Today is the day that, forty-five years ago, Doctor Who first appeared on television screens. First appearing at 5:15pm GMT (a few minutes late due to news broadcasts of the death of JFK), Doctor Who transformed the youth of Great Britain.
It's more than just a television show, to many, it's a cultural phenomenon. Before this day, there were no sonic screwdrivers, no Daleks, no Sontarans, no glowing green maggots, and blue police boxes were just blue police telephone boxes.
( Cut for tl;dr, and a lot of MJ-loves-Doctor-Who rambling! )
