... every time you have thought about the show sometime during the day you dream about it at night.

... seeing that TWoP is recapping the show nearly gives you a heart attack.

... every time anyone says "fantastic", it makes you think of the show! Hee.

... When you make 14 posts in one day on the new Dr Who forum. This is a personal record.

...you think extra-long scarves are very very cool.

...you have a playlist on your iPod of fan remixes of the theme song. A very long playlist.

...there's a freshly poured sidewalk panel drying outside your house. You write "Bad Wolf" in it, and wait for the TARDIS.

Good one, SnoodMasterK! Anyone catch you? You get in trouble? Someone come along and smooth it out again?

When your son decides he wants a Dalek as a lodger.....and you seriously consider it for a moment.

*waves at MIQ*

...when you see that Doctor Who has been added to TWoP's shows you start jumping up and down, running around and whooping.

...any mention of the show puts the theme song in your head for at least the next 48 hours.

(Indidentally has anyone but me noticed the similarity to the X-Files theme? No? Just me then...)

Edited to fix a typo

... you now fear that you'll be forced (ha!) to listen to the Doctor Who theme online every day until you can see the new show.

... you turned the theme into a ringtone for your phone.

When you wear the scarf and hat for real. (Altough, living someplace pretty bohemianish where the show is unknown helps out for that).

.... you wear Doctor Who underpants.

... you get a Sonic Screwdriver for Christmas and manage to wear the batteries out by March.

...you read online that there are people who have Doctor Who underpants and sonic screwdrivers and you get jealous.

*waves back at hakirby*

Yep done that.

I also have "I love a Happy Medium" as the message that pops up onscreen when I turn on the phone.

Have the old Dr Who sleep shorts. hehehe.

1: You shriek out loud in the school computer lab when you see TWOP is doing recaps.
2: You own a sonic screwdriver and a light-up-and-talking TARDIS moneybox, and spend ages online trying to find the best bargains for Doctor Who merchandise.
3: You seriously consider spending 475 pounds on an exact replica of the Doctor's Jacket.
4: Whilst doodling in class, you write 'Bad Wolf' over and over.
5: You avoid apples. :D
6: 50% of your Christmas presents were Doctor Who merchandise.

I had the theme for some time as a tone but now I've changed it to an increasing TARDIS materialisation noise - it sounds almost as if the TARDIS is arriving in the room with you!

Sadder than a DW ringtone?

Ringtones linked to your wallpaper. Oh yes.

Currently my phone's wallpaper is detail from the R2 DVD cover for Tomb of the Cybermen -

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0000...02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

so my ringtone's specifically the 1967-9 re-arrangement of the theme. When the new series starts I'm going to change my wallpaper to a Tennant era image and the ringtone to the version from TCI.

As my wife would say... NEEEEERRRRDDD!!


ETA: The Official site actually aids people in this nerditry, BTW, with an extensive library of short MP3s of things like the TARDIS landing and the sonic screwdriver.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/sounds/

YKYOWDWW... this sounds to you like the best. Idea. Ever. :)
Oh, and my dad has the sonic screwdriver and TARDIS sound effects in his iTunes library. I listen to them frequently.

...you acquire comedian Bill Bailey's 'Docteur Qui' (a jazz reinterpretation of the opening theme) for your MP3 player:

C'est lui,
Dans la nuit,
Dr Qui.
Il voyage dans la Tardis -
la boite de téléphone
fantastique d'éspace!
l'interieur est beacoup plus grand que l'éxterieur!
mais ça, c'est la mystère de Docteur Qui!

Avec les daleks,
Le Docteur est superieur.
Les ennemis,
Les petits grenouilles,
Dans les poubelles mobilisantes!
Le capitaine des daleks
Il s'appelle Davros
Est-ce qui'l est demi-homme, ou demi-dalek?
Demi-dalek, ou demi-homme?
Je ne sais pas.
Encroyable!

<< Exterminez-vous! >>
<< Exterminez-vous! >>

(Exterminez-vous!)

Le Docteur gagne!
Il rit!

Hahahah!
J'ai gagné!
Parce-que je suis
Dr Qui!

marweb , there are no words for how awesome that is. Thanks for posting it!!

All thanks to Bill Bailey I think. I've found an online link if your interested in the track:

And another if you want to Dalek Up you PC with Start Up and Shut Down MP3s/wavs:

http://tv.cream.org/lookin/drwho/sounds/

...when you squee loudly over seeing the three episodes in your local newspaper's TV Times for Friday, even though you a) already knew they were coming, and b) can't watch them anyway because you don't have Sci-Fi.

