The Fifth Doctor
25 mm
I'll admit I've never actually watched an episode of Doctor Who featuring Peter Davison as the Fifth doctor; my knowledge of the stories comes entirely from reading the Terrence Dicks novelizations as a child. (I think the last time I saw this actor he was elbow deep in a cow...). Still, I've been looking forward to painting my Doctors, including this one who wears celery.

You never seen a Davison series?
ReplyDeleteFuck sake mate, your a 'Who-noob'
Serously though, why the fascination with it?
Ouch. "Noob"? That cuts, man, like a knife. The trouble with a series that went on for decades is that it's hard to NOT be a noob.
ReplyDeleteAs for the fascination... I'm not sure. A hero who uses brains over violence, in a series that pulls out most of the stops on weirdness and sometimes cheese, but still manages to have compelling characters, great writing and emotional impact. What's NOT to like?
I cut my teeth on Peter Davison's Doctor, unlike most of my contemporaries who came to love the show during the Tom Baker years.
ReplyDeleteThe mini seems to have quite a "hair shelf" going on.
