Day 30 – Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
Day 29 – Who You Think Should Be the Next Doctor
Lol, not really. But that would be awesome.
Day 28 – An Episode Idea You Created Yourself
Haven’t we all, at one point or another, thought up that episode where the Doctor of your choice comes along and takes you for a trip around time and space? :)
Day 27 – An Episode You Wish Hadn’t Been Made
Hadn’t been made? Dude naw. However dull or whatever some stories can be, one of the best things about Doctor Who is that there’s so much of it.
Day 26 – Favorite Who Actress
Elisabeth Sladen would be my first choice here, but I haven’t seen her - or any of the other classic Who actresses - in non-Who related things. So I’m going with an Unsung Extra - Sue Bishop.
I can’t find much at all about her on Google, and her IMDb page only lists roles up to 1982. She’s in so many Are You Being Served? episodes as a salesgirl, just milling away in the background, but she only ever had one speaking bit on that show, in “Anything You Can Do” (watch it here). She also shows up at times - and gets an onscreen credit - in “The Brain of Morbius,” as one of the Sisters of Karn. (I think that’s her in the screencap above - it’s kinda hard to tell with all that makeup!)
I think it’s neat that Sue Bishop was kinda quietly popping up on TV every once in a while in the 1970s, appearing on everything from The Benny Hill Show in 1970 to Blake’s 7 later that decade (thanks, IMDb!). A random choice for fave Who actress? Yeah, probably. But without extras, groups like the Sisterhood of Karn would look a lot less formidable. Imagine if it were just the wrinkly one and Ohica! Not powerful at all.
Day 25 – Favorite Who Actor
Because he’s great as Captain Redbeard Rum in Blackadder - and he’s Tom Baker, and is therefore my favorite Who actor.
Day 24 – Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
This caption from Tom Baker’s autobiography amuses me for some reason.
Day 23 – A Who-Related YouTube Video
Found this as a .avi file on DC++ years ago, and it still cracks me up. :)
