My Doctor Who Memories
My Doctor Who memories are watching the Doctor at the movies in the 60's Then watching The Doctor on TV in America in the 70's hosting a Doctor Who convention in the 80's with Gerry Davis and Terry Nation at the same convention for the first time in the 90's I was on the design team for the Doctor Who arcade game. I also wrote several articles over the years about the Doctor including a review of the 80's Doctor Who and The Daleks book, The Cornerstone Trading cards and many other products. Now that Doctor Who has reached 50 years and beyond I want to say "Thank you" to all of the Doctors I have worked with over the years "Splendid Chaps All of Them"
The First Doctor: William Hartnell from 1963 to 1966
the initial incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. Hartnell reprised the role once, in the tenth anniversary story The Three Doctors (1973). Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in his TARDIS, frequently with companions. When the Doctor is critically injured, he can regenerate his body; in doing so, his physical appearance and personality change. Hartnell's Doctor is the Doctor's "original" form. The regeneration plot device was introduced when Hartnell needed to leave the series, and consequently has extended the life of the show for many years.
His original companions were his granddaughter Susan (Carole Ann Ford) and her schoolteachers Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill). Hartnell's version of the Doctor was also the basis for the character played by the actor Peter Cushing in the 1965 and 1966 Dr. Who films, which do not share a continuity with the television series.
Doctor Who: The William Hartnell Years
The Second Doctor: Patrick Troughton 1966-1969
This incarnation of the Doctor, was portrayed by character actor Patrick Troughton.
The transformation into the Second Doctor (originally referred to as a "renewal"), a figure who was the same 'essential' character as the first but with a very different persona, was a turning point in the evolution of the series, and eventually became a critical element of the series' longevity. His companions were 18th Scottish Highlander Jamie McCrimon (Frazier Hines), Victoria Waterfield daughter of Victorian-Age scientist Edward Waterfield (Deborah Watling) and Zoe Heriot, she is the librarianon board Space Station W3 in the 21th Century (Wendy Padbury).

Doctor Who: The Patrick Troughton Years
The Third Doctor: Jon Pertwee 1969-1973
This incarnation of the Doctor, was portrayed by actor Jon Pertwee.
Pertwee portrays the third such incarnation, a dapper man of action of stark contrast to his wily but less action-oriented predecessors. While previous Doctors' stories had all involved time and space travel, for production reasons Pertwee's stories initially depicted the Doctor stranded on Earth, where he worked as a scientific advisor to the international military group UNIT.
His adventures often fitted into the spy-fi genre which had been popularised by The Avengers the decade prior. Within the story, the Third Doctor came into existence as part of a punishment from his own race, the Time Lords, who forced him to regenerate and also disabled his TARDIS. Eventually, this restriction is lifted and the Third Doctor embarks on more traditional time travel and space exploration stories.
His initial companion is UNIT scientist Liz Shaw (Caroline John), who unceremoniously leaves the Doctor's company between episodes to be replaced by the more wide-eyed Jo Grant (Katy Manning), who then continues to accompany the Doctor after he regains use of his TARDIS. His final companion was intrepid journalist Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen), who would go on to become the Doctor's longest-serving companion.

My Doctor Who Memories:
Meeting Jon Pertwee and Elisabeth Sladen
My Doctor Memories 1983
My first meeting with Jon Pertwee and Elisabeth Sladen at the old Granada Theater in Chicago. Like many other fans at the time just meeting The Doctor was amazing. But this meeting lead me into something I was not expecting that is working with Jon Pertwee's agent The Eddinger Bros. They were promoting Jon Pertwee's book in the U.S. called "Moon Boots and Dinner Suits" a kind of autobiography of Jon's life.
As for Elisabeth Sladen she was wonderful she was so much like Sarah Jane Smith
I was quite taken with her. We talked about her time on Doctor and who working with Jon Pertwee was different that that of Tom Baker. It seemed that Jon since we was from a comedy background was a lot more fun than Tom Baker who could be quite moody at times. She signed a one of my special diamond shaped Weeabix Cereal cards that I held on to for many years Even though the Granada Theater is now gone it's been replaced with a Radio Shack and Subway Sandwich Shop. Every time I past by that spot I still remember how was great to meet both Jon and Elisabeth.
I wish they could have been here for the 50th Anniversary they will be missed.
