Go on. You can feel it, can’t you? The obsessiveness, the need to know more, the constant worry that perhaps you’ve missed some subtle reference in a story that actually speaks volumes – International Electromatics, Jamie McCrimmon? If only you’d known what the Doctor was talking about.
Give in. You know you want to.
The Beginner’s Guide to Doctor Who has arrived at the BBC web site. Lots of lovely Flash animations, no text to read, just handy narration plus Daleks on badly animated flying things. Everything you could hope for and a whole lot less (thankfully).

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
