    Favourite companion? Probably Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. This lovely lady died at he tender age of 65 and was the only cast member to have her own show (for kiddies but we watched it anyway).

    I'm trying to find an old photo I have of a cast-iron paint and inflammables store belonging to the BBC which may have been a model for the Daleks. The Doctor's arch enemy has certainly been imprinted on everyone's mind here.

    On edit:
    Oh dear, it looks like Daleks can't travel at such high speed through the wormhole between my packet radio program and here without getting smashed into the rear of the capsule. (;->)

    I started watching Doctor Who with No. 4 Tom Baker. My favorite Who's were number 4 and number 11 (Matt Smith). I always liked Sarah Jane Smith and K-9 for companions.

    It's on right now via simulcast of different venues. Try BBCA if you can't find it elsewhere.

    Favorite Companions, Nyssa, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane, Perri, K-9 and Leela.

    Favorite Doctors, Tom Baker, David Tennant, Colin Baker and Jon Pertwee. Haven't seen Matt Smith yet.

    Met Jack Harkness at ComiCon a few years back. He was as much fun in real life as in the series and in Torchwood.

    Found it. This cast iron "thing" was about 7 feet high, weighed as much as a small car and was designed to contain cans of inflammable liquids. Normally it lived somewhere around the back of the main building at BBC Wood Norton training school but on April 1st we decided it would make a good traffic island in front of the premises.
