Festival Recommendation

[andrewducker]

If you've ever looked forward to something so much you just couldn't contain yourself.

If you've ever had something in your life that kept you going when everything else that let you down.

If you've ever felt that what you did wasn't so very different, and couldn't understand why other people didn't see it.

If you like Doctor Who.

Go and see Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf.

Went to see it yesterday evening, as it happens, and thoroughly enjoyed it. He was rather preaching to the quire in my case, although I wasn't the hardest-core DW fan there (there was a guy on the row in front who had the Great Seal of Rassilon tattooed on his shoulder). But even taking that into account, it was really good. Toby Hadoke's quietly humourous personal account of his lifelong fond obsession with Doctor Who, how it inspired him, educated him, and helped him learn how to bond with his children.

I thought it was very poignant - touching in rather the same way as much of RTD's Dr Who in fact.

Yes, certainly very touching (especially the bit where he describes how he and his son both cried when K9 got blown up), and poignant in places. But also very uplifting - his description of his joy at hearing that DW was being brought back, for example, and also his pride that his son's inherited knowledge of the series had earned him cool-kid status at school.
