I remember arguing at school about the tune, particularly how long you should go bumdy bum bumdy bum bumdy bum bumdy bum before you got on to the woooooooeeeeeee bumdidy bum bit."
Ok, this made me very happy. There were only a select few in my school that would even know what this meant.
Good read, thank you for posting it. I'm not sure that I care about the argument if it is science fiction or not, but I do love the writing (especially most early Doctors). The Tenant episodes really took it up a notch, in my opinion, with much deeper character development of the Doctor's dark past and psyche.
