Man, I grew up in Sacramento in the 1980’s and KVIE is where I got my first dose of Who when they debuted “Robot”. That pledge break footage really took me back. :)

I actually worked a pledge drive for a Gainesville/UF channel… if I recall back around 1990-91… Guy they brought in to host it wasn’t a Who fan but a radio talk show host who kept thinking in terms of 1950s pulp scifi novels. Sheesh. :/

I agree, painful. I’m a huge fan of the Doctor since I first watched the early B/W programs on LA’s public station in the late 60’s and later when Tom was the Doctor on public TV in Phoenix. As much as I support anyone who gets wrapped up in this program, it still is a bit painful to see the results.

Even though I’ve been to Gallifrey more than once, I don’t dress up, maybe I am missing out on all of the real fun.

Maybe the video is only painful if it is a reflection of some part of yourself that you keep bottled up.

Long live the Doctor and his fans.
