I remembered Dr. Who from PBS, I think, when I was growing up. When it was the guy with the really freaky curly hair and ... a scarf?
This is exactly the extent of my background in Dr. Who.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

That's the scarf the guy in college had! I'm glad I remembered it correctly.

I had a Dr Who scarf in college. It was my mom's that she'd knit when she was in college. It was awesome.

But I had no idea it was still a program until people here mentioned it.
Started the weekend after JFK's assasination on BBC, played through 1989, then was brought back in 2005 not as a reboot (like Battlestar Galactica), but as a continuation of the classic series. Oh, and there was a Fox TV-movie in 1996 that has been incorporated into the show's backstory, but it really sucked.

Good god, Suzi. Colorado is crazy! Poor kid.

Yeah, that's the one. Didn't that iteration have a really woo-woo spiralling graphic in the opener, too? I know it sort of freaked me out for some reason.
I think you people are the only people I know who watch it. Of course, you people are the majority of people I know, so.
This.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I didn't watch the show, but caught end bits of it as it came on right before Monty Python. I thought Tom Baker was awfully cute. Something about the combination of the hangdog expression and the curly hair and insane scarf was really charming.

Yes! That's the only reason I ever saw it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Since I grew up in the UK, I have to know who Doctor Who is. I forget most of you people are foreigners.
Why would anyone spell my name iTa? Ita I get. I hate it, but I get it. iTa? You're just being difficult.
I'm drinking Mexican Coca Cola with lunch. It still gives me the squeaky teeth feeling that I don't like about Coke. I've been drinking way too much soda recently, even though most of it is purportedly-natural Izze.

Poor Paul McGann. Such a great choice for the role, but so the wrong version to showcase him.
