I have climbed some of the highest mountains in the world. I've also, jumped out of a plain at 18,000ft. Nothing but nothing was as scary as the ride on the back of a moped in Hanoi just then though. Fuck me. Wow😳.
I started watching in 2007 when a friend recommended it to me and have been hooked since. You should check out the David Tennant years. They're some of the best, IMO. I haven't watched any of the OG pre-reboot episodes.
I've seen up to the end of the Peter Capaldi years. David Tennant is probably my favorite Doctor but I think the Matt Smitch seasons might be better overall. The chemistry between him, Amy, Rory and River is probably the best tv I've ever watched.
