The Doctor Who Blog Party | Party Tag

Here we go... the Doctor Who Blog Party is on! Are we ready? 
Allons-y!!

1| If you decided to name your first born child after any Doctor Who character, male or female, who would it be?
Weell... I've always loved the name Rose, because that was my Great-Grandmother's name.  And I've always thought of naming a daughter after her:)  It counts, right?  Also really loving the name David, but my best friend already claimed that one for her list... hehe;D

2| What is your favourite colour of the Doctor's shoes?
The red is spunky, but I like the neutral canvas ones, too... Have a thing for cream canvas. :)
3| Look around yourself and name the one thing that is TARDIS blue in your house!
A really gorgeous length of satin-brushed cotton fabric... Epic TARDIS project coming up!!!

4| If you could pick who plays the Twelfth Doctor which actor would you choose and why?
No idea... um, you know who might do a fantastic job is... David Tennant!  k, seriously, he's the doctor in my book.  I'm sure that the powers that be will find another great player:)

5| The Doctor is going back in time again, which historical era should he visit?
The French Revolution!!!  Can we please have The Doctor team up with Sir Percy?  Of course, we'd all just keel over from the awesomeness...  Besides, Robespierre was probably some sort of Slitheen-ish creature.  This could be a bit more sonic...

6| Would you REALLY go with the Doctor in the TARDIS?
Yes.
My lack of loquasiouness needs no explanation.

7| Who's your favorite Doctor and why?
Ten.  Ten.  Ten.  Why?  Just Ten.
Those of you who've seen him don't need any explanation, and I'm sure other party-goers will gush enough to make you get the picture without my adding more:)

8| Would you be afraid to spend Christmas in London?
Not with the Doctor!

9| Do you look at an ordinary screwdriver and think 'this could be a bit more sonic?'
Last year, no.  Now, yes.  DW does that to you.

10| Angel statues, plastic mannequins, Christmas trees - what ordinary everyday object would you love to make an object of terror to Whovians were you Steven Moffat?
Wouldn't it be wicked to do something to doors... any door... all doors?  You walk through and dissapear?  We walk through so many doors in a day... that would be deliciously horrid.

11| The TARDIS lands in your garden and the Doctor steps out. What is the first thing you say to him?
"Yes, I think I would like that.  Might I just go grab my accordion before we're off?  It could really be a little more sonic, but we can fix that all right and tight!"

12| Who is your favorite actor who has played the Doctor so far and why?
David.  See #7.  'Nuff said.
13| Have you seen any Classic Doctor Who? If so, which Doctor/episode(s) is your favorite?
No, but planning to with my friend Tom soon!  She's watched the classics since before they were classic:D

14| Which are the creepiest, scariest and all-out meanest baddies in all the Who-niverse?
I'm going with the nameless creature in The Impossible Planet two-parter... you know the one. That was seriously scary.  "I am known by many names..."

15| Who is/are your favorite Companion(s) and why?
I've only seen Rose so far, but I have a feeling she's always going to be the best.  Very excited to see the others, though. (edit: Martha is amazing, and I adore Donna.  yes yes yes.)
16| Did you cry more watching Doomsday or The Angels Take Manhattan?
Only seen Doomsday, but I can't imagine a more poignant, emotion-fraught story than that... :sobs:

17| What is your favorite quote from the show?
Impossible to say.  But a few favorites that comes to mind:

Bishop: Start from the beginning. Tell me everything you know.
The Doctor: Well, for starters, I know... you can't wrap your hand round your elbow and make your fingers meet.

Father: Now what's your game?
The Doctor: My... um. Snakes and Ladders. Quite good at squash, reasonably. I'm being facetious, aren't I...? There's really no call for it.

The Doctor: I cannot stress this enough. Ballbearings you can eat—masterpiece!

Rose: Thanks.
Mickey: Thanks for what?
Rose: Exactly.

