- First TV story you saw: Technically, I don’t know because I wasn’t a DW fan at the time. It was an episode involving Clara and there was a scene of her and someone else walking through a hallway at Coal Hill. I don’t know anything else about it.
- First novelisation you read: Players with Six and Peri. Not a bad start!
- First audio you heard: Either Whispers of Terror or the Marian Conspiracy. At the time I thought WoT was fantastic and TMC terrible, now I think the former is “fine” and the latter “good”.
- First VHS/DVD/Blu-ray: The only one I have is the blu-ray of S22 that I can’t watch because I don’t have a suitable player. I’m not into collecting those.
- First issue of DWM you bought: I don’t buy these
- First actor from a con you met: In general, meeting celebrities doesn’t hold any appeal to me as I don’t get starstruck and I don’t know who most of them are (or, if I do know their filmography, I don’t necessarily care to meet them). I’ve gone to many (non-DW) cons and that was always low on my list of reasons to attend. That being said, I have met Colin Baker, like apparently most everyone else here lol. I could have met others, but I only wanted to meet him and Nicola.
- First cosplay you bought/made: I’ve never cosplayed anything for DW. Anime and Star Trek? Yes. But I’m not into cosplay anymore.

First TV Story: Robot
First Novelization: Oh that was a long time ago, I think a Hartnell missing one like Master Plan, Toymaker, or Tenth Planet
First Audio: Again, memory hazy, but I think the first range my dad and I got was Lost Stories, so I think it was one of the 6/Peri abandoned S23 ones.
First TV physical media: Really not sure, we’ve basically always had all of them we could in either official releases or taped/DVRed, so it could be anything.
First issue of DWM: we got them for a while until they stopped taking the card to ship them over. The first one we have is from around Impossible Astronaut.
First con: 2019 L.I. Who’s “An Unearthly Convention”. It would have been Regeneration Who 5, but it was cancelled by the organizers. I believe we had to go through the credit card company to get our money back.
First actor from the show I met: Well, it was at the above con. So it was Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Frazer Hines, Katy Manning, Louise Jameson, John Leeson, or Daphne Ashbrook. Met them all at their meet and greet event, but I couldn’t tell you who I met first.
First cosplay: 11 when I was a freshman in high school. Parts of that very cosplay are still in my current one. But I also have a 12 and a 7.
