Interviews on a Sunday, part 2

Mysteriously didn't show on my f-list first time I posted this, so here goes again: This is the second of two sets of interview questions. I know I owe questions to a number of you; if you wish me to owe interview questions to you as well, say so in the comments.

And a sixth, for extra credit... How did you first encounter the early Doctor Whos? I recall Tom Baker onwards from the television, but I read all the Hartnell and Troughton stories in the Target novelisations before I'd seen more than a snippet of them on telly.

Excellent iconic childhood anecdote, thanks!

Of course, the Target novelisations were the only way for me too, plus the occasional repeat (you'll remember, I'm sure, the Five Faces of Doctor Who month when they showed An Unearthly Child, The Krotons, and Carnival of monsters in successsive weeks).

Nowadays we have DVDs, videos, audio CDs and (cough) other methods...

I don't remember that Five Faces month... There were a few years when I got rather out of step with Doctor Who. It was shown, as I remember, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Tuesdays I went to Brownies. It was very odd reading the Tom Baker novelisations later - parts were quite familiar and others I had no recollection of!

Didn't they also show The Three Doctors? Have I got that wrong?

Yes, you're quite right; and Logopolis as well.
