30 Days of Summer Time Doctor Who

Day 01: Who was your first Doctor?

My first Doctor was Ten!

I had been watching Sherlock at the suggestion of my friend, who was and has been for quite some time, a huge Whovian. I never really cared to try it, but I heard that the current series (with Eleven, I would learn soon after) was being written by the same minds that created and wrote BBC Sherlock, so upon seeing Doctor Who on the guide one day, I gave it a shot. I turned on the TV right at the end of “The Unicorn and the Wasp”, and was so horrified by the cheesy giant wasp I almost changed it!

However, I decided to give a full episode a shot, and was rewarded with “Silence in the Library”. Obviously ending on a cliffhanger, I decided I NEEDED the next episode, but it wasn’t going to be on for another month or so, with their wonky schedule. I was too hooked to let it go. but I also hate watching things out of order. So helllooooo, starting the whole series from the start. (Well NewWho, anyway!) And was pretty confused at the different actor, but eventually got back around to my “first” Doctor AND eventually “Forest of the Dead”. My dad even came in and asked me what I was watching at some point, which led to his surprise, and exclamation that he used to watch Doctor Who in the 70’s! (Which got me into classic Who and I bought the movie at a close out and just… it goes on and on. )

So even though he’s not My Doctor anymore, Ten will always hold a high place on my list, and will always be my first!
