Any other Doctor Who fans?

Hey all!
Astro's one of the few characters I've really fallen in love with very quickly, and it's a love I know will last (hopefully a lifetime). Few other things have that power over me, but one of my other great loves is The Doctor. If you're not familiar, he's an alien (Time Lord) who travels through space and time, which probably sounds dull if you're not familiar with it, but it's anything but (and anything but what you'd expect also). Wondering if there are any other Doctor Who fans on here?
I started being a whovian in 2005 when I watched the first season of the new series (brought back to television after ceasing in the late 80's and 90's, but not a remake, a continuation) and I've been onboard with it (and the spinoffs - Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures) ever since. Very quirky, entertaining, fun, and I almost think could be compatible with the Astro Boy universe. I can certainly see Astro being an ally of The Doctor, and for a while (he still pops up now and again), The Doctor of old had a robotic dog companion, K-9.
At any rate, Astro fans might want to check it out. It's from the BBC and clever, funny, very VERY ambitious and big, with great character design and great writing. It's also a little campy (which I like) and is a slight acquired taste, but it only took me one episode. =oP Another interesting fact - the original Doctor Who *also* aired the first time on TV in 1963, the same year as the astro boy anime. I'm just starting to get into the classic series now - there's sooOo much (some even lost, but there are reconstructions at least for most of that). ^.^
