Another Doctor Who Postcard!!!

[rusty_armour]

You're not going to believe it, flisters, but I've received another postcard from a
Time Lord! Oh, and it's not just any Time Lord, but my favourite Doctor! Tee hee! :-D








It's so sweet that the Fifth Doctor cares. And as his postcard also has a Canadian stamp on it, I'm assuming he either asked a good and kind-hearted Canadian (and quite very possibly a friend of mine) to mail it on his behalf. Then, of course, he could have infiltrated Canada Post (child's play for a Time Lord, I'm sure) or maybe he even travelled here and sent the postcard himself...Well, however the Fifth Doctor managed it, I'm very grateful for the postcard from him (and any accomplices). Thank you very much, Doctor! :-D

How exciting! Of course The Doctor posted it in Canada. He's waiting to find out if you're okay!

You're so wise! That makes perfect sense, of course! :-)

How do you address a postcard to the Tardis?

Yikes! I don't know! I hadn't even thought of trying to write back. Uh...maybe the following:

The Doctor
Big Blue Box (that's bigger on the inside than the outside)
Somewhere in the limitless realm of time and space

I haven't seen any of the Peter Davison episodes, but I like the look of him.

Somehow, I'm not surprised. *g* Well, the "look of him" is part of what drew me in. I had a crush on him because of All Creatures Great and Small.

What kind of Doctor character did he play?

Oooooh...good question. Well, other fans may or may not agree with me, but I think the Fifth Doctor is quite light-hearted with a good sense of humour. He's energetic, but not bouncy like the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor. On the negative side, he can be a bit impatient and surprisingly sensitive (e.g. he storms out of the TARDIS in "Earthshock" when he gets into an argument with Adric). Of course, like all the other Doctors, he has a strong sense of justice and compassion. He's also inquisitive and has a huge fondness for Earth and certain Earth pursuits (like cricket). Maybe this fan tribute vid will give you some idea of what the Fifth Doctor is like:

Oh, what a terrific fanvid! It not only gives a great sense of this Doctor's character, it's beautifully edited. And although I wasn't familiar with the music selection, "Counting the Beat" by The Swingers, this lovely bit of New Zealand power pop certainly captures the mood of the early 80s. Googling, I see that the singer was formerly a member of Split Enz, an old favourite of mine.

You know, as soon as I heard "Counting the Beat," I thought it might be your kind of song. *g* Well, I'm happy you enjoyed the fanvid. I agree completely about it being beautifully edited and providing a great sense of the Fifth Doctor's character. :-) To be honest, I knew absolutely nothing about The Swingers until I read your comment. It's cool that the singer was a member of a favourite band of yours.

Yes! I like this Doctor. I like his suitable-for-cricket clothes and his eighties hairstyle and a sense of humour is so important.

Yay! I thought you might like the Fifth Doctor! :-D Yes, I think his outfit is a nice balance between eccentric and stylish and his hair is very eighties. I think his sense of humour is one of the things I like most about him. He has a bit of that Tristan Farnon twinkle in his eyes.
