Haha, that's awesome actually. Wish my mom and grandma would knit me such cool sweaters 😜

That's really cool! Looks really good so far. I know what you mean about Win7 paint; it's nicer for doodling but way worse for precise stuff. I actually copied the Paint executable from a WinXP machine onto my main Win7 system and renamed it Paint Classic, and I find myself using it fairly often.

Thank you 😀 btw, I think it'll have "It's bigger on the inside" letters on the back 😀

Besides messing with some hardware from time to time, I love a lot of other great things, which includes Doctor Who series and knitting. It's not like I'm some granny, I'm 21 years old and male, I just feel so relaxed during this knitting jobs and after that. That's fantastic :)

Being able to relax is important. Few people truly understand how. :/

That is very nice. Hats off.
I found myself enjoying Dr. Who quite a bit myself. It's a little goofy at times, but overall a great TV show.
That is inspiring me to actually get off my butt and start working on my hobbies again to.

Wow, this thing inspired someone! Cool!)

I finished the knitting the windows and the letters "Police box" today! Prepare yourselves 😁

Damn, I should get into some proper hobbies rather than just moping around and surfing the web all day. 😜

why not a jumper of the real star of the show

Okay, I didn't have much time recently, I finished the front part weeks ago, but was to lazy to update the thread... Here comes:

The front part is supposed to be wide, wider than the rear part. There will also be a wide collar, or whatever you call it. I love cleavage on others, but I don't feel like wearing one. 😁

Amazing. 😎

Very cool. My wife loves dr who and would look very nice in one of these (cleavage version + 1)

Behold... 😁

The sleeves and the back were made by an outsoucer, namely my Mom 😁

Very nice.

I like Dr. Who myself (perhaps a bit too much, I'll find myself watching re-runs when I should be doing other things).

I watched the Biopic that the BBC did recently on the early years with the folks that launched the show, very interesting stuff and lots of things I never knew (like how the Taris interior came about).

Now here is one thing that confuses me a bit. I guess in Britain it has always been a kids' show? And it is only recently with the advent of cable and sattelite TV that it comes up on anything other than PBS (public broadcast for those of you outside the US...basically govt. funded tv) and thus gets a much broader exposure.
Therefore, it seems much less of a "nerd" thing these days. I still have fond memories of staying up late on Sunday night to watch Doctor Who on the local PBS station. Anyway, back to my point: it was originally a kids' show and I guess to some extent still is *but* seems to have very adult themes for what is ostensibly a "kiddy" show. Maybe this is they aren't as over-protective in Britain, not sure. But people actually die on the show and some shows have very bittersweet resolutions (as opposed to, say, every episode of the A-team. Where somehow after unloading a a ton of ammunition in a firefight, no one is actually killed).

Anyway, I always thought this difference was interesting. And there is a certain amount of sex appeal in the new show (although I guess that's always been there, since the female companions are almost always attractive if not outright scantily clad). One buddy of mine described River Song as ten pounds of MILF in a 5 pound bag.

But anyway I've gone wayyy off track. Awesome sweater, wish I had knitting skills I'd finally have a Tom Baker era scarf, 🤣.

FWIW, in case it wasn't clear, I don't consider it a children's program. I always thought it was aimed at the 15-30 crowd that was into sci-fi, that was why I was surprised to hear it described that way by one of the cast. To me it seems the show and the character of the Doctor has appeal across all age groups.

And again, awesome sweater.

Me and my girlfriend watch Dr. Who almost every night lately.

Though we're on Season 6 now and Japanese Hulu doesn't have anything newer (or any of the inter-season etc. specials) 🙁

Watching how dry episode 1 of the original Dr. Who series is, I have trouble believing it was ever a kids' show.
Also, some random 70s episode I saw on Youtube that seemed to just be 36 hours of cricket...

🤣 that would have to be an episode with Peter Davison, don't remember which one. But cricket is like watching paint dry (to me, anyway...and I think baseball is slow-paced, a cricket match would probably put me to sleep).
Of the classic Doctors, I prefer Tom Baker, then Davison. Pertwee and Colin Baker are sort of a tie. I know everyone says Tom Baker, but he was the first actor I saw in the role so he sort of stuck with me. I didn't care much for Troughton. I don't think I ever saw any William Hartnell episodes, those may not have been available for broadcast for some reason or, more likely, they may not have thought US audiences would have patience for a B&W program in the 80s.

Of the "modern" Doctors I suppose Tennant is my favorite. But Matt Smith isn't bad either. I don't now how Capaldi is going to turn out, he has big shoes to fill. I really wish they hadn't made John Hurt a one-off, it would have been really interesting to see what he did with character.

Companions: Peri (Nicola Bryant) and Amy Pond, hands down. I think Peri just because I thought she was cute as hell and Amy Pond has an intesting character as well as being hot (Peri was a smidge whiny if I recall).

I grew up with Davison, Colin Baker and McCoy as Doctor Who. I think it's pretty safe to say that Doctor Who sucked big time in the 80s. It wasn't until recently I could actually go back and watch more old doctor who. I am really impressed with the Hartnell and Troughton years. Some of the Pertwee era seems pretty decent too, but I really don't get why everyone likes the Tom Baker episodes so much. They probably should had stopped making Doctor Who after season 6.

I'm not as much a hardcore fan as you guys, I've seen the very first two episodes with William Hartnell, which did not impress me, and all the media that came since the appearance of Paul McGann.

I have a lot of fun watching Star Trek The Original series, which runs almost beyond slowest pace I can currently enjoy. To my experience, the first episodes of Doctor Who are even slower :\

My favourite doctors are probably McGann and Tennant, my favourite companion is Freema Agyeman. I wish we could see more of McGann and Agyeman in the series.
