RD I–”Waiting for God”, or David Ex Machina

First off, today is my birthday. Let joy be unconfined, and let there be feasting and worldwide celebration, and ice cream cake. I’m already doing that right now, with some classic Doctor Who: Jon Pertwee’s “The Time Monster”, featuring Robert Delgado’s excellent turn as the Master (it’s so hard to find someone who can play an unmitigated bastard so well). Have I mentioned that Jon Pertwee’s Doctor is marvelous? That whole era of Who is chockablock with energetic, somewhat campy fun, and none of it would work without someone like Pertwee in the lead. All in all, I’m much impressed by the classic Who I’ve taken in so far. And I haven’t even seen anything by Tom Baker yet.
