The Doctor and I

As you’ve probably noticed during the past month, the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who this year has shown no lack of fan appreciation and acknowledgement of this epic BBC television series. Our resident 5 1/2 year old Whovian Lindalee was certainly witness to the excitement and loyalty of Doctor Who fans who embarked on a 3 day celebration in London back in November. She surely can empathize with all those fans who are prepping for a tearful farewell to current time-lord in residence, Matt Smith as he passes the torch during the Christmas Day episode to the next actor to fill those shoes, Peter Capaldi.

With December 25th less than a handful of days away, if you have a Doctor Who fan in your life, there’s one gift for the stocking, or under the tree that will not go unappreciated or re-gifted; WhovianNet‘s recently produced book called The Doctor & I. With an exclusive foreword by award winning writer Richard Curtis, the new book features over 80 memoirs and accounts from fans who have been personally impacted and inspired by the Doctor’s adventures over the last 50 years. This is a remarkable spotlight on the phenomenal following that has multiple generations of Doctor Who fans sharing stories of their youth thru adulthood. It’s absolutely fascinating to read how the show’s heroes, villains, story-lines and contributing characters influenced, inspired and touched those whose stories are showcased in the book. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll believe a 900+ year old time-lord can save more than just the universe, but at times, the human soul as well.

We are particularly proud that Beyond the Marquee’s own resident Doctor Who Fan/Reviewer Lindalee Rose was asked to share her own story and adventures of being a young Whovian for the book as well (you can read her story on page 44). Click ahead for a special endorsement video shot by Lindalee endorsing the book and telling her own story, plus samples of stories from the book itself.
