Doctor Who at 60




















This week, what else could the poem be about. Past and present, as far back as I can remember, a young child of around 6, and Doctor Who was there, so much so that I can even date events in my life by relation to Doctors and stories! My first girlfriend - the year of the Three Doctors. A stay in hospital for observation in case of appendicitis - Castrovalva. And the year my Annie died, perhaps appropriately, the End of Time. Sad days, happy days, always part of the tapestry of my life, entwined in my memories.

Doctor Who at 60

An adventure in Time and Space
Black and white flickering screen
Grandstand ending, and I am keen
On swirling patterns, emergent face

Daleks cry exterminate and chase
Then Cybermen, such scary scene
An adventure in Time and Space
Black and white flickering screen

Such joyful memories, just so ace
From a six year old to older teen
Doctor Who, my lifetime has seen
So many changes, each new face
An adventure in Time and Space
