Sixty years of brilliance...
For a young boy who wanted to escape, a hero without a gun or a uniform was perfect. And as a Canadian, I am filled with pride (oh, Sydney, we love you). It was our creation...heading out into the universe.
Step on board, and let's materialize.

"The Invisible Cell,"
Sometime in the distant past, in a little town settled among moving slopes and murmuring streams, there carried on with a young lady named Lily. Since early on, Lily had felt the heaviness of assumptions pushing down on her. Her folks, while benevolent, fantasized seeing Lily become an effective specialist like her dad or a legal counselor like her mom. They accepted these callings would carry distinction and monetary dependability to their loved ones.

The Ugliest Building
Mark Twain called the building I work in, “The ugliest building in America.” I agree. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building isn’t the largest in Washington, D.C., but its imposing façade makes it feel like it is. I work for the Office of E-Government and Information Technology. I have a satellite office in the bowels of this monstrosity. Working in this building gives us quick access to both the President and Vice-President because they also have offices here. This access may be why I’m in this situation, or maybe it’s the project I’m assigned to, or both.

Well - I did not know that Dr. Who is in part due to a Canadian... nice to know!
A show always close to my heart since the 70s, my dream was to be involved in the show when I was a child. As an adult and quite by accident from 2005-2008 I ended up being a background artist on 9 episodes, just goes to show dreams can come true.
I did not know Sydney Newman was Canadian! Excellent review. Paul pointed me here; I just did one on the show, and had no idea you had too!
I've heard of Dr. Who but have never watched any of the episodes. Never heard of Canadian film producer Sydney Newman until now. Thanks for the insight and inspiration to Google search Dr. Who and find more evidence that Canadians rock.
I've never actually watched Dr. Who, but I was once upon a time desperately in love with someone who watched it faithfully.
I've never watched any Dr Who, lol. I have no idea under what rock I've been living in!
I ADORE Doctor Who! Really nicely written here!
I used to watch the original dr who
love the addition of the link, great choice. best show on tv ❤
good point.. i think dr who was one of the only first scifi heros ever without a gun or a uniform
