Doctor Who Returns


Growing up in So. Cal had a lot to offer. One of the best of them was a UHF TV station that played Doctor Who. I had seen the commercials and it made me wonder enough to tune in to watch. After one viewing I had to see another and from that point on I became a 'Whoovian'. Later I found out that it was a BBC sci-fi show and had quite a following. The good doctor's TV program began back in 1963 ended in 1989. Had a less then successful made for TV movie to launch another series and then a Very good re-launch in 2005 (which I just saw tonite).

A good number of actors have played the Doctor over the years. Each with a unique take on the Time-Lord.

William Hartnell (1963–1966)
Patrick Troughton (1966–1969)
Jon Pertwee (1970–1974)
Tom Baker (1974–1981)
Peter Davison (1981–1984)
Colin Baker (1984–1986)
Sylvester McCoy (1987–1989, 1996)
Paul McGann (1996)
Christopher Eccleston (2005)
David Tennant (2005–present)

I'm hoping that this will be another 26year run.
