(I really have to get a DW icon!) - Doctor Who Meme.
Really, I have no freakin' idea who sent me this. It just happened to land in my not-so-full inbox and I wanted to do it so;
1. When did you start watching?
2005, series one - well technically like 30 or 26 or something, but NuWho here! Okay, a bit of a lie. I think I half grew up with it. My Dad would play old episodes and I'd sit there scared, hiding behind the sofa watching the enigmatic Tom Baker with his insane scarf, but that was when I was four, and by the time I was seven, Busted and McFLY had taken over.
1a. Why?
Well, actually *confesses* at first I hated Doctor Who. Weelll... not really. As above, I used to watch the oldies and I thought the New ones would be terrible compared to my lovely Romana-eps and etc. But my whole family sat down to watch "Rose" and I did too. About three minutes in, I was already in love with Rose and the brilliant Christopher Eccleston - (I cried when he regenerated).
2. What was your first episode?
Oh, God. I cannot, for the life of me, remember the OldWho ep I watched first. But it was "Rose" otherwise.
3. Which episodes have you seen?
Uh, all of 'em. Well, NuWho and some Oldies. (Mainly Four).
3a. Favourite?
Evil! Okay, weelll... Steven Moffat's episodes are always wonderfully scary, so all of his, Doomsday, The End of the World, The Family of Blood/Human Nature, Utopia/The Sound of Drums/The Last of the Time Lords, VotD - all of 'em, but my all-time favourite is Father's Day. Makes me cry every time.
4. Are your friends/family interested in the show?
Well, in my primary school, I was thoroughly deprived of any Who-fans. There were a few casual-viewers, but no total obsessers/squeers/fan-girls/boys like me. Where I am now is a smidge better, but Torchwood is sadly more popular.
5. Which Doctor is your favourite?
Four ... Ten ... Nine ... Four ... Ten ... Nine! Oh, don't ask me. *tears hair out*
6. Which Doctor is your least favourite?
Seven. Defo.

4. Have you been to any Doctor Who conventions?
Two. One, when I was about four or something up in Dunfermline. The old TARDIS was there and Tom Baker's scarf, also a Dalek. Verrry cool. Two, when I was about 11 in Brighton for a S1 convention on the pier. V. cool.
