My Toy Collection - By Jack

Even before I became a Doctor Who Fan I have always been a collector. Whether it is Star Wars or vinyl records or Doctor Who I have had a collector in me from a young age. So it was inevitable that when I became a Doctor Who fan I would no doubt want to collect the toys and merchandise from this iconic series. I started buying old annuals at boot fairs, mainly from the Tom Baker and Peter Davidson era, and I found a great Dalek annual from the 60s. I found a complete Tom Baker doll from the Denys Fisher toy line and even began to collect the modern toys as well.

30 days and still going strong! ~ By Kristy

36 days in and I can no longer say with any degree of confidence who my favourite Doctor is. Even though sometimes I come in from work and all I want to do is go to bed and sleep, the prospect of a brand new episode of Doctor Who is exciting enough to keep me out of my PJs just that little bit longer.

I really see this as a fantastic opportunity and have really enjoyed getting to know the different Doctors, their different companions and their wonderful adventures. Everything from the silliness of Sylvester McCoy to the beautiful class that is Tom Baker’s voice and the classic nature of William Hartnell’s performance has been really inspiring and I find myself thinking about Doctor Who even whilst at work.

Series 1 - Christopher Eccleston - Dalek by Kristy

I was really excited when we chose ‘Dalek’ as the first modern Doctor Who that we would review as it is an episode that is very close to my heart, not only was it the first episode I saw with Christopher Eccleston but it was also my favourite episode from his series and my very first episode with the Daleks. 

There are many things that are simply irresistible about this episode but the biggest thing for me is seeing just how much damage the time war really did to the Doctor. Christopher Eccleston was a brilliant choice to bring the Doctor to life again, he is a fantastic actor and he really showed it in this story when he unleashed his anguish and anger on the imprisoned Dalek. 

Day 3 - The Remembrance of the Daleks

This evening we have watched the final two instalments of 'The three doctors' and the first 25 minute instalment of 'The Remembrance of the Daleks with Sylvester McCoy, this was a first for both of us as neither of us had experienced a Sylvester McCoy episode before.

Review of 'The Remembrance of the Daleks' to follow tomorrow :)
