Welcome to the page of GUSTHEGREAT! I am an expert of classic Doctor Who, having watched all the exitsting episodes. I enjoy all the Hartnell, Trougton, Pertwee and Tom Baker episodes, but I dislike some of the Davison, Colin Baker and McCoy episodes. I think they are all good as the Doctor, but could have been better if they had had better writers. I have never seen the TV movie, so I don't know if McGann is good.

I don't care for the new Doctor Who, but have watched some of the episodes. I don't mind Eccleston or Tennant, but I hate Smith and Capaldi's portrayal of the Doctor.

I also watch 50s and 60s British shows like The Prisoner, HG Wells' Invisible Man and The Saint. I have also seen random episodes of Danger Man and The Avengers.

I collect old Target novelizations and action figures. The first Target novel I read was Doctor Who - Death To the Daleks.
