How did we miss this important day in history?

[Sand Rat]

Yesterday was apparently the day of the debut of The Doctor.

Well, I mentioned it on the Forum of Doom yesterday as we have a fairly long Doctor Who thread at this point.

46 years though. Coming up on the half century with a decent chance of being on the air at the time.

I'm sure there's a Tardis in the Freakbar somewhere. We ought to go back and watch it.

Fittingly, I was just listening to some Chameleon Circuit as I opened this thread

Please yell at me if you need to.

But I've never seen Dr. Who. Ever.

I keep saying I need to watch it, I should watch it, I'm loosing my geek cred by not watching it

but somehow I always end up watching something else.

makes me sad inside.

Today, 11/24/09, is the 18th anniversary of the death of Freddie Mercury.

In tribute, I offer:

Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody

Well then, what are you waiting for, go forth and observe the manifold glories of the Doctor

In tribute I present Chameleon Circuits "Exterminate Regenerate"

Some minor niggles (imperfect cadence dammit) but overall a not a bad song, and certainly catchy

Well, Becca, it is available to rent you know.

Can't believe I forgot about this! 46 years, 10 doctors and still going.

The opening has always been my favorite part. Love that music and the visuals (okay, some of them were a little cheesy, but still...).

And it looks like everyones favorite Texas based British author (or at least he was last time I checked) will be doing a new Dr. Who book - http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2009/11/michael-moorcock-set-to-write-dr-who-novel.html

I'd advise starting at the 2005 version then going back to watch the old ones if you like them.

Season One is kind of goofy but Season Two and on get really good.

Oh joy, thankfully that WON't be on my reading list.

I always thought Moorcock was like Tom Sharpe, you either love him or its a case of "He got paid money for writing that?"
