I Like Working With Numbers
Yes, I know that you remember. I also I find it hard to do so. Perhaps if I put the face of the actor who has played in the episodes that were broadcast in Italy ... but you can not. But I can get the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/doctors/doctor4.shtml. Does not tell you anything? Let's start with the letters (even if it is in midi and rearranged them an idea ... however, I guarantee): http://www.toucansolutions.com/pat/drwho/drwho.mid. Still nothing? Do not worry, it's normal.
Doctor Who was created for the BBC in 1963, primarily as a children's show, but not all. From the producers is also seen as an educational tool, targeting the young. After 26 seasons and almost seven hundred episodes, Doctor Who has become a cult figure and gave birth to a very American story ... but I will talk about this at the end.
Doctor Who is not human. E 'was driven from his home planet (Gallifrey) for interfering with history during a time travel. "Time Lord", in fact, prevented the destruction of the earth ... He has two hearts, endures extreme temperatures without batting an eyelid. Travel back in time with a machine called TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space), which apart from this also allows him to regenerate itself through its use as a side effect ... that has to physically change it and alter its minimum personality. Wonderful invention of the authors to justify the succession of different actors (in the end be even seven for the BBC, a film based on the series [Peter Cushing] and one for FOX, which in May of '96 sent the first new episodes dedicated to the doctor).
arrived in Italy only the fourth series, I think it was 1982 or thereabouts. For me this has the face of Doctor Who Tom Baker, who played from 1974 to 1981. Long thick curly hair and colored scarf around his neck, this version of Doctor Who is characterized by humor, great intelligence and an unassailable morality. He fights with his enemy, the Daleks, trying to prevent its creation. Doctor Who reminds me of the black and white television, the football field full of dust and good intentions, pens, leaking ink, the anxiety of the questions the next day ... and many other things that are gone. In many
exchange the appearance of the TARDIS for the classic red English phone booth: it is not. In reality it is a "Police Box", ie a blue phone booth that the British police used to communicate when there were no radios. Given that the TARDIS travels through time and space and exists in both space and time of departure in their new one, its exterior dimensions do not coincide with the internal ones. The "Police Box", in fact, inside it contains a large number of rooms, laboratories, dormitories, a closet containing clothes for every period of history ... an almost magical place visited, in fact. Especially if you have little more than fifteen years and lots of imagination.
Between Doctor Who and the TARDIS is almost a symbiotic relationship: only Doctor Who can guide you, providing some of the knowledge necessary to activate the SSIE (Semi-Sentient Intelligent Entity), which controls its operation. A novel theory of time explains how it works ... we would need another review to describe it all. But the important thing is that the TARDIS and the Doctor travels through time with him in the difficult task of avoiding that the Earth is destroyed.
In England and the United States has been successful, and it is huge, comparable to that of Star Trek (and in an episode of STNG [3.25 "Transformations"] is an explicit homage to the Doctor: the infirmary on a wall you can see the pattern reversed in the TARDIS, that pattern will reappear in later episodes), and produced a series of videotapes, magazines, comics, gadgets ... and audio CDs. At the beginning I had said I would tell a very American story, no?
The BBC, as indeed were all the television time, make the show on videotape. After an episode airs, this was passed to the marketing, he was looking for buyers abroad. If the product was not required by any tape was recycled, in a period longer or shorter. Obviously for Doctor Who has been the case. In 1978, the unification videotape of two stores, managed so far by two different bodies of the BBC, made it possible to ascertain the disappearance of about 109 episodes of the show. Some time later, after painstaking research and cataloging a large number of fans of the Doctor, has begun the phase of reconstruction of the missing material. Driven by the desire to see the lost episodes, many professionals have created more than a team that is dedicated to this work: for example http://www.restoration-team.co.uk/ this or that other : http://www.telesnaps.com/. They collected the trailers of the bets lost by other BBC broadcasts, they found photos of the scene, behind the scenes films ... Where there There are pictures, not even amateur (because the first home VCRs had not yet arrived in the homes) were able to reconstruct the score: who among you has not seen a movie on a tape cassette (or not at least thought about it) ? Without using all this technology ... a tape recorder held close to the TV and go ... I did this (and somewhere I still have boxes of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and the "Annie Hall"). From home recording (they finally tracked down at least four people who had almost all of decent quality) audio CDs are born ... that as all the material concerning the Doctor Who are now in the Anglo-Saxon world, objects of worship immediately.
