Great video Guys loved hearing all about your Doctor Who memories, for me it was the 1992 repeats that cemented my obsession with the show starting with The Mind Robber and Then the Daemons it was on every Friday @ 7pm on BBC 2 Stingray was usually on 1st then DR WHO, shortly after that my local Xtra-Vision Videoshop got in a selection of stories including The Five Doctors, Castrovalva ,Earthshock , The claws of Axos and The Time Warrior ,which I rented out continually literally wearing out the tapes LOL . It was Just after Dimensions In Time & More than 30 years in the Tardis aired that my mam took me to virgin megastore where they had a massive collection at the time and I started collecting my own Doctor who videos ,The 1st being one that was shown during the repeats on BBC 2 the box set of Genesis of the daleks/ The Sontaran Experiment & The Twin Dilemma I wanted Dragonfire as well but I was only allowed to buy 2 LOL. However I did return very soon after to buy the last copy of it in HMV :-) Kept collecting the videos from then on until they were all released by 2003. Have great memories of collecting them all coming home on the train reading the back of the VHS box and watching them for the 1st time usually as soon as I got home 🙂
What would be a nice little scene in the 60th. Wilf in a care home is enthusiastically talking to someone about the Doctor, what he's seen, what his family has seen. Camera slowly pans over to who he's talking to, Ian Chesterton.
Tooth and Claw was my first episode! Doctor Who was recommended by a friend to myself and my older brother. We watched it on the TV in our parents’ bedroom, tucked up into bed. It absolutely terrified me and I’ve been a fan ever since.
51:10 - The leaked copy of Rose came out about a week and a half before being broadcast. I waited all night for it to download and ended up going to be bed really late as I watched it twice.
Another great show, so many points raised that I was nodding my head at! I am thrilled to have been mentioned in the show, yes, Asda was my Dapol toy go to store, and source of VHS Doctor Who for many years. Bizarre looking back now!! Keep up the good work guys 😁😁😁
Hands down this has been my most favourite episode of RoD. I can’t remember the last time I smiled so much. It felt so good to hear and see how everyone got into this wonderful show. When I was growing up it was just me and my sister who were into it. I couldn’t talk to anyone at school about it as it wasn’t seen as being cool. To give some perspective, I was born in 1981 so when I started watching it Sylvester was the Doctor. My first VHS was that was bought for me was Spearhead and I instantly fell in love with Jon. He was my Doctor. Fave stories of his are obv Spearhead, Inferno, Terror of Autons, Daemons, Three Doctors, Sea Devils, Day and Death of the Daleks, Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Planet of the Spiders. I got to see him on stage in Glasgow at The Ultimate Adventure which was fantastic. Buying more VHS was a treat finding them in my local What Everyone Wants and Woolworths. Plus my dad worked alongside someone who had all the released VHS at the time. He gave my dad a list of them all and i got to choose a new one to be copied for me once a fortnight. Helped me get to see some stories I’d never seen or heard of before. Then came the UK Gold omnibuses that my grandparents taped for me as we didn’t have sky at that time. I also had the first Peter Cushing film on VHS and there is a home video from my sisters first communion at home, where me and my uncle watched Invasion of Earth as it was on channel 4. I could go on, but I’d be here all day 😊
Started watching in 2003/2004. Had the videos and early dvd’s. Remember it coming back but not truly understanding it was the same show. Loved it regardless.
One detail to my story about the first time I watched the Looney Tunes film, I was in the hospital having my tonsils removed. The room I was in had a VHS of it but no one rewound it so when we put it in it started with the scene where the aliens (and Daleks) break free. It scared me to death, didn’t watch it for a while after that, but I never forgot.
Hugely enjoyable chat with the Toffs and Ellie! Realy enjoyed hearing everyone's stories of how they got bit the bug, childhood and family memories, evoking the strangeness of being a Dr Who fan during the 'wilderness years' of UK Gold repeats and the show slowly returning to public consciousness at the turn of the century with Dr Who Night and Fatal Death!
Brilliant episode, it's always so interesting to hear how some one got into doctor who. For me I vividly remember seeing repeats of the 10th doctor animations from around 2008 being repeated on a rainy Saturday morning on CBBC for around the time of the 50th anniversary as well (as like it seems a lot of people do) watching the Peter Cushing movies before even seeing the original stories they were based on. I also found it funny how you were saying family members come up with their own titles for doctor who episodes to remember them and for me my mum called school reunion 'the chips episode'😂. Can't wait for the next episode.
Love these stories of how people became fans of who, I was around 3 when Rose aired and have been watching regularly ever since. I subscribed to the official doctor who dvd files which then introduced me to classic who, with the 5 doctors.
I have a kind of similar experience with doctor who, despite growing up in New Zealand in the 2000s/2010s. especially when I was younger during RTD1, there weren't many people I knew who watched it so whenever there was an advert or a doctor who appeared on another show that would always be very exciting to me. The first episode I can remember watching on broadcast, was The Runaway Bride when I was 4 and have been a fan ever since. But my mum would always tell me this story from when I was a baby - around the time of the 40th, the ABC in Australia would repeat the classics. And when the theme tune came on, I quite liked it. I didn't like lullabies but that was the one song I liked. So in a way, like you Matt, it's always been there :)
I think Yasmin is a companion, cuz Ncuti in his stories on insta, said ( accidental or not), that he is excited to work with her. So Rose (temple noble) will be beyond the specials for sure.
I was 10 when Doctor Who came back, I think my first episode was the end of the world. My first classic story was either Earthshock or the Three Doctors (recorded off UKTV GOLD!). Here's something you may find interesting: In year 6 we did a 60s week at my school (There were a handful of us, I think the rest of the school went off somewhere) and as part of it the teacher came up with a segment called "Doctor Who or Doctor No" and we had to produce a mini movie/episode of something either Doctor Who or James Bond related... Naturally I was the Doctor. I wish I could see the tape again, but it was essentially me in a maths cupboard with a colourful jacket on, and a card board box for the TARDIS console. Running around the school after a monster someone made of paper on their face (Quite authentic now I think about it), I think I practically controlled every aspect of it, I had a monster in the PE cupboard, some random person playing Barbara and Susan in one of the classrooms, I really committed. I even regenerated at the end! - As part of it I managed to achieve my ultimate dream at the time which was to watch Doctor Who in school! So I managed to get a whole class of students to watch the original pilot for an unearthly child, I'll never forget it, it even earnt me house points!
I *think* the omnibus on UK Gold was on a Saturday and repeated on a Sunday?? someone in this thread might be able to remind me - it was a long time ago now!
