Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Have a great weekend Guardians!

One hears that the first actor approached to play "the Doctor" asked, "Doctor Who?", and the title was born.
Originally the Doctor was the human grandfather of a young woman with a very short skirt. That was a movie I saw, wherein the Daleks couldn't roll on an electrically non-conductive floor.
The first actor in a Dr Who series I saw was John Pertwee, with puffy white hair, velvet smoking jackets, and Venusian aikido (he was the only two-armed creature ever to master Venusian aikido). By this time he was a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who'd been exiled and circumscribed on Earth, for his sins. He was accompanied by Elizabeth Sladen, as the journalist Sarah Jane Smith, who must have been the most useless travelling companion anybody ever had. "Must kill the Dawkktaw". Mind you, anyone turned to the dark side as early and often as she must have been a cheap and easy date.
Pertwee regenerated into Tom Baker, still the man to beat, though at first I thought he wasn't venerable enough. Baker had to leave Sarah Jane on Earth and respond to an emergency on Gallifrey. Eventually he hooked up with Leela, the jungle warrior huntress, who obviously wore a low-cut mini-dress, for freedom of movement. She was a great foil, being all instinctual and visceral, against Baker's intellectualism. Leela was replaceed by two generations of a lady Time Lord named Romana.
Anyway, Baker regenerated into Peter Davison, who couldn't have lasted long because everyone hated him for playing Tristan Farnan in All the Long-Leggity Beasties on Masterpiece, and he travelled with children instead of women.

I almost didn't watch the revival starring Chris Ecklestone, but I thought, give it a chance, and they were very good for quite a while.

Seems I have almost as much Dr Who in my head as Monty Python.

Ohhh, Dave, I'd take them all, if I could find the room. I love black labs! The 'exotics' are fine but, I just prefer black.

Blimey Dave! :eek: Do you think the mail will be any better at your new place? :rolleyes:



I was telling a pal of mine about you and your pup yesterday Preston, and about how hard you work (he has a young lab/spaniel cross) :thumbsup:

I do like training and it is hard work and long hours. The pro trainer that I go to has been great about keeping Dutch and me around...I do work that would take his time away from training paying clients dogs. It's a win-win, Dutch and I are no threat to his clients because we don't compete.

Doctor Who is a British science fiction television program that started in the 1960s. I think it was discontinued for a while, and then brought back maybe a couple of decades ago. Many different actors have played "The Doctor", very different from one another. There is some kind of transformation that occurs, something like dying and being reborn (?). The blue police box is some kind of space and time machine called the "Tardis". He travels around saving the universe, I think. ;) I was peripherally aware of the program in the early 1980s, and watched a few episodes. My daughter is a big fan. Anyway, JohnDF JohnDF can tell you a lot more than I can.

Thank you
 
I'm loooking at A.Wright and Sons, as well as George Wostenholm and Joseph Rodgers for a lambsfoot knife. Any info or preference with one maker over the others? Any other ones I should be looking at? I do have one of the CC knives "on reserve"...

Great account Jer! :D :thumbsup: I don't think I've watched it since Leela left in my mid teens :rolleyes: I remember going to see the film when I was very young, hard enough for a 3 year-old to understand, but my skinflint father snuck us in shortly before the end of the first showing, with the assistance of our neighbour who was an usherette at the local 'flicks', so I watched the ending before the start! o_O :rolleyes:
