This is about the fans who subscribed to Doctor Who Magazine and read the novelizations and maybe even belong to fan clubs. Besides the Doctor Who-ness of it, it's also fun to remember when being that big of a geek meant fanzines instead of websites. It also made me think about the show in some new ways. I wish I could go back and rewatch some of those PBS pledge drives to see how they framed the show, because I think I had a lot of the same ideas and attitudes about it as a young 'lad' in the USA that these hardcore british heads had only I was in a vacuum and they were corresponding with each other in letters to the editors.

Interesting history of the intersection of Doctor Who and its fandom. I'm not sure that I would have fitted in the hard-core group of fans for most of Who's history, but it's fascinating to read about them. And good to know that there have always, ALWAYS, been people for whom Doctor Who is now rubbish because it's no longer the show of their youth.
