I still mull over the idea of building a model sewer to play some Invasion style games as I have many a painted cybermen, Unit Trooper and even some International Electromatics guards...Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575292551945130909.post-34620883782146350332013-02-26T18:03:23.009-08:002013-02-26T18:03:23.009-08:00Yep, I had a lot of the target novels too, "...Yep, I had a lot of the target novels too, "Monster of Peladon" was my first one. I remember looking through all of the Doctor Who novels at a local bookstore once as a kid and had a guy who reached for a book right next to me. I was startled because he was dressed up like Tom Baker's doctor and was the spitting image of him. Being the young impressionable child that I was, I thought it was really him! But I was disappointed to find out he was dressed up for a convention.Chad Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084711824869449643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575292551945130909.post-32986054846585579872013-02-26T14:21:42.897-08:002013-02-26T14:21:42.897-08:00Massive Who fan here too!

That and good old Sylvester McCoy being on BBC1 or 2 on a Saturday evening in the late 80's - some of those Seventh Doctor stories were truly terrifying at the time - Ghostlight, Survival and Curse of Fenric in particular.<br /><br />I struggle to pick a favourite Doctor though - I have a real affection for the 1st and 2nd Doctors, love Unit and the Pertwee stories, think Tom Baker is amazing - 5th Doctor left me a little cold and I didn't get on with the 6th I'm afraid. I quite liked Christopher Ecclestone's Ninth Doctor but some of the later stuff definitely lost that magic ingredient Classic Who had.
