I am LATE to watching this, but I couldn't agree more about getting a lovely Doctor Who box set every Christmas. I was especially excited to be given the First Doctor box set because that was three stories I'd never seen before. Loved them! Even The Gunfighters.
I started watching Dr Who when I was 4 in 1973 ! The earliest Dr Who X-Mas present I got was the 1976 Annual and I kept getting them as presents into the 80's ! I had a Tom Baker Doll one year and a Dalek Board Game called War Of The Daleks in the 70's ! I used to take the Daleks from the board game and pit them against my airfix British soldiers because they had beret's and uniform like UNIT solders I pretended it was UNIT Vs The Daleks I rarely played the board game ! lol but The Daleks Vs my soldiers loads ! see you guys in jan at Chiswick !
Top vid! Thank you! I remember getting my Dapol TARDIS for Christmas '88. I got the Lovarzi umbrella and Abominable Snowmen DVD this year, both were a lovely surprise. Toying with getting Mary Tamm's book on the Fantom site.
@@p-bal I'm not sure I'd take mine out. Never been a brolly guy - they turn inside out and do my head in! It's a nice thing to hold though and my lad loves it too. The Mary Tamm book is out of stock so I got the Lalla book instead. Just recently watched Season 17 too. I was never fond of cacti though. 😁🌵
I never got Doctor Who themed stuff as a child but as an adult I have had a few nik-naks thrown my way (I don't mean the savoury snacks!). In fact this Xmas my wife bought me a huge TARDIS dressing gown which is very snuggly during these cold days! I would share a photo, if the comments allowed! Great video guys. Hope you had a lovely one and a happy new year to you all
@@p-bal I'm no Miss Hardaker, but I've never really been keen on that too much in DW. I think the Dr Who meets Byker Grove ft. Thundercats of Survival was just the right balance for me. I also don't like the idea of it between the Dr and companions. Again, don't wanna get all Miss Hardaker, just think other formats handle it better, whereas DW doesn't really require it.
@@barstang I think the New Adventures were sold on being "edgy and adult" so they felt they had to drop in some sex, drugs and swearing. I agree, it never needed it!
Pbal - your copy of timeframe. Is it the 1st or 2nd edition? Fun fact. The 1st edition had a picture printed the wrong way up. This was corrected in the 2nd edition. Interestingly, the 2nd edition is rarer because less were printed. My 1st edition was stolen at school & so I have a 2nd edition replacement.
