Been watching Doctor Who for many years. Thirteen is the Doctoriest Doctor. Also enjoy much other telly/movies. Currently on another attempt to get caught up with all the Skulduggery Pleasant novels. Often partake in a bit of Audible and love the graps.

No plans today, so I thought I'd post a little thread about my Doccy Who journey over the years. As there have been quite a few of them. Kicking off with the earliest photos that I still have of me doing #DoctorWho things; Watching my 'big' Christmas present in 1985. And some Nan knitting!
A #DoctorWho Advent Calendar - Day 2
William Hartnell is amazing during his time in the Tardis, and without his playful performance, the show might have been a minor blip in TV history.
That being said, I'm still of a mind that the Doctor's indefinable "Doctoriness" begins with Patrick Troughton.

I did try and start this a few days early, but between work and Stranger Things, it got away from me. So, let's give it another go.
And behind today's door, let's start with the best Christmas Present the show ever gave me. 🥰 youtu.be/yJqsPBWbtjk?...

Even before my interest in Doctor Who "paused" in the 90's, my VHS collection was already diminishing - 'cos I was replacing them with DVD's. I think I actually recorded over most of them 😮.... and binned the rest! 😵

Heading to a gig at the O2 Brixton this evening, which means travelling light (no backpacks allowed). So no Skulduggery Pleasant Book for the journey (cos hardback).
Instead then, I went with something a little more pocket friendly.

Happy #DoctorWho day to all. I started with Four, became a fan during Five and that grew through the 80's till the wilderness years, when I drifted away. The TVM kept the flame lit and I enjoyed the new series, particularly when Moff took over. Thirteen was/is my Doctoriest Doctor of them all 💕

Originally, I was gonna do an advent calendar'ish Doctor Who post-a-day in December. But then I thought, why not kick things off today instead! No specific theme, just some of my favourite Who things every day till Chrimble. youtu.be/70Myfm2pqZQ?...

It's never too early, if you live in a Tardis. 🎄☺️ #DoctorWho

This was an easy one, cos I love a story with a little Tardis-doing-something-different action. And the scene in that first photo always reminds me of the bus crash/rescue in Delta and the Bannermen! #DoctorWho

8 years ago today, we got our first look at the Thirteenth Doctor's iconic costume.
I loved it from the start, it felt proper old school #DoctorWho to me. Don't get me wrong, I'd been cool with the Doctor dressing normally('ish) since the start of New Who. But this felt so properly Doctory! 🥰

Hi Disney! Now you're saving money from #DoctorWho, how about reversing a recent (and ludicrous) cancellation and give us another series of a show that was 100 times better the last 3 years of Who. #RenegadeNell
Alternatively, hey BBC. Let Sally Wainwright run Who with Louisa Harland as the Doctor!

I'm largely meh at the prospect of more RTD #DoctorWho And considering where he left things at the end of season 2'ish, the chances that it won't be another self-indulgent celebration of his own era are likely slim.
But it's fine. 'Cos we'll still only be ¾'s of the way through series 12b by then!☺️

So having Mercedes on a show is clearly a big draw. And a promotion being able to call her their women's champion might bring fresh eyes their way.
But it also kinda puts those titles in limbo for the smaller promotions. Mercedes has titles she won in June/July that haven't been defended since #AEW

Half of #AEW and #ROH women's titles have now been held for over a year (2+ for Athena). Red Velvet only dropped the TV title (after a year) due to injury. Subsequently Mina's had just one defense.
Meanwhile, we're not getting much in the way of ongoing feuds or storylines. It's feeling a tad lazy.

I remember seeing this one when it aired. The day before, there had been an ad for the Radio Times, which had included a clip of Remembrance. The next evening, I made sure I was watching BBC1 at the same time in the hope of seeing it again - and instead got this.

My memories of this are puzzling. On the one hand, I'm sure I saw it in colour and with my family, because I remember talking about the new title sequence. But I also remember watching all of McCoy's era (on transmission) on my portable B&W telly in my room, cos Mum would have been watching Corrie.🤔

If AJ Lee ever does return to the ring, I want that return to be about entirely AJ Lee the wrestler in her own right. Not as Punk's wife, as part of a title feud which is ultimately between two blokes. #WWE #WrestleSky
