I'd heard about Doctor Who as a kid, probably due to commercials on PBS while watching Monty Python. I may even have tried to watch some old ones, but at least at the time, I didn't get into it. Then with Russell Davies' version, I couldn't get enough, and I watch the show, repeatedly when there aren't new ones, I watch the old ones, I watch the cartoons, I caught the movie again over the weekend, and my wife made me a birthday present of a Tardis-blue 3D frame holding the police box sign and Matt's and David's sonics. It's very cool.
And at the risk of slightly on-topic-ing this thread, I wrote Doctor Who Review to read about the show wherever I am when I get the chance. I know quite a few people have downloaded it, but I may be the biggest user. Check it out if you get a chance,
