Doctor Who and Mythology, by Lance Parkin

A good short piece about Doctor Who's place in contemporary culture, by Lance Parkin, over at lostluggage.org.uk.

A time machine story

Reported in yesterday's Daily Telegraph; and the second of these to be noticed by me in the news media in a week. The aspect that catches my attention is the statement that "Dr Who is still fighting the time war", which is I think the first time that I've seen this item of the mythology, effectively introduced by Russell T Davies, treated as a standard aspect of the character in a newspaper article not written to promote or comment on the series.