Ooh, I've got "Tardis Calling..." , like you see on Roses's phone. I'd love to have the sound of the Tardis materialising as my ringtone or message alert though, that's a fantastic (heh) idea! I can't wait to see if anyone looks around confused, thinking that the Tardis will appear. Ha!

You watched possibly the worst one ever made, Time and the Rani ::shudder:: 100 times in order to make a Mystery Sciene theater Fan movie of it. I loved the finished product, bu the sight of that movie in video stores makes me physically ill. Thing's I'll do for love of Doctor who...

YKYOWDWW... you catch sight of your vacuum cleaner out out of the corner of your eye, and you immediately think, "It's a Dalek!"

YKYOWDWW... you seriously wonder how long it will be until you can see a picture of someone wearing any kind of breathing mask without shuddering a little and thinking of "Empty Child".

You check the boards every day to see how the TWOPers are reacting to this show, and eventually have to de-lurk to post yourself!

Welcome, Ladyboy! And you don't know what obsession is until you hang out on a message board surrounded by your fellow obsessees, who all act as enablers for each other.

people tell you they just watched "this Dr. Who thing on SciFi and it was pretty good" and you immediately give them all 40 years of backstory at once ("well of course The End Of The World was reminiscent both of Pertwee's Peladon stories and The Douglas Adams era and The Autons were much more menacing in Spearhead From Space but if you compare the whole thing to the 1996 Fox version in which they said the Doctor only had twelve lives . . .")

Not only do you think they're cool, you also have the pattern, and plan to knit one ASAP!

...when, in the space of less than two minutes, both the word "explode" and the beginning of a Switchfoot song have reminded you of the show.

...you develop an irrational phobia of train stations after noticing these - on the way back from seeing John Barrowman in panto, no less. Some sort of cosmic joke, surely.

Hee. Where'd you see that, RangerGirl?

...you see the boxset for sale and actually spend about five minutes just staring at the pretty Tradis box. Shiny!

Speaking of trains:

...you spend the entire journey grinning because the train you're on is called the Doctor Who.

Heh - it was at Waterloo station in London. I'm sure pillars never used to look like that.

... since being given the link to the Doctor Who Theme Repository early on in its existence, you can no longer read this DW forum without going to that site and listening to at least one version of the main title theme.

. . . you think one of the stated goals of NASA should be "to retrieve the lost episodes of Doctor Who." (They were broadcast into space! We can get them back!)

Danny, I think that's a very good idea. Hurry up, NASA, they aren't getting any closer to Earth!

...the phrase "Interstitial Time Configuration Helix" comes to mind whenever you see the London Eye:

http://www.gallifrey.org.uk/media_comedy.html

(Choose the 'Sontarans' link on 'Video Clips')

The 'Doctor calls Tom Baker' link is worth a listen too:

Jon Culshaw posing as the 4th Doctor: "Tom, I'm the Doctor..."
Tom Baker: "There must be some mistake - I'm the Doctor!"

... instead of having an alarm clock to wake you up, you use your mobile phone, and the alarm tone is "exterminate... exterminate..."

... and after reading TWOP since it was Dawson's Wrap, you finally delurk on the forum to nitpick the first recap of the series, but then spend the rest of the day talking nonsense in the BritSpeak thread.

...when given electric fans in a little gift bag at girl scouts, you immediately exchange yours, which is red, for another girl's, which is blue. You then promptly declare that the fan's name is TARDIS. And you don't mind the weird stares you recieve at all.

...when you watch the Goblet of Fire again and think Moody's mad eye makes him a Dalek.

...when you're in Queens and see graffiti everywhere and you have a sudden urge to spray-paint Bad Wolf on everything ever.

...when you build a life size replica of the TARDIS console.

Mr. Raksha's brother-in-law did that in high school (no, that's not him in the link). My boyfriend's family rocks!

You read a page in an Andromeda novelization 3 times, because you realize that one of the characters just spoke to The Doctor.

ETA: It took me the longest time to track it down, but its Waystation p.238-241 in the hardcover edition. I kept searching for the wrong phrase. The Doctor isn't specifically mentioned by name, but I think the descriptions match. The correct phrase to look for is "old man" which applies to the First Doctor.

What book is that, Lidja? And what page?

After lurking on TWOP for over a year, you join the day you find out Doctor Who's going to be recapped....

(what Pixeldiva said!)


You squeak "Terror of the Autons! They're Autons!" after about two mannequin steps in Rose.

... you wonder why it took so long for you to realize that the Solitaire icon on the Windows tool bar (when the game's open) looks like the TARDIS, especially out of the corner of your eye.
