Hello, Happy Doctor Who Day!
I’ve been here a week or so already, bumbling around and getting lost a lot, but I think I am getting the hang of it now.
I’m a Whovian since Oct 2023 when I belatedly started the New Who TV series on a whim and was instantly hooked. I didn’t watch much as a child because Tom Baker should have been ‘my’ Doctor, but he terrified me! Now in my late forties, I’m catching up with everything I missed and wishing I hadn’t left it so long!
Welcome! Hope you have fun here!
Oooh, a very fresh fan! Welcome to the forum and our lovely community!
And happy Doctor Who Day!
Welcome. It will be fun to hear your thoughts when you are catching up on everything 
Thank you, pleased to meet you!
Thank you 
I’m celebrating the Day by watching The Three Doctors for the first time. It’s wonderfully gaudy
I’m looking forward to joining in the watch and read clubs soon.
Welcome! It’s good to have you here!
Thank you, happy to be on board
Hey, welcome to the forums, it’s great to have you here!!
Pleased to join I love feeling at home here already
Heyhey, lovely that you still got to discover this great show.
My mom also says that Tom Baker creeps her out xD
That’s reassuring to know that it isn’t just me! Tom Baker is so many people’s favourite that I always feel a bit bad having deliberately avoided watching his Doctor.
I’m working through the Jon Pertwee classic era on iPlayer at the moment and getting closer to the Tom Baker years. It will be interesting to see if nearly-fifty year old me is braver than five year old me was 
Welcome!!
Tom Baker is a bit scary isn’t he? For me it’s how tall and loud he is, plus some of the faces he pulls. I remember being a bit freaked out by him when it was on TV when I was younger (reruns), and I never watched it.
Did you start from Rose? Where are you up to now?
Why hello and welcome to the forum 
The Fourth Doctor can be a bit much at times, but his era just has so, so many fantastic stories!
Hi Shauny 
I started at Rose just over a year ago and completely binged from Nine through Fourteen, with a rerun through Twelve because he’s my favourite (so far … !)
I’m up to date with Fifteen and looking forward to the new shows coming soon.
Plus I’m watching my way through the Classic era and I just enjoyed the first of Season Ten, I think, The Three Doctors, today. It took a bit of readjustment to enjoy the older programmes because of their slower pace and, especially in the Hartnell era, I had more of a feeling of watching live theatre than television. Some great stories though. Planet Of Giants is a favourite and I loved The War Games as well.
Welcome! Hope you’ll enjoy your stay here!
Hello there 
I’m going to be brave this time around!! Four is such an icon and, you’re right, lots of the best loved stories are part of his era.
I understand that the Zygons story has just been pulled from iPlayer though. A copyright issue, apparently. I’m a bit disappointed to have not got there quickly enough to have watched it.
Thank you 
It’s lovely here and I am sure I will
There’s always the DVD option
And “Terror of the Zygons” is definitely worth getting the DVD for IMO
