How lucky to be living in the UK, so close to the action. Here in Australia, we’d had all three series, but alas new Who is still a well-kept secret. Most people still associate the show with the scarf-wearing, curly haired Tom Baker and the not-so-special effects of the day.

A co-worker entered the tearoom the other day, bemoaning the fact that some of her customers simply weren’t human. Before I could curb my tongue, I launched into an enthusiastic dissertation on Slitheen, skin suits, Raxacoricofallapatorius and planetary annihilation, only to be greeted with slack-jawed, pitying stares.

Strange girl, that Reinette, with her TARDIS key-ring.

Poor ignorant souls, never to have experienced the bliss of a crash-bang-wallop, CGI-laden Russell T Davies finale! And no one’s even heard of the shiny, new and most aesthetically-pleasing David Tennant! The UK and States are half-way through Series 4, while we in Oz haven’t even had Voyage of the Damned yet. I know I could peek at on-line spoilers, but would prefer to wait for quality pix on TV.

Have other Aussies noticed this sad lack of acknowledgment of new Whoness? If so, please feel free to come and vent with me on my new Facebook Group - "Hello, Mr BBC, there are Doctor Who fans in Australia too!!" Would welcome your feedback as to what you want this site to be.

AND PLEASE NOTE - OVERSEAS WHOVIANS ARE MOST WELCOME TO JOIN, THE MORE THE MERRIER!!

And just to round off a lovely relaxing rainy weekend, here's a quick Doctor Who quote.

Jackie Tyler (Rose's Mum): What do you mean, he's got two hearts? Don't be stupid!! Anything else he's got two of?

Er, thought she was going to have a break from blogging 'cos she was so tired. And now she's gone and set up ANOTHER website!! Sheesh, hyperactive thing, couldn't be calm if she tried.
