“All Doctor Who fans have this very interesting relationship with change. You dread it, but you learn to love it.” RACHEL TALALAY
What was the highlight of your Christmas viewing? For many of the people who visited our house in December it was Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi. I have happy memories of working with Lucasfilm – they still send me a Christmas card every year – so I hope the old firm won’t mind me saying that Star Wars never quite replaced Doctor Who in my affections. But for me it was never really a binary thing – it’s perfectly possible to like both. Even in the late 1970s, when the Star Wars films were arguably at their peak and Doctor Who was arguably getting a bit silly, I stuck up for Destiny of the Daleks while most of my classmates were raving about The Empire Strikes Back.
