Respectful Insolence

"A statement of fact cannot be insolent." The miscellaneous ramblings of a surgeon/scientist on medicine, quackery, science, pseudoscience, history, and pseudohistory (and anything else that interests him)

Who (or what) is Orac?

orac.jpg Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)

Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.

45 years of Doctor Who

Category: Entertainment/cultureScience fiction/fantasyTelevision
Posted on: August 17, 2008 3:16 PM, by Orac

After seeing some Doctor Who silliness yesterday, I also came across this great tribute to 45 years of Doctor Who. Since it's a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and I'm again too lazy to post anything substantive until Monday, here we go again. It's every Who story compressed into less than 8 minutes. Truly, a tour de force for surveying the evolution of the show.

Great video - and I speak as someone who remembers watching "An Unearthly Child" the first time around in November '63.

Nice Doctor Who overview.

Orac, the Beeb is playing 3 hour-long audioplays for the 30th Anniversary of Blake's 7! Check it out here:

What´s left to say is you are very kind, because you posted this awesome video! It´s great to be remembered by the creepie stuff we were watching at when we were young. And of course there are many great pieces I didn´t know about, but certainly have to watch soon.

Thanks, Orac, for this. I have had the Doctor on the brain lately, too. I just crocheted a dalek ("Extermiknit!") which is now hanging in my car, all cuddly and evil (along with a jellyfish and two hyperbolic plane models, all crocheted). I am working on a TARDIS now, in blue thread.

No, I do NOT have a Tom Baker scarf, but I do plan on making Rose's Doomsday wristwarmers someday.

While I haven't seen them all I'd have to say my favorite episode thus far is from the (surprise, surprise) Tom Baker era called "City of Death". Thanks for this.
