... 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.

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

...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...)

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

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.ama...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.

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!

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...

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!