The Fourth Doctor: Tom Baker 1973-1981
This an incarnation of the Doctor was portrayed by Tom Baker for seven consecutive seasons and remains the longest-lived incarnation of the Doctor in the show's on-screen history, counting both the classic and modern series. Further to this, he is considered to be the most recognisable and iconic incarnation of the Doctor both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Baker portrays the fourth such incarnation, a whimsical and sometimes brooding individual whose enormous personal warmth is at times tempered by his capacity for righteous anger. His initial companion was intrepid journalist Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen), who had travelled alongside him in his previous incarnation, and she is later joined by surgeon Harry Sullivan (Ian Marter). His later companions included robotic dog K-9, savage alien warrior Leela (Louise Jameson), female Time Lord Romana (Mary Tamm and Lalla Ward), alien aristocrat Nyssa (Sarah Sutton), boy genius Adric (Matthew Waterhouse), and Australian flight attendant Tegan (Janet Fielding).

Doctor Who: Shada The Lost Adventure
Shada is an unaired serial of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was intended to be the final serial of the 1979–80 season (season 17), but was never completed due to strike action at the BBC during filming. In 1992, its recorded footage was released on video using linking narration by Tom Baker, who played the Doctor in the serial, to complete the story.
The script, with adaptations, was later produced by Big Finish Productions as an audio play, with animation and was made available on BBCi and the BBC website in 2003. This version saw Paul McGann take on the role of the Doctor, with Lalla Ward reprising her role as Romana, with an otherwise different cast.
A novelisation of the story written by Gareth Roberts, returning the action to the Fourth Doctor and Romana, was released in March 2012
Doctor Who Shada Lost Adventure HC - $16.17
A 'lost adventure' of Doctor Who scripted by Douglas Adams, beloved author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, novelized at last with the approval of the Adams estate. The Doctor's old friend and fellow Time Lord Professor Chronotis has retired to Cambridge University where no one will notice if he lives for centuries. When he left Gallifrey he took with him a few little souvenirs. Most of them are harmless. But one of them is extremely dangerous. The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey isn't a book for Time Tots. It must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. And the sinister Skagra most definitely has the wrong hands. He wants the book. He wants to discover the truth behind Shada. And he wants the Doctor's mind!
The Fifth Doctor: Peter Davison 1982-1984
This incarnation of the Doctor was portrayed by Peter Davison. Davison portrays the fifth such incarnation, who has a vulnerable side and a tendency towards indecisiveness, dressed as a boyish Edwardian cricketer. He travelled with a host of companions, including boy genius Adric (Matthew Waterhouse), alien aristocrat Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) and Australian flight attendant Tegan Jovanka (Janet Fielding), whom he had travelled alongside in his previous incarnation. He also shared later adventures alongside devious schoolboy Vislor Turlough (Mark Strickson) and American college student Peri Brown (Nicola Bryant).
Doctor Who: The Peter Davison Years
The Sixth Doctor: Colin Baker 1984-1986
This an incarnation of the Doctor was portrayed by Colin Baker. Although his televisual time on the series was comparatively brief and turbulent, Baker has continued as the Sixth Doctor in Big Finish's range of original Doctor Who audio adventures. Baker portrays the sixth such incarnation, a flamboyant man in brightly coloured, mismatched clothes whose brash and overbearing personality set him apart from all his previous incarnations
Doctor Who: The Slyvester McCoy Years
The Eighth Doctor: Paul McGann 1996
This incarnation of the Doctor was portrayed by Paul McGann. The character was introduced in the 1996 TV film Doctor Who, a back-door pilot produced in an unsuccessful attempt to relaunch the series following its 1989 cancellation. While the Eighth Doctor initially had only one on-screen appearance, his adventures were portrayed extensively in subsequent spin-off media, including more than 70 audio dramas starring McGann. In 2013, the actor reprised the role in the mini-episode "The Night of the Doctor", which depicts the Eighth Doctor's final adventure. McGann portrays the eighth such incarnation, a passionate, enthusiastic, and eccentric character. His only companion in the television film is Grace Holloway (Daphne Ashbrook), a medical doctor whose surgery is partly responsible for triggering his regeneration. In the continued adventures of the character depicted in audio dramas, novels and comic books he travels alongside numerous other companions, including self-styled "Edwardian Adventuress" Charley, the alien Destrii and present-day humans Lucie and Sam.

Brit TV Convention 1988:
Terry Nation and Gerry Davis Together Again For the First Time
My Doctor Who Memories 1988:
Getting Terry Nation to come to my convention Part II
Now that I got Gerry Davis to agree to coming to my convention I now had to talk to Terry Nation.
