WHO


Who's YOUR Doctor Who?

I've watched Doctor Who material featuring all 11 regenerations. From Hartnell to Smith, Doctor Who is a show I enjoy whoever is driving the TARDIS.

If I had to pick a favourite, the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) would easily be that choice.

Why: The 4th Doctor has been visually the longest serving on the show and in my view cemented as the most iconic of the bunch. This Doctor also been accompanied by some of the most memorable travelling companions. Like with the other Doctors the dress sense only this time featuring a long overcoat and a stupendously long scarf.

Highlighted adventures/moments include: Genesis of the Daleks, The Key to Time saga, Brain of Morbius and Robot.

Fancy a Jelly Baby? :D

COSPLAY


Doctor Wholiday’s Bible Club, Blog #3: Enter The Tardis-Former!

Wednesday’s instalment of Doctor Wholiday’s Bible Club featured a fancy dress contest. The Dressed up cast of characters included: A White Power Ranger (SPD/DekaRanger version), Darth Vader without a helmet, Sky, Stars, Dalek Sect, The 10th Doctor, K 4 ½ (a puppy version of K-9), Martha Jones, A Spaceman, Spiderman, and various other alien species.

A special mention goes to my favourite costume which was a young lad dressed as a Tardis. He looked like a Transformer with his head, arms and legs sticking out each end. I christened the boy Tardis-Former! I helped Tardis-Former walk around the catwalk runway to model his gear to everyone as I tried to keep his Tardis light (which was a hat) from falling off his head.

As I helped Tardis Former out of his box, he brandished quite proudly a Transformers: Animated shirt. As he didn’t win a prize, I am sure I can whip up something special for tomorrow. That kid has good taste!

A Transforming Tardis! What a great concept!

George the Dalek came along later and claimed 3 more human victims. The gunge today looked more solid than usual. Perhaps they are mixing up a stronger batch down in the lab.

Towards the end, photo opportunities came along and the queue to have a picture taken with either Doctor Wholiday, George, or a Cyberman (or any combination of either) was packed but orderly. I got a snapshot done with The Dalek about to zap me with his egg-whisk gun.

Doctor Wholiday also gave out Jelly Babies in true 4th Doctor homage fashion! Awesome!

Wednesday was all in all another fun-packed day. Roll on tomorrow.
