Your First Doctor Holds a Special Place in Your Heart(s) There's something sentimental about Doctor Who. You've got this avuncular character, albeit more fun than any real uncle, who gathers up curious young folks and takes them along with him as he dimension hops through the universe. Most of us started watching it as a kid or a teen. We could relate to the companions and dreamed of getting away from our daily tedium. The Doctor became our access to this other world where we could escape; we loved his mannerisms and eccentricities. And then he regenerated. You remember the first time you saw it happen. You felt -- betrayed. That wasn't YOUR Doctor anymore. It was somebody else with a new look and new idiosyncrasies. That's not right; bring back my Doctor, dammit. You kept telling yourself, "He'll be back. This is all some sort of mistake, right? We'll all wake up from this dream-sequence in the next episode... or maybe the one after that... right....?" A lot of Doctor Who fans are sentimental over THEIR Doctor -- the Doctor they grew up watching. An informal poll here reveals that Tom Baker, Peter Davison and Christopher Eccleston carry the day in our office, which makes a lot of sense considering the average age of our office monkeys and the timespan in which our PBS stations aired the newest Doctor Who episodes. For 60% of us, our first doctor is our favorite. The other 40% are heathens. We've printed this shirt for those of you who have a special affection for your first Doctor, whether you remember the show being pre-empted by Kennedy's assassination or you discovered the 10th Doctor last week on BBC America. Our 100% cotton black shirt features the phrase "You Never Forget Your First Doctor" under a picture of the TARDIS with a white starburst behind it.

Ah, Doctor Who... well, if you've seen the Doctor, you'll know who he is: Always strangely charismatic, even if he's a total grump, someone who draws strange people to him without even trying. Sometimes he seems carefree, sometimes he's angry--but always, always without a name-- just "The Doctor", a two-hearted, human-faced alien traveling endlessly through time and space... With the resurrection of this long-running series by BBC, a new generation of Doctor Who fans has come to life (and, needless to say, I'm one of them!)
Sad but true, I heart Dr. Who. Stupid husband gets me hooked on this stupid show...it doesn't even make sense! And the whole thing with Rose is just....Ahhhh! This is it though! I refuse to watch one more episode of Torchwood! My brain will never be clean again Sean, thanks a lot!

One for my husband, who's been a Who fan for years, one for me because I like Tennant.

It's true. Ten is actually sort of my first Doctor, thanks to LJ icons. Trufax. And I love Nine, but there's just something about Ten...