I knew that this was not going to be easy. Terry was always being asked to come to conventions and this would be just another request to talk about his days at Doctor Who and telling the same old Dalek stories. So I had to have a plan. Luckily I had just met John Freeman the editor at Doctor Who magazine. For some reason he came to my store in Chicago in late 1987 to talk about Terry's upcoming book Doctor Who and the Daleks with John Peel. John Freeman asked would I be interested in writing a review for the book that would appear in Doctor Whomagazine. Of course I said yes and talked to co-author John Peel to coming as a guest. I thought with this I could approach Terry with a reason for him to come to the convention. So I got in touch with Terry and told him about what our convention was about and offered him the same retrospective I offered Gerry Davis. Terry like Gerry then when into how much does this man really know about my work beyond Doctor Who.
So he asked could he bring in episodes of Hancock and Survivors. I told Terry that while Survivors is a very good end of the world series. Do he think that fans would understand some of the comedy that Hancock did since it was very early tv and about how Hancock while a good comic had died very early and was more of a laugh clown laugh story. After that Terry started talking about coming to the show. then ask about the guest. I told him I had Dave Rogers who did both Avengers books and was a good friend of Terry's and his co-author of the Doctor Who and the Dalek book. Then I told him about Gerry Davis. His response was Hey that great I have not seen Gerry since the old BBC days. It should be interesting and I am sure between the two of us we will have some great new stories. Count me in!
With that I thanked him and looked forward to meeting with him. When the day did come both Gerry and Terry hosted panels that really gave fans the inside scoop on writing for Doctor Who.
I was very sadden at the passing of Gerry Davis and Terry Nation. They like late Verity Lambert who was to be my next guest and Sydney Newman was the heart and soul of Doctor Who. In fact I worked with Terry two more times taking his retrospective to other conventions. He told that I should come to the UK as a Doctor Who historian at the conventions there. I never did mainly because I never been invited. Still I loved being part of The Doctor.
My Doctor Who Memory 1988:
Getting Gerry Davis to come to my convention Part I
When I was asked the year before by a fan group to become producer of a new convention. I asked who they would like as a guest. Gerry Davis was a name that came up, but many in the group also wanted Terry Nation since he had been at many Doctor Who conventions in the U.S.. I suggested that we should have them both. That's when I heard that Terry Nation and Gerry Davis did not like each other because of what happened on Doctor Who. Terry took the Daleks with him when he left Doctor Who in the early 60's just as Gerry was hired as new writer.for Doctor Who leaving them without the Daleks the show's most popular villain. So Gerry along with Kit Peddler created The Cyberman and they became just a popular as the Daleks so they did not need Terry's Daleks any more. I knew the story but I thought that was years ago and both men have moved on. That's not what fan clubs from all over the U.S. was telling me. They said That "There is no way both would appear on stage together".
Still I put in a call to Gerry Davis. Our first couple of minutes we didn't talk about Doctor Who but his other work in television. Then he ask if I am going to do a traditional Doctor Who convention which was something he was not that interested in doing. So I told him that Brit TV Conventions was about the history of British Television and that this year we were focused on writers and their creations. That got his attention and he ask have a seen his series called "DoomWatch" I said I did and we talked about how Doomwatch a series about a group of scientist were trying to prevent global biological disaster.
Now that he knew that I was not just a Doctor fan but a true British TV historian which he though was rare for an African-American living in the U.S. He agreed to become a guest only if I did a retrospective of his career and let him conduct a Doctor Who writing seminar he would come. Now the real problem. I then told him that one of the guest would be Terry Nation.
Thinking that would be the end of our wonderful conversation. He said great" I have not seen Terry in years". Then I told him about the stories I heard about him and Terry not getting along. He said that was just fan talk and that no one ever ask him about doing a convention with Terry Nation that's why He and Terry never did one together noone ever bother to ask until now.. I said there will be now. So in May of that year I was proud to announce on stage "Gerry Davis and Terry Nation Together Again for The First Time" Stay tune my next memory getting Terry Nation to say Yes.
Doctor Who New Series
The Ninth Doctor: Christopher Eccleston 2005
This an incarnation of the Doctor, was portrayed by Christopher Eccleston during the first series of the show's revival in 2005. The production team's approach to the character and Eccleston's portrayal were highlighted as being intentionally different from his predecessors, with Eccleston stating that his character would be less eccentric. To fit in with a 21st-century audience, the Doctor was given a primary companion who was designed to be as independent and courageous as himself in the form of Rose Tyler. He also briefly travels with Adam Mitchell, a self-serving boy genius who acts as a foil to the companions and ultimately proves unworthy, and Jack Harkness, a reformed con man from the 51st century. The Doctor, Rose and Jack form a close team but are separated in the series finale in which each character has to make difficult choices and face sacrifice.
