Happy Birthday Doctor Who - 41 today.

[Wat_Tyler]

41 years since you stumbled out onto Totter's Lane.
Happy Birthday, you fictional curmudgeon, you.

(yes, this is the nerdiest post of the day)

1. Hey, let's create a guest list for his party (this elevates the nerd level

to 11)...

I'll bring:

13. EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

Sorry...couldn't resist! Ah, the memories. Happy birthday, Doctor. I've missed you.

14. Dalkeks with clotted cream and

where are the strawberries?

[Wat_Tyler]

17. Damn you Davros!

YOU FORGOT STRAWBERRIES!

[tigereye]

26. he would, wouldn't he

never seemed too concerned about the social niceties, that one.

[trotsky]

2. That's right - I had forgotten!

They delayed/interrupted the first broadcast because of the Kennedy assassination.

A fun, entertaining show, and my favorite Sci-Fi.

[Dhalgren]

3. I have always loved Dr. Who.

Tom Baker was my personal favorite. This show spoke to the inner child and gave me hours of enjoyment. I watch any time I can catch one. And I'm not even a nerd...

[Wat_Tyler]

7. It's more comic than most Sci Fi.

There's an air of absurdity about it that rescues it from po-facedness.

4. I've heard BBC is bringing it back

sometime next year, with Doctor number 9.

[Wat_Tyler]

8. Yeah. Christopher Eccleston. A good choice.

I know the CBC has bought it, so I imagine a US network will follow suit.

[AllegroRondo]

9. I heard FX would show it in the US

part of the contract from the TV movie in the late 90's

11. Got a photo of the new Doctor?

I haven't seen anything about him yet.

[Wat_Tyler]

12. Here's the info from the BBC.

22. Wow, another "younger" guy

reminds me of Peter Davidson

[Wat_Tyler]

23. He's a proper actor, though.

Hell of a track record.

[tigereye]

15. oh God I hope so.

waves nerd banner.

[Donkeyboy75]

16. *taps tiger eye on shoulder*

ahem, I want my banner back. :grr:

[tigereye]

25. you will have to debate me on the topic of

uh particle physics ( may be poor choice on my part, aren't you a prof. or something?) or psychopathology ( my field) to get it, nerdboy! ;)

[Donkeyboy75]

28. I have the most pedestrian knowledge of that.

Let's do bioorganic chemistry. :bounce:

BTW, I noticed you are from Pittsburgh. Great city. I have relatives from Monroeville, Sharon and Washington...and lived in the P'burgh for awhile. Loves me the Strip District. :hi:

And does your field make you a psychopath?

[tigereye]

29. no, hmm not sure what disorder I think I have this week

;)

I knew you were a science guy. A lot of folks have connections to Pittsburgh. It is a nice and affordable place to live with many great cultural aspects. When did you live here?

[Donkeyboy75]

30. Long time ago.

Late 70s. Until four or five years ago, I'd return at least three times a year, though. Loved driving through the tunnels then over the bridges on the way back to da Burgh at night when I was a kid.

[tigereye]

31. there is nothing like the view coming out of the Ft. Pitt tunnel

at night. And I think we have the second largest number of bridges in the world. Many I know who have left here really miss it, and many have returned.

[Wat_Tyler]

18. I'm sure something will come of it.

It looks like it's going to be a big deal.

[Donkeyboy75]

19. Thanks for throwing my day in the shitter.

Haven't seen an episode in awhile, so now I have to shop around for some DVDs. Thanks, a-hole.

[Wat_Tyler]

20. Ah, put a Cork in it.

Or, go shopping there.

[Donkeyboy75]

21. Shame on you.

[Wat_Tyler]

24. Worst pun of the day.

[Gothmog]

27. Happy Birthday to my favorite Time Lord

This is a great thread.
