Dr. Who: A Timeless Inspiration
Whovian Charles Brammell reminisces about his childhood fascination with Dr. Who, a show "dripping with sacrifice, resurrection, and substitution."
As a child, I would tell a joke: 'Knock knock' "Who's there?" 'Dr' "Dr Who?" 'Dr Who on channel 2!'
At boarding school, Brammell and his fellow students would eagerly gather to watch Dr. Who after dinner, competing for the best seat in the TV room.
- Squeezing 50 adolescent boys into 20 chairs
- Violent competition for the best seat
Despite the show's perceived flaws, such as "ridiculously cheap and flimsy sets and costumes," Brammell found Dr. Who to be "the highest of all art."
