Personal Quote:

I'm old enough to remember the very first episode of Doctor Who ever. I was very scared, I was quite young. They went back to the dawn of man as I remember it, to caveman and Neanderthals. And as it landed, that was the end of the episode. And I remember ... the first time the TV scared me. Patrick Troughton was my favourite 'cos he brought that sense of humour to it. See more »
