  1. Although I've always considered Tom Baker "my" Doctor Who, I've grown very fond of Sylvester McCoy, the seventh doctor, in recent years. His nemesis, the Rani, is my favorite Whovian villain and his companion Mel reminds me of a friend of my youth, Beth Kibler. #doctorwho #doctorwhoepisodes #classictv #classictelevision #scifi #sciencefiction #classicsciencefiction #classicscifi #vintagesciencefiction #vintagescifi #sylvestermccoy #tombaker #britishtv #britishtelevision #englishtv

  6. As a boy, I learned to draw the TARDIS from illustrations in the Doctor Who Annuals from the Patrick Troughton era. My TARDISes always had those ‘stabiliser’ blocks on the front and the wrong number of windows on the side. It was only many years later, when I saw the publicity photos of Jackie Lane posing beside the hastily constructed stand-in TARDIS prop, that I realised where those bloomin’ stabilisers had come from. 🙂

  11. Even as a kid, some things just looked wrong. Case in point: this TARDIS Commander badge. It was originally merchandise for the 1972 BBC TV Visual Effects exhibition at the Science Museum in London, but they must have had plenty left over, because they were still available to buy at the Doctor Who exhibition in Blackpool a couple of years later.

  16. I hate it when my page starts looking like an obituary column, but I'm very sorry to hear that Jill Curzon has passed away. Fans of the Peter Cushing Dalek movies will remember her as Louise in Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.

    R.I.P.

  17. ALTHEA
    Look, why don't you let me tell
    the Captain that you didn't mean
    what you said and that you
    won't mention it again.

    TONY
    I can't promise that, Althea. Not
    when I know what's going to happen.

    ALTHEA
    You don't know! Nobody knows. You can't!

    Many happy returns to Susan Hampshire, Althea Hall in the pilot episode of The Time Tunnel, "Rendezvous with Yesterday".

    Sulu and Leela. Oh my, what a multidimensional adventure that would be!

  28. @IanAMartin LOL, yes.

    I’ve heard the spaceship referred to as both Icarus and Liberty 1, though neither name is actually used in the film itself. Icarus seems to be a fan invention, while Liberty 1 turned up in a special feature on the 2008 Blu-ray box set.

    Liberty 1 has a certain irony given the film’s ending, but I can just as easily imagine the ever-cynical Taylor nicknaming his ship Icarus.

  29. I’m always posting anniversaries and birthdays, but some are a little more special to me than others. Case in point…

    Happy 81st birthday to Heather Young, aka ‘Spindrift’ stewardess Betty Hamilton from Land of the Giants — one of my earliest crushes.

  33. A nice find while out toy hunting yesterday. Rather appropriate, too, as it coincided with Leonard Nimoy’s birthday.

    The Three Spocktors.

  38. I can’t let the day end without remembering Leonard Nimoy on what would have been his 95th birthday.

    Actually, it’s been a bit of a Spocky day today, but it’s late, I’m old and I’m tired, so I’ll tell you about it tomorrow (it’s nothing exciting – don’t let it keep you awake). But, yeah… a little bit Spocky-wocky.
