The Pertinence Of Dr. Who Today. Mr. Trump Is The Master. I Have Watched Every Story Broadcast ---
 
in Denver from the time it began. I have some form of video or CD of every episode shown.

Dr. Who through time has covered most of the major issues we have faced in the past as well as today. He has dealt with all matters of the human and alien condition and all manners of political and economic tyranny. Donald Trump is the Master. Sadly we do not have Dr. Who in real life.

In all the Dr. Who I have watched Mr. Trump and his ilk seem like so many of the monsters in that series. One of the most basic themes in all of Dr. Who is about the battle against all forms of inequality and many forms of tyranny.

Dr. Who has a different format today. Originally the format was based on the old episodic cliffhangers of American cinema.
The original series has 25 minute episodes with cliffhanger endings. It was shown on Saturdays in Britain and became a national past time for many years. Such format allowed a story to take several episodes. For example Patrick Troughton has a 10 episode story called Battlefield of which I have a copy.

Later on the program was formatted to a one hour episode with some stories covering two episodes. It was about that time that the Dr. Who series was suspended for period of time. The head of BBC at the time did not like the series and was not happy with where John Nathan Turner was taking it.

We do not have all the episodes and stories from Hartnell or Troughton. We do have everything after that. For some reason someone at BBC sold off or gave away most of the early archive. And the BBC has been looking for lost episodes for many years. There is still hope that some will be found. And episodes and stories have been found all over the world.

I have seen all the stories from this series shown in Denver. And I believe virtually all of it was shown in Denver. It is an amazing journey to be able to follow the development of the Dr. Who series from the very beginning.

Dr. Who has covered many controversial issues over time. Too bad we do not have a Dr. Who to help with our present crisis.

Long-term Whovians are like Trekkers who hark back to the original TV show, a subculture all their own.

Aside: Star Trek's 3rd and final season was basically rubber-suited-monster-imperiling-mini-skirted-hottie-of-the-week. Some were pretty pathetic.

TMN seems like a geriatric version of the fanboys in "Galaxy Quest", wrapping his life around a silly sci-fi show and 3/4 believing it's true (or should be).
