hi all! my name is hallie - i’m a 22-year-old living in cambridge, uk. i’m a filmmaker, juggler, archer, and being a whovian is just another hobby i’ve added to the pile over the years.
my partner introduced me to doctor who a couple of years back and i’ve been cripplingly hooked ever since. we watched all of nuwho from nov 2022 to nov 2023, my favourite doctor being the twelfth, and my favourite episodes being ‘mummy on the orient express’ and ‘the waters of mars’.
since then we have been watching classic who, but rather slowly - we’re only two seasons into hartnell thus far. but i’m loving it! my favourite serials we’ve seen so far have been ‘the sensorites’ (i know, a rare choice i think), and ‘the romans’, but due to our slow pace at getting through classic who because of work and whatnot, however, i’ve decided to embark on the long long quest of reading / listening to all of the extended media using the eyespider chronology. so if you’re interested in seeing a fairly fresh whovian exploring all of these stories for the first time then i’ll be around doing that!
Welcome to the forum @hallieday - great to have you here and to find another fan of The Sensorites (not a perfect story but definitely underrated in my opinion).
And don’t listen to people telling you I don’t like uncapitalised sentences…I’ll just quietly seethe in the corner (it’s the primary school teacher in me - I spend my day reminding 8 year olds to use them and then you all grow up and apparently decide they’re not necessary… )
i’m so excited to be getting stuck in! it’s a bit overwhelming with there being so. many. stories. but it basically means i’m set for life and i can’t wait
aha! sorry to have struck such a nerve with you all i think i just prefer the way it looks in conversational settings - although i do use capitals and all the correct grammar in my reviews and such!
I sit here responding to text messages on my phone with everything being grammatically correct and capitalized and taking twice as long to type messages out to people…
Definitely do check out the TV club (including the older threads, there’s no time limit !), it’s just started season three of classic who, so you’re on track already.
Hello Hallie!
Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here. I’m sure you’ll love working your way through the classic show. I’m so glad that new people are coming to it all the time. This is a great space, filled with lovely, welcoming people.
Welcome to our lovely little (but ever-growing) community!
I hope you’ll find your place and voice among us, as we love to have Whovians from all corners of the world and from all kinds of backgrounds here!
Feel free to hop onto any thread (or create your own) to join the conversation.
(And I hope you’re not scared away by the fact that the three Scandinavians on this forum, including myself, like to go on occasional tangents about the superiority of our region and culture; it’s all just a bit of fun. Unless you ask @deltaandthebannermen…).
Favorite is 12? Hartnell era enjoyer? Seems like you’re doing it right to me. Welcome. My Big Finish listening has also been by Eyespider, so you’re not alone there.
Welcome. We’ve got tons of discussions, clubs, polls, and games. Feel free to browse and comment anywhere you like. Don’t feel overwhelmed by some of the longer threads, if you don’t feel like reading through the entirety of some but want to add your thoughts, just scroll through to the end and comment away.
