There are may Dr. Who fans on the American side of the pond.

Can't understand how I completely missed the longest running science fiction show in the world.

Ok, here is a Q: I once saw what looked to be a clever British show about a guy who traveled back and forth between present day and WWII and was always bringing counterfeit notes back to WWII England from present day England. I think he had a wife in each time. What was that show?

'Goodnight Sweetheart'.

I've never watched it but it would seem to be the one you mention. I see that it started in 1993. That's what worries me. I recall when it started and, if pressed, would have said it had been going no more than five years. Even more worrying is that I saw the first episode of Dr Who! HELP! Where has it all gone? Unlike Dr Who and the main character in Goodnight Sweetheart, I don't have the luxury of being able to travel back in time.

I'd have been there if I had £56 million in my pocket (Merkins - ref the English couple who won that amount on the Euro lottery recently). A Dalek would love wonderful in my new penthouse apartment. I'd station beside the lift to scare unsuspecting visitors.

JB has one in his porch actually. It's customised - black with a Torchwood logo dontchaknow.

I was reading an article about the auction, bout a week ago, i think. Can't remember the item now, but one of them was tagged at a probable £2.5k. And just for a moment, a really fleeting moment, the thought 'I have that' went through my head.

Just for a fraction of a second, the idea crossed my mind to spend a sizeable chunk of what Dad left me on Who stuff... *grins* That wouldn't be good.

At what point does fangurl obsession become something sectionable?

When you've got nowhere left to put it all and you feature in the 'and finally' spot of a regional TV news programme.

In a similar vein, you can make your own Cylon Teddy Bear. If someone gave me this for Valentines Day, I'd probably love them forever!

My sister made one of the guys from MST3K, the one with the gumball machine head.

A snip at £20,400/$32,500

Hundreds of Doctor Who fans crammed into a London auction room on Wednesday to bid on classic costumes and props from the BBC sci-fi show.

The most expensive item of the day was a Dalek from the 1985 story Revelation of the Daleks - which sold for £20,400, including the auctioneer's fee.
