Hello everybody. I'm a newbie. Just got into Doctor Who about a month or so ago and just finished watching the new Series 4th season. I also just took my first step into Classic Who, watching the very beginning. Just finished the set of episodes "The Daleks". This show has just kind of taken hold of me and I love it. My favorite companion so far has been Martha Jones. Favorite episodes so far have been "Blink", "Midnight", "Doomsday", "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances" and I really enjoyed "42". Probably more then I should have.

Greetings Great Briton! I think we already know each other, sort of, kind of, in that online know-y way that happens. Er...
I also like "42" probably more than I should for, er... reasons. It does has a nice plot though doesn't it? The whole having to answer half remembered secret questions certain rings true from the whole digital experience that I'm sure everyone has had: whoops! lost my password... now what is the answer to my retrieval question, and was it capitalized or not?!??
Anyway, welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy browsing around!

Greetings greatbriton, and welcome to the site! feel free to wander about, we've loverly members feel free to ask them anything, seriously, anything, I got Clocket to iron cotton candy once. Anyway, I have many, many, many favourite Doctors, with Four, Five, Seven and Ten being really the bestest, but I adore Two and Three is fast growing on me (rather like a fungus) and Six I like by default and JJ's eight is my FAVOURITE period. And, oh well, like lay's...never mind, scratch that, not enough coffee yet, what I meant was they are all the same bloke, no need to split hairs. Personally, I rather hate 42, just by the way

Hello and welcome to the board! Have fun exploring the show, it's definitely taken over my brain. Did you make your icon/banner? I really like them.

Indeed, welcome to the boards! I hope you find this as welcoming and entertaining a place as I do. They're a friendly bunch; lot of Three-lovers among them, but don't hold that against them. ;D I incline towards oldschool Who myself, with Seven top of the heap for me, but NuWho has its charms; I agree with _most_ of the episodes on your list. It's always good to see people getting into the old series through the new one. Anyway, hope you enjoy yourself here - I'm sure that you will.

Many many welcomes, Great Briton - if the good Doctor has succeeded in moving into your brain, then you are in good company. Welcome to the family - we're pleased to share your madness with you. I'm a One-Two-Three fan for the most part, with Four, Five and Seven added to the pile and all the rest following, but we have all sorts here and it's all Good.

GreatBriton, This has been troubling me terribly since rereading my post yesterday, I am sorry if my comment toward 42 seemed mean or rude toward you, I meant no offense at all. Ask about, I'm "Mostly Harmless", and certainly meant you no insult.

I took no offense at all. You're allowed to love/hate any episodes you like and I didn't read it as being rude. I've heard a few people mention that they really did not like that episode but I can't help but love it, myself.

It should also be noted that many episodes I "dislike" I don't actually "dislike" so much as I like them less than others. Bits from 42 are wonderful,calling to see whether elvis or the beatles had more number ones and such, that I like, the lurching zombiefied sun possessed timelord screaming "burn with me" not as much. At any rate, I'm glad I didn't offend you, I was terribly worried it had seemed rude. Can't wait to see you out and about the site.

Welcome to the forum, GreatBriton! I really like your banner and avatar, and I approve of your episode choice as well.
42 has started to take on new significance lately, when at work so many people call in going "boo hoo I forgot my security question, use your magic powers to tell it to me". Never design a security question you won't remember in the future, especially not if you're drunk!

Hello, Greatbriton! I figured I'd make an official-like introduction on your thread. I'm the admin, who hasn't been seen here lately, but shall hopefully return for good now that Life has decided to calm down a bit. (I just realised, I might actually be one of those people that have, you know, those life things.)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here! And I must commend you on the cleverness of your username! ^^
