Hartlepool Doctor Who fan Paul Bianco discusses his love for the show

Transcript

00:00 When and how did you fall in love with the character of Dr Hill?

00:04 Way back in 1963 I was 10 and the first Doctor of course was William Harden Hill.

00:10 I found him very quirky and I was quite scared of him actually and I got quite interested in that.

00:15 But the only short part of it is because President Kennedy was shot the same day,

00:20 sorry the day before.

00:22 So the rerun ends the following week and also shot the second episode on the second week.

00:29 And that's where it all started?

00:30 That's where it all started, yeah.

00:31 Second question, who is your all-time favourite Doctor and why?

00:36 It's hard to say, I still sound like Harden Hill but I think Tom Baker did a good job of it obviously.

00:42 You know, big teeth, curly hair, packs of jelly babies and what have you.

00:46 And the hat and the scarf?

00:47 The hat and the scarf, yeah.

00:48 So historically rememberable.

00:50 Oh yeah.

00:51 What is your all-time monster and why?

00:54 Well it's got to be the Daleks because I mean they don't look like anything at all,

00:58 they don't look human, you know what I mean?

00:59 You've got the Cybermen but you can tell it's a man dressed up in a rubber suit.

01:03 But the Daleks, you know, also they don't have human features which is a good thing.
