    Doctor Who Trading Card

    Card #24 is the Densy Fisher Doctor Who line, it may seem weird to do a Mego line here considering the Megomuseum cards but I'm not sure when we're ever going to get around to this line and me being a monster fan, just had to do it. I consider it a foreign mego subset.
    Growing up in Ontario in the 70s, Doctor Who was a big thing, it aired on TVO and was hosted by a guy called "Doctor Dator". I remember being destroyed when Jon Pertwee died and turned into Tom Baker thinking "this new guy sucks!".



    While these Denys Fisher Mego figures were sold in the UK, Italy and Australia, I really think the Canadian Mego Distributor dropped the ball in not releasing them here. I think they would have sold fantastic, I don't know anybody that grew up in Ontario that doesn't know who Doctor Who is.

        I love it. i want to sponsor a Who card for a MM series. but i'll take one of these for now. now make a card of Leela fending off the 3 villians, and the whole set will be represented.

              I think it helped that most of us grew up watching TVO children's programming after school just before Doctor Who came on around suppertime.

              I remember diving for the dial on the TV as a youngster after watching Read-A-Long or The Polk-a-dot Door or whatever because that Base-y music and the opening swirling "Time Tunnel" just scared the Bejeebees out of me. I think it was around the time they turned the opening into techno music and stars that I began watching 'cause it seemed a bit more "Star Wars" and they had a robot Dog. I think the Key to Time were some of my first episodes, but it's all a bit hazy.

              They must have gotten rid of Dr Dator by the time I was old enough to appreciate Doctor Who. I do have very fond memories of Elwy Yost (sp?) who hosted Magic Shadows and played old movie serials like Captain Marvel in the time-slot after Doctor Who.
