Some Reasons As To Why I Like The Fourth Doctor
I was not around at the time of the Fourth Doctor's impact. Doctor Who
also was cancelled not long after 1985 and I didn't happen to see any
TV episode repeats until I'd past childhood. But aspects of the show are
sort of embedded in British culture somewhat (Daleks especially) and I
saw the Peter Cushing and Paul McGann movies. The first time I saw TV
episodes of the series was during a special feature where they showed
a popular episode from each of the Doctors. Including Pyramids
of Mars although I was busy working at the same time. Anyway I
decided to find more from the Fourth Doctor (someone also reccomended
him) and started with Robot. The rest, as
they say, is history :D So (in no particular order):

1.
He has a wonderful voice. He could even make a simple word like "Hello"
sound fascinating and he spoke with such conviction 2. He's a big kid at heart and looks like he's having a lot of fun. A joy to watch 3. He had bottomless pockets with lots of cool little trinkets and other useful junk. If you ask him to empty his pockets you will be waiting until the day you die 4. Infinitely useful and distinctive scarf that looks cool when flailing in the air as he runs. It has saved his life many times! 5. He's a yoyo master. What fun! 6. He has a nifty Indiana Jones style hat 7. All of his outfits are interesting and he has a variety. This is one stylish Time Lord! 8. He often wears long coats and I love long coats. I especially love the long, soft, dark brown coat 9. I like the red cravat he wore for a while 10. He is unpredictable 11. He can switch from being extremely ecstatic to furiously angry in a matter of seconds. He had a lot of range from wildly energetic to ominously sombre throughout his era 12. Always ready to offer anyone a Jelly Baby. "Would you like a Jelly Baby?" - The Doctor 13. He had a wild sense of humour and was therefore good fun to watch 14. He liked to play the fool yet was always incredibly intelligent. "You can't always judge a book by its cover" - The Doctor |
Reasons For The Current Site Title
1. The Fourth Doctor is often described as "Bohemian"
2. "Rhapsody" because he's a joy to listen to and watch
3. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a very cool song by Queen
4. It sounds nifty... I hope
5. I didn't notice until after I decided on the name but later I found an unofficial page titling Season 12 from the Fourth Doctor's era "Bohemian Rhapsody". So hey, it fits!
(Admittedly reasons 1 and 3 are the main ones, 2 I made up after to fit in the extra word :D )
