This week, BBC America released new key art and a preview for the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special, Doctor Who: The Return of Doctor Mysterio. I had a huge smile on my face the entire 45 minutes, and if I had to guess, this show is going to capture the fancy of a lot of young ones, and even though Doctor Who was always my best friend, I'm ready to share him with the people who he was made for in the first place.Christmas has arrived early for Doctor Who fans.
I feel the show succeeds in the latter department. The former obsessive fan with the critical eye, and the adult who wanted to be whisked away by Pan again. Having said that, I watched "Rose" with two hats. A passing interest in Sylv and Sophie was there, but ultimately, Puff the magic dragon let out a mighty roar because this Jackie Paper had grown up. Real life takes a hold, and while Perpugilliam Brown was amazing to stare at, it became a lot more important to go talk to a girl in person on a Saturday night than stay home by the time 16 years old came around. Anyone who met Doctor Who at such an early age will agree with me that the magic was that vivid and so real that you felt you were right there side by side with those characters. It was like Peter Pan taking you to Neverland. I was transported to somewhere I had never been and have never been since. It was at midnight in Arizona on a black in white television that was barely 10 inches wide. In early 1984 when I was 8 years old, I met the Doctor and his friends Sarah and Harry. I could tell you who Roger Delgado is and why when he looked like Geoffery Beevers he really wanted to go on Holiday to Traken. I had a subscription to Dr.Who magazine, I sent Tom Baker a letter when I was 10 years old, (I still have the autograph he sent me back, thank you Tom!)My grandmother knitted me an eight foot long scarf etc.etc. I myself was a giant DR.Who nerd in my younger years. The majority of the negative reviews seem to be coming from ultra-die hard Whovians. The thirteenth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who, known collectively as Flux, premiered on 31 October 2021, and is set to air through to 5 December 2021. I have seen "Rose," The first episode in the revamped BBC series, and I have to say I am thrilled. Fortunately for the IL' Doc, I think this means he will be around for awhile again. It seems that there is a huge diversity in the reaction to this show.
