I'd have to check),
- about sixty novelisations (of which about twenty are original issues
- with Chris Achilleos artwork) and a stack of autographed postcards
- (Tom Baker, Pat Troughton, Janet Fielding, Sarah Sutton and Mark
- Strickson).
-
- If anyone wants to e-mail me a serious offer, I'll dig the stuff out when
- I go home for Christmas, and give you a precise inventory of what I have.
