I did a Google search just past midnight and I noticed they had a tribute up celebrating the good Dr.'s 50th aniversery on TV, making it one of the longest running shows in history. I remember as a kid watching several year old reruns shown on local public TV and being glued to the set as Tom Baker (my favorite Dr. Who) would save the world from aliens from other worlds, dimensions, and time. His epic battles against the evil Daleks were legendary and made quite an impression on this youngster's mind.
So on this 50th anniversary of my favorite time-Lord I raise a toast in his honor and thank the creative minds over at the BBC for giving the world so many years of great science fiction entertainment.
Happy 50th good Doctor, may you have 50 more!!!