Caught it when it was on netflix in the US in 2011. I think I was in the hospital at the time (don’t remember why) and I watched the first series of the revival on an Ereader/ Ipad thing Only made it a few episodes into series 2 before I kinda forgot about it. During the pandemic when it came on hbo max I started it again out of curiosity, finished it and have been hooked ever since. DW didn’t exactly have the cultural cache in America (until Matt Smith) to stand out over the shows on like Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network so I didn’t exactly grow up watching or anything like that… Wish I had though lmao
Here in the USA, public broadcasting used to play Tom Baker episodes when they were doing a pledge drive. If you donated $100 you would get a disappearing tardis coffee mug, lol. So the first episode I clearly remember catching was arc in space. So then a few weeks later when they were doing it again I remember watching, and they played the daemons. I was probably six or seven and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why they were calling this other guy the doctor. What happened to the guy in the scarf?
I became a doctor who fan when I was around 4 after being in Blackpool for the illuminations, and walking past the exhibition. I remember watching the first scene of rose when the doctor introduces himself. We went into the shop and I remember seeing the product enterprise Cybermen and asking my mum if I could have one, she said no as she thought I wouldn’t stick with it, little did she know the following summer on my holiday I got a 12” RC Dalek just before character started making the figures! Been a loyal fan ever since
I always feel a little like a fake fan because I’m American and I didn’t find out about doctor who until I was old enough to use a computer by myself. I was about ten when I watched my first episode of doctor who and this was about 2013. It was raining outside so we had “inside recess” and we got the choice between going to one teachers room to watch a show or the others to play monopoly. I chose to watch a show and the teacher played silence in the library and I was immediately captivated. I went home and my babysitter was actually a really big fan of the show and explained about regeneration and we ended up watching it together every evening after I was done with my homework. As most of y’all know this was a big year for doctor who cause of the 50th and she ended up taking me to our local Comic-Con, which I got into for free because I was so young, and we watched a screening of the day of the doctor. I’ve been a huge fan ever since and I’ve watched both the classic and the new series but I still can’t help but feel like a bit of a faker because I got introduced to when I was an older kid but then again my parents didn’t even know what the show was until I started watching the show a lot so I didn’t really have any opportunities to watch it before then. Thinking back on it I have been a fan for a while, I’m nearly 20 now and have been watching since I was 10. Anyways it’s been a really big part of my life. Edit: I went to that screening as little Amy Pond and unfortunately I don’t have pictures anymore because they’re all on my old babysitters phone❤️
Fantastic video😁 my first episode was The Long Game aged 5ish. Think my Dad put it on when he saw the show was back. Not sure how I was gripped by that one😂Picked it up properly with the BBC 3 repeats of series 2 then series 3 was the first series I watched as it came out.
I first encountered the show through the first cushing movie, which we'd recorded off channel 4 back in the late 90s, I think I assumed that was all there was to it, although I remember seeing the second film listed in the tv paper at one point and wanting to check it out, but I never did, I didn't see it until I got the dvd set of both films in 2008, by which point I was well absorbed into the world of doctor who. I heard the show was coming back when it was announced in 2004, and I remember thinking "that must be something to do with that film, I liked it, maybe I'd like that too", and my mum was quite insistent that I wouldn't, either way I kind of put it out of my head for a bit. Then a few weeks before the show came back in 2005, the bbc showed a rerun of a documentary from a few years earlier, called "The Story of Doctor Who" I caught it from pretty early on while channel hopping and it really gripped me, it went through pretty much the entire history of the classic series, and it all was so fascinating to me, I got super hooked on trying to find out more about these characters and stories, and I was instantly on board for watching the new series when it started. It didn't mention the TV movie, though, interestingly so I didn't learn McGann existed until a while later, I assumed S1 was going to open with Mccoy regenerating into Eccleston. But yeah, started watching with S1, but it was the classic stuff that really caught my imagination, just before new who started, I like to think I was probably the very last fan to be caught by classic who before the revival came in.
New Who: watched chronologically as it’s been broadcast. Classic Who: watched backwards! Started with McCoy and ended with Hartnell. Binged the entire classic series between series 7 and series 8 of new who. However, I watched the five doctors and the movie religiously as a kid
Scream of the Shalka was definitely 2003. I know that because I was born the morning part 3 came out. It’s my twin meaning it is undoubtedly the greatest Doctor Who ever!! Change my mind.
I remember clearly how I got into Doctor Who, I was five years old and my family were channel hopping, the Tardis appeared on screen. The tv is flipped over to the next channel but my dad goes hold on I recognised that. The rest is history I suppose
I remember back in 2009 I stayed up late because my parents were watching The Waters of Mars when it first came out. I was about 7 or 8 back then so the Flood creatures scared the shit out of me and I promised myself I'd never watch Doctor Who again. Fast forward to the Matt Smith years I basically jumped on sometime in Series 6 and I've been a fan ever since
I hope they can reinvigorate interest in Jodie Whittaker’s regeneration episode. To hear some people, it’s like a formality standing in the way rather than the potential for a grand send off.
I really like it when you have three hosts on. When it's just Matt and Billy it's still really good, as I think you both balance each other out in a good way and it makes for a dynamic that's interesting to listen to. But when you have had three people on, with Jonathan or with Ellie, I think it breaks it up the discussion a bit better and it's not always just a back and forth. Probably not feasible or a good idea to have a guest all the time, but maybe you could have guests on more often? I like it anyway. Although, I wonder if you could go back to sitting across from each other you had in the first 6/7 episodes? Seemed like that was a more comfortable set up since you are facing the person you are talking to. Maybe it doesn't make a difference, but my thinking is that it's easier to talk to someone you are directly facing and that might be good for when you've got 3 people on and you aren't leaning around to see each other. Fair enough if that was more difficult to set up and film and edit though or doesn't make that much difference in the end, I don't know anything about producing a podcast.
I collect props, pieces of set and costume pieces used in TV and film productions. I have many production used and screen used Doctor Who items. Would you like to film with them?
I love Death to the Daleks! In 1985 a couple of weeks after Revelation of the Daleks aired, Dr.Who and the Daleks was shown on BBC1 on Saturday morning and it cemented my love for Daleks and Police Boxes! with Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150AD the following Saturday. 1997 August - The Armageddon Factor was due to be broadcast on UK Gold and I'd been looking forward to finally seeing all of season 16 - but Princess Diana died (Princess Astra issue) so they showed Planet of the Spiders instead - that annoyed me😎

