Everyone loves Doctor Who. So for my first official Geekagogue post, I thought I should discuss everyone's favorite gateway fandom. I hope you like it!
- In 2007, St. Paul's Church, Cardiff held a Doctor Who themed service to attract younger people. It worked!
- Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor) joined a monastery at age 15. He left six years later.
- The words Dalek, T.A.R.D.I.S, and Whovian are all in the Oxford English Dictionary.
- Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who. Later used in the spin off Torchwood. (Watch it now!)
- Doctor Who is banned in China! So is any other time travel based show, the government officials don't want to promote anything to do with altering history.
- Asteroid 3325, found in 1984, was named T.A.R.D.I.S after Doctor Who's T.A.R.D.I.S!
- Doctor Who employed BBC's first female producer, Verity Lambert.
- The Eighth Doctor starred in only one feature length episode.
- The T.A.R.D.I.S sound was originally made by rubbing a key along the bass strings of a piano and playing the sound backwards!
- Around his moonwalking phase, Michael Jackson was almost the Doctor! Luckily it didn't work out.
- The BBC owns the copyright to the design of the T.A.R.D.I.S, instead of the Metropolitan Police.
- Doctor Who was originally going to be an educational show, when in the future, they would teach about science, and history in the past!
- J.K. Rowling was asked to write a Christmas special for Doctor Who, but declined.
That's all for now, thanks for reading, I hope you liked it! Come back next week for my next post, don't forget to tell your friends and family about Geekagogue!
