Did anyone notice that 8.2 million viewers watched the first episode of Dr Who with the first female incarnation of the doctor Jodie Whittaker?
Fortunately my cameo appearance in front of the camera with the doctor in the background was successfully kept out of the media prior to the start of the series otherwise who knows what the ratings would have been. :o ;D ;D ::)

Hah! that's pretty cool V. have to admit I've not watched Dr Who since David Tennant packed in. I Used to be terrified when it was Patrick Troughton but it started to get too silly for my taste in later years.

Oh nice man!!! :)

I've never been a fan. it was just one of those shows I could take or leave and usually only caught it if I happened to turn on the tv and it was on.
In recent years I have watched it more as my other half is a keen watcher and that's really since Chris Eccleston was in it. I think he has been my favourite in recent years followed by David Tennant.

Nice one. Thought it was brilliant and have now watched that bit again.

I was terrified when Tom Baker played the doctor, but then I was at an impressionable age, and Tom Baker was uh - Tom Baker. Exterminate!

Where was your bit filmed Vee?

Nice! I am a Whovian of long standing.

I'm so excited to have a female doctor to look up to! And that's pretty exciting that you got to be part of it :D

Hasn't any one told you that you aren't suppose to upstage the star? ;)
We had a family friend growing up who made his living being an extra. Who knows this might be the start of a new career on the small screen for you.

Fantastic JV!

Hah! Congrats! Well done! Makes me wonder what the scene was about.

It's only my second casting as an extra although I have been offered many they timing has not been right. But I will do more if I get offered interesting roles. Maybe I'll get more than about 2 seconds on screen.

It was a scene in a church for a funeral.

Ah!

That's so cool! I've been a fan since before Tom Baker (John Pertwee? is that his name?) anyway, a long time though there's a few Doctors I've missed over the years...how many shows did you like as a kid that you still like now? probably not many.

DT was my last Dr. as well.
I tried watching a couple of shows after he left but for whatever reason they just didn't capture my interest.

Was it a popular tv programme in the states?

It has/had a decent sized cult following. Over here it didn't start as a children's show and was always more teens and adults. Like other BBC shows such as Monty Python and Red Dwarf it was typically on around 11 PM on the Public Broadcasting System. PBS is where most of our educational, arts and documentary shows are broadcast. I think I first started watching it in the early 80's on KQED in San Francisco. I saw the first series on broadcast TV. When they rebooted it I watched series on Netflix up through the first two seasons of Peter Capaldi. When it moved to Amazon Prime I stopped watching since I don't have it.

BBC America plays it on our fiber now. I grew up watching it on PBS back in the day. I can't even explain the Dr. Who excitement I feel again. Part nostalgia, part present/future I guess. I don't know.
