I consider myself fortunate to have watched the science fiction television series Doctor Who from the very beginning. I prefer the programme’s early years from which my favourite story is the Patrick Troughton serial Fury From The Deep. I am also an admirer of Gerry Anderson’s puppet shows and successive live-action series, from Fireball XL5 to Space Precinct and beyond! My pick is an episode of UFO entitled The Psychobombs. I am currently addicted to US supernatural drama Medium while, in film, I’ve always adored the gothic horror of Hammer. On first hearing Roxy Music’s Virginia Plain, music, both popular and classical, became the major force in my life, so much so that I gained a BA in the subject from Nottingham University and an M.Mus in composition from Goldsmiths, University of London. Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 In C Minor - The Resurrection and Stravinsky’s The Rite Of Spring are favoured scores. Aladdin Sane by David Bowie is probably my favourite rock album. Singles of choice are Mott The Hoople’s All The Young Dudes, Steve Harley And Cockney Rebel’s Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) and No More Heroes by The Stranglers.

I don't think Gene Hunt would be too impressed...!
He's your favourite character isn't he Time Warden? (!!)
The pic was obviously taken before the punches starting flying...
He also likes his music. There were quite a few pics of him at Glastenburry in this weeks magazines (or trashy reads as I like to call them).
Gene's gonna have to get used to working with a lady in "Ashes to Ashes"!
The Master's a good character as portrayed by Roger Delgado, Anthony Ainley and Derek Jacobi!!
I didn't see much of Glasto this year but caught a bit of Arcade Fire and Björk on the Friday!
