Factual Friday...

Okay, okay, it's a day late. But what'ya gonna do? Today's theme is, of course...Doctor Who. What? You thought I was going to say Easter? Okay, okay, I'll do an Easter one tomorrow.
  1. The first episode was shown on November 23rd, 1963
  2. It originally ran for 26 seasons before it was dropped.
  3. The reason why the TARDIS is stuck as a police box is because the chameleon circuit is broken. Donna Noble, in the episode Journey's End, revealed that the circuit can be fixed (by hotwiring the fragment links with the binary...)
  4. The TARDIS's windows are actually the wrong size for a police box. This is mentioned in the episode Blink.
  5. The Doctor is approximately 906 years old.
  6. The Daleks were introduced in December 1963
  7. The Doctor and his companions were 'responsible' for a lot of works of literature. Donna Noble gave Agatha Christie the idea for Miss Marple and Murder on the Orient Express, and the Doctor gave Shakespeare the name of a (never seen) character in The Tempest, Sycorax, as well as famous lines of his works such as 'The play's a thing'.

It is less than seven hours now until the big moment!

    I really hope that the first episode of the new Dr Who series really lived up to your expectations!

    I don't know what it was, but there was some major compensation somewhere that made up for that Frankenstein head of Mr Smith's. Hmmm that's q a mean thing to say. I like it :)
