Sure, but Tom Baker, who preceded Davison was 40 when he became the Doctor and Colin Baker, who replaced him, was 41. Methinks this makes Davison a statistical anomaly. In fact, the eleven Doctors to date average 41 years in age. The oldest doctor was the first one, white-haired William Har

Peter Davison was 29 when he took on the role, so I think it's just coincidence. :) ~ "Where love and magic meet" ~ http://www.adriannebrennan.com Experience the magic of the Dark Moon series: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/books.html#darkmoon Dare to take The Oath in this erotic fantasy series: h

It occured to me that there is a "Benjamin Button" thing going on with the good Doctor. Since 2005 he has been played by Christopher Eccleston (born in 1964), David Tennant (born in 1971) and Matt Smith (born in 1982). At this rate the next Doctor will be younger than my son (born in 1988). ~

I am now two episodes behind (it IS NBA playoff season, after all - Go Bucks!) but I adored the "raggedy Doctor" subtext of the first episode. The last shot of all the "Doctor" dolls the once and future companion had fashioned over the years was a lovely nod to Who fans (one of the dolls bore a

I'm enjoying the low-tech way they're going about creating the monsters, more like old-school DW. It's what you CAN'T see that scares you the most. On Sat, May 1, 2010 at 2:37 PM, Kelwyn wrote: > > > I was prepared to hate the new Doctor - but I didn't. I like the way they > introduced him and h

I was prepared to hate the new Doctor - but I didn't. I like the way they introduced him and his new companion. I like the way he didn't know how to properly use his "stuff" at first. I also like the idea (an oldie but a goodie) about bad things living in that blind spot that you can only s
