Which Doctor Who are you?


this quiz was made by Auntie Krizu(:>)

I was sure, the farther I went, that Patrick Troughton would be my match. Well, at least it wasn't Colin Baker. :)

Eep. I'm afraid to take that quiz for fear of getting told I'm Colin Baker.

Of the seven original doctors, he's the one I definitely would never want to be. But go ahead and try it, you can easily see which way the questions lead. Just don't choose anything about rhinestone cats or admiring yourself in a mirror.

I'm really hard-pressed to choose between Troughton, Pertwee, and Tom Baker though. I really enjoyed all of them. Eager to see what they have up their sleeve with the new revival that was just launched.

It says I'm Hartnell. Weird. He's not one of the ones I would've expected to end up as. Still, better than Colin Baker.

I think Pertwee is still my favorite. I actually liked McCoy a lot, too. I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that they went back and tied up some of the unfinished storylines while he was the Doctor.

But the Candyman...uhg.

I don't know where it's going to be shown in the U.S., but the CBC premiere is next Tuesday (4/5/05, 8:00 p.m. Eastern). Their website is http://www.cbc.ca/doctorwho/.

I don't remember where I read it, but I do recall seeing, months back, that there aren't any US networks or distribution companies for the show. I vaguely recall some network being interested in picking it up for the US market, but then deciding against it.

That hoovers, since I've seen a couple UK folk post good stuff about it. Hopefully somebody will pick it up. I'd say I'm surprised that the SciFi channel didn't grab it, but I'm not. They have such a horrid record when it comes to making programming decisions.

Surely it ought to appear on that BBC channel that's carried by many cable and satellite systems. We get neither here, so I don't know much about it other than the fact that the BBC pushes it hard to US viewers at the beginning of every BBC DVD. We do watch a lot of those, thanks to NetFlix.

Does that mean channel 9 in Windsor will have it? Or are they all gone now?

[songdogmi.livejournal.com]

It'll be on channel 9, yep. They're still around; I think I watch more of it than I do the local Detroit channels. I'll be taping Doctor Who for a friend of mine who doesn't have either cable or a good antenna.

No U.S. network has it because they need time for more reality TV and yet another CSI or Law and Order. /* eyes are rolling */

Why I don't go to the expense of getting a satellite dish installed. Nothing on it worth the waste of time and money, IMHO. :)

I keep wishing my cable company would offer a selection of maybe 10 channels for a lower rate. Out of the fifty-some channels I get now, I'd only miss about ten if they all went away.

You know, I used to watch the show faithfully when I was a pre-teen and I still can't tell youw hat it was about...

The focus shifted somewhat from the early years. I suspect by the later episodes that you saw, they were assuming that you knew most of the background material. The Doctor was a Time Lord, i.e. a long-lived alien from the planet Gallifrey where an entire culture has grown up around time travel mechanisms and passive observation of history. The Time Lords had a sort of 'prime directive' not to interfere, but the Doctor's personal ethics didn't allow him to obey that, so he meddled a lot. Sometimes in Earth's history, sometimes in other events elsewhere, usually accompanied by younger companions from non-timetraveling cultures.

Originally it was thought of as a sort of educational program in which the young companions got a personal view of real history, but it quickly wandered into the fantastic.

That much I knew, "the basics" as it were... I think I just watched because it seemed to go from one event to the next in a way I found entertaining. Maybe I was just too young to appreciate anything more than that.