Awesome podcast! Had a bit of a shock when you suddenly mentioned Asda in Longwell Green! I only live 0.4 miles from it 😂
The sequel to the Wilderness Years video we've been waiting for. Great video, love it when you all reminicse to the good old days
Another great show, so many points raised that I was nodding my head at! I am thrilled to have been mentioned in the show, yes, Asda was my Dapol toy go to store, and source of VHS Doctor Who for many years. Bizarre looking back now!! Keep up the good work guys 😁😁😁

My prediction: Jodie's final words are.... "I don't wanna go." BAM, then she becomes the Tenth Doctor again. LOL.
Hmm, I think that would be kinda sad for Jodie, for that to be her last words, jsit copying Tennant.
and when David becomes Ncuti Doctor, his final words are '' I ready to go'' BAM

How'd you manage to find a copy of the who years?? Been wanting to rewatch them for years!

Also, because I’m a sad git seem to recall Doomsday Set was ten in 3D glasses, Dalek Sec and a Cyberman or maybe cyber leader.

missed when Doctor Who in full was allowed

Don’t diss ASDA Bedminster. That’s my local.

I’ve mentioned it elsewhere but I really don’t want Jodie to regenerate into Tennant. Please don’t do that.
I don’t either, People seem really excited for that so good on them I guess …
I hope they can reinvigorate interest in Jodie Whittaker’s regeneration episode. To hear some people, it’s like a formality standing in the way rather than the potential for a grand send off.

I love Death to the Daleks!
In 1985 a couple of weeks after Revelation of the Daleks aired, Dr.Who and the Daleks was shown on BBC1 on Saturday morning and it cemented my love for Daleks and Police Boxes! with Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150AD the following Saturday.
1997 August - The Armageddon Factor was due to be broadcast on UK Gold and I'd been looking forward to finally seeing all of season 16 - but Princess Diana died (Princess Astra issue) so they showed Planet of the Spiders instead - that annoyed me😎