The Doctor: It's very well-behaved, this place. I thought they would be happy slapping hoodies. Happy-slapping-hoodies-with-ASBOs. Happy-slapping-hoodies-with-ASBOs-and-ringtones. :Pleased: Yeah? Yeah? Oh yeah! Don't tell me I don't fit in.

Reinette: Monsieur, be careful!
The Doctor: Just a nightmare, Reinette. Don't worry about it. Everyone has nightmares. Even monsters from under the bed have nightmares. Don't you, monster?
Reinette: What do monsters have nightmares about?
The Doctor: Me!
The Doctor: Go now! Don't drop the banana!
Captain Jack: Why not?
The Doctor: Good source of potassium!
...
Captain Jack: Who has a sonic screwdriver?
The Doctor: I do!
Captain Jack: Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, "Ooh, this could be a little more sonic."?
The Doctor: What, you've never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?
...
The Doctor: Come on, we're not done yet. Assets! Assets!
Jack: Well, I've got a banana and in a pinch you could put up some shelves.

The Doctor: Well... among other things I think I just invented the banana daiquiri a couple of centuries early. Do you know they'd never even seen a banana before. Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good.

The Doctor: Oh ho ho... brilliant! It's you! You're my favorite, you are. You are the best. You know why? 'Cause you're so thick! You're Mr. Thick Thick Thickety Thickface from Thicktown, Thickania! ... And so's your dad.

:Happy smile:

18| Which Doctor (including all previous regenerations) would you most like to be the companion of, and why?
See No. 7 :)
19| Which of the following are you more scared of, the Daleks, Cybermen, or the Weeping Angles?  The angels.  Statues are an object from our everyday lives.  

20| Who are some of your favorite guest stars in the series?
It really cracked me up to see Ron Cook (Mr. Magpie) whom I already knew as Mr. Chivery!

21| What was your first experience with Doctor Who and how did you hear about the series?
Late at night, a sleepover with my bestie, and 'Silence in the Library'.  We joke that Tasha chucked me in on the deep end;D  I first heard about the series back in May when Tasha discovered it and seriously scared me by promptly becoming obsessed.

22| The Ninth Doctor said, 'Fantastic!', Ten said, 'Allons-y', and Eleven says, 'Geronimo'; what would you like to be the signature exclamation of the Twelfth Doctor?
'Let's Ride' would be kinda cool;D

23| If you were trapped in an episode, which one would it be?
I really have no idea...

24| Which is your favorite episode with each Doctor (Nine, Ten and Eleven)?
Probably Father's Day, The Girl in the Fireplace, and...?  Really can't choose, though.

25| After watching a certain Doctor Who episode, did you summon up the courage to try fish sticks and custard?
I'm still deliciously ignorant of this question's import... :grin:

  1. I'm so excited! I can finally understand most of these questions! I spent all day Saturday on my bed with my laptop introducing myself to the Season One (of the new ones) of Doctor Who and I'm now finding myself checking my library account about twice a day to see if Season Two has come in yet. :)

  3. Hello~

    I'm Bella, I'm almost 15 years old and I'm a homeschooler.... I do not follow your blog yet, but I will soon :) I follow Tasha's blog and I am participating in the DW blog party. I thought I'd check out your page!

    Yes David is awesome. I love him to bits. Nine is my *favorite* doctor... he was my first one and their is just something very special about him. But I do love Tennant. He is so fantastic and his brown eyes are SO expressive.... I also like his glasses *Fan grin*

    This party is a lot of fun. Thanks for letting those of us WITHOUT blogs participate!

    God Bless
    Bella

  4. Kellie - hooray! I know exactly how you feel - only having just started to figure out what all of this is about;D

    Ally - <3!

    Bella - Hi and welcome!
    I know, every time I see Eccleston, I think "he's just the best Doctor!" But then I see David and remember why he's my favorite:) 9 was my first Doctor, so he'll always have a special place to me. :smile:

  5. Oh dear, THAT nameless monster... Those episodes were SO scary that I completely pushed them out of my mind and it never ocurred to me when I was answering that question...

    And, oh dear, how could I have forgotten the whole banana exchange? I must rewatch Season 1! :D
