Can it really be sixty years since the first episodes of Doctor Who were transmitted? Oh yes, absolutely. It will be sixty years and counting for all of us mere mortals walking the slow path. Look at the character studies of the main characters produced for that pilot episode. Even after all these years they have the power to inspire a sense of the uncanny.We were not on Earth for very long before taking off on that long journey througyh space and time.With the vast amount of water under the bridge and the accumulated weight of decades of continuity it is all too easy to forget how alien and otherworldly The Doctor and Susan were.Their names did not ground them, not with the whole of time and space beckoning to them.
And to think we went along for the ride..
Which continues and still manages to take us to new places..
