Doctor Who Meme - Day 30 - Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

[redfiona99]

I thought I'd end the meme with a thank you letter to Russell T Davies.

Now there might have been many things wrong with his tenure, and I might have many objections to various episodes, but he brought the show back and turned it into a success again.

Because, pre-revival, mostly Doctor Who was the punchline to jokes, the naff sci-fi show with the wobbly sets, the dodgy acting and the dweeby fans. In the great fan hierarchy where sci-fi fans were already on the bottom of the heap, Who fans were the bottom of that barrel. (Non-UKers who have seen the original Queer As Folk, notice how Vince's Doctor Who thing gets treated. [Also notice why I identify so, so much with Vince and squeak when Stuart can name all the Doctors.])

And he turned the show into a cool thing that everyone watches.

For that alone, I want to say,

THANK YOU, RTD!
