well said. I always wanted his scarf, and even had a go at building a K9 at one point. I still have my Dr Who 1st Annual tucked away somewhere, and a Lego tardis. Some of the relaunch story lines were good, Rose Tyler, and Clara Oswin Oswald, but Tom Baker will always be the hiding behind the sofa memory. Jelly bean anyone?
Not trying to be mean, but I’m pretty sure it was jelly _baby_ which is even funnier because they are cute and squishy.
I lost interest in the reboots after a few years but thought Ecclestone was truly marvellous, and I did return for Jodie Whittaker. Perhaps because they are both northerners like me. “Lots of planets have a North” might be one of my favourite lines of all time.
Also, since we’re mostly here to talk about the music, I absolutely love the frantic strings and ominous horns of the Ecclestone-era version. Sets up the excitement in a different but equally captivating way.
