    Default Dalek I Loved You?

    Just spotted this while browsing around. Would this be a bit of bandwagon jumping? And the write-up suggests a bit of JN-T bashing as well?

    I keep thinking the name Nick Griffiths rings a bell, but I don't know why.

    He calls Dr Who "an anti-social obsession".

    We all know that's not true...

    Nick Griffiths watched his first Doctor Who aged four and a bit. He would have hidden behind the sofa but it was back against the wall and his parents didn't let him move furniture so he hid behind a cushion instead. He's since been told by his mum and dad that they didn't have a sofa only armchairs. So this book should really be called Behind the Armchair, but that didn't sound right.And so began a life long obsession. When Doctor Who started getting rubbish (after Tom Baker basically) he nearly escaped into the world of music and girls until he discovered someone selling tapes of old episodes in the small ads and that was that again.Only in the last few years has an anti-social obsession become something he can earn a living from as a journalist and happily this coincided with Doctor Who getting good again. Plus he has a son now so he can claim he's watching it for him. Oh and his son's called Dylan not Gallifray or Davros.
    Usual rubbish then?
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    It does sound like utter drivel. Sounds like "everything I learned about life I learned from Star Trek" only with Dr Who.

    Sounds very jumping on the bandwagon.
