I didn't discover the good Doctor until the mid-80's when a wonderful Whovian artist, Gail Bennett, convinced me first to watch the show, then to do artwork based on it and then to go to my first sci-fi convention to sell my paintings....thereby changing my life's path :) Over the years, I met all of the living Doctors and had the enormous fun of taking Colin Baker and the Brigidier to Muir Woods to see the redwoods. But my heart will always belong to Jon Pertwee ;) How I envy those of you who were fortunate enough to grow up with the show!