In 2006, readers of Doctor Who Magazine voted Eccleston's Doctor the third most popular Doctor. Both mainstream press and science fiction reviewers generally credit the character and Eccleston as helping to re-establish the show following its hiatus between 1996 and 2005. The character's interactions with his archenemies, the Daleks, were particularly praised. Eccleston won several awards for his single series including the 2005 National Television Award for best actor.
The Tenth Doctor: David Tennant 2005-2010
This an incarnation of the Doctor was played by David Tennant in three series as well as nine specials. As with previous incarnations of the Doctor, the character has also appeared in other Doctor Who spin-offs. Tennant's portrayal of the Doctor is of an outwardly charismatic and charming adventurer whose likeable and easygoing attitude can quickly turn to righteous fury.
This incarnation's companions include working class shop assistant Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), medical student Martha Jones(Freema Agyeman), and fiery temp worker Donna Noble (Catherine Tate). He eventually parts ways with them all by the end of the 2008 series finale, "Journey's End", after which he attempts to travel alone for the duration of the 2008–10 specials before being accompanied by Donna Noble's grandfather Wilfred Mott on his final adventure in "The End of Time" .In November 2012, and 2015 as part of Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary celebrations and 10th since the show was revived in 2005, Tennant's Doctor was voted "The UK's favourite Doctor" in a survey held by the Radio Times magazine.

His main companions included feisty Scot Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), her husband Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) and the mysterious Clara Oswald (Jenna-Louise Coleman). He also frequently appeared alongside River Song (Alex Kingston), a fellow time traveller with whom he shared a romantic storyline, and was the last Doctor to appear alongside the long-serving companion Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) prior to the actress' death, featuring in two episodes of the spin-off programme The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Doctor Who: The Matt Smith Years
The Twelfth Doctor: Peter Capaldi 2013-2017
This an incarnation of the Doctor, is portrayed by Scottish actor Peter Capaldi. Capaldi's portrayal of the Doctor is a spiky, brusque, contemplative, and pragmatic character who conceals his emotions in the course of making tough and sometimes ruthless decisions, this often leading him to question his character and the value of his travels.Capaldi made his first, very brief appearance as the Doctor in the show's fiftieth anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor" (2013), as one of the thirteen incarnations of the Doctor who are summoned to save Gallifrey from destruction. Capaldi's first full appearance as the Doctor was at the end of the 2013 Christmas special "The Time of the Doctor".He is accompanied in the eighth and ninth series by companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman).

My Doctor Who Memories 1992:
The Doctor Who Arcade Game.
As a computer tech you get a lot of strange jobs. This one was very unusual. I was assigned to work at Midway- Bally games. Which was great since I only lived about ten minutes way. I was working on the Addams Family game when I heard a familiar sound. I though the TARDIS was landing in one of the prototype labs so I went to see if I was going crazy. And there it was the Doctor Who logo on a game. I felt like Sarah Jane in "School Reunion" it was a Doctor Who game!!.
That's when I met Bill Pfutenruter. He as the lead on the game what a great guy. I told him that I knew about Doctor Who and would love to work on the game. I saw the copy for the game that listed the game as "Doctor Who the sci-fi thriller game" I knew that was wrong. So I when to Roger Sharpe who was media marketing for Midway-Bally. I told him about my experience with Doctor Who and I love to work on the game and that Bill Pfutz was ok with it.
Still company rules I was in the wrong section, but Roger did say if I worked on the game on my own time off the clock then that would work. So I did for about 5 months I worked with the design team. Then when it was over I was able to take the game to a Doctor Who convention in Chicago that had guest Colin Baker and Nicoloa Braynt the both played the game. Colin plays a mean pinball. They both signed the backglass of that game and it was given to me after the convention was over. On the day before the convention Roger called me over to one of the games to read the design team credits and to my surprise one of the names was Howard Lee. I could not believe at first. "What about company rules" I ask Roger "He said Rules can be bent" with that he presented me a signed copy of his book on the history of Pinball. What a fantastic 5 months even though the game drove me crazy at times, I would have not missed that experience for the world.
