If you are a fan of the BBC Series Doctor Who, you are probably enjoying the eighth season since the reboot, now starring Peter Capaldi as The Doctor. If you aren’t, I’d rather you didn’t read this piece, since you may want to alert the authorities about my mental stability.
This is a work of fandom. I’ve been a fan of the show since 1978 and have passed this affliction, er, passion, on to my kids now.
Is it possible that the darkest force for evil has taken over the true force for good? Last Sunday it was announced live world-wide that the most important role in the universe would soon be played by Peter Capaldi. Yes, I am talking about Doctor Who, the international sensation of a telly show that has become Britain’s biggest export since smug satisfaction. But like the show, there may be something more sinister afoot …
Since the announcement, fans have clamored to learn more about the man. It turns out he was a “super-fan” as a kid who annoyed the BBC staff so much they wished the Daleks would ex-term-inate! him. The head of the fan club promised to “sort him out”. But what did get through was a letter to the Radio Times praising a recent show and mourning the death of the first man to play the Master, Roger Delgado. Young Capaldi was not just a fan of the show, he was also a fan of the Master?
Could it be that this appointment is nothing more than the culmination of a 40-year plot by the Master to take over the Doctor’s regeneration cycle through a cultivated minion?
