The History of The Doctor

'Doctor Who' is a popular science fiction television programme which started back in 1962. It was actually originally intended to be an educational series, but turned out to be a brilliant series where a time traveller known as 'The Doctor' travels through time and space in the Tardis, a 'police-box'. William Hartnell played the very first Doctor and his first adventure was going back 100,000 years to help cavemen discover fire. This first show was of course in black and white but it was the title sequence and theme tune which made it an instant success. Today the theme tune and title sequences is still based on the original but obviously enhanced with the latest audio and visual technology.
In 1965 some difficulties were arising. Firstly the then producer Verity Lambert was replaced by John Wiles. This became a problem when he didn't get on with William Hartnell. Also William was having trouble remembering his lines because of the early stages of the arteriosclerosis. Discussions led to the actor agreeing it would be best if he left. This gave the writers a headache, how to write him out of the show and replace him with another doctor? This became very significant as the story editor Gerry Davis came up with an ingenious way of writing the actor out. Because the character was an alien being, they decided that he would have the power to change his body when it became worn out or seriously injured, they called this process 'renewal' but it later went on to become known as 'regeneration'. This clever story line gave the show longevity and paved the way for many more actors to play 'The Doctor'.
Patrick Troughton played the second doctor through till the 1970's when Joe Pertwee took over. The role was then given to Tom Baker who went on to become the most popular and best remembered. The 80's saw Peter Davison becoming the doctor number 5 followed by Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy. Other Doctors followed but it wasn't until 2000s when the show came back with a vengeance. Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant were very popular. These actors, with the help of new writers and modern day television special effects, managed grab the attention of many new fans.
The beauty of the show is that it's now become a classic and iconic. It's a simple TV show which has captured the hearts of many fans of all ages. Families watch the show and parents tell their children of when they grew up and who their favourite doctor was. Everyone has their favourite Doctor, mine was Tom Baker as a child, but more recently I liked David Tennant.
There are not many shows that can be enjoyed and shared between the generations, but Doctor Who does this. If you're a fan you can buy like books, research and watch the spins offs, buy toys, DVDs, and they even did a film the odd film. You can get everything from stationary to lamp shade covers. If you really want to get in close on the action you can now even go on a tour of some of the studios and locations of some of the most famous episodes.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies

When it comes to action heroes there is no one better than Arnie. He fills the screen with his huge stature and perfectly placed one-liners. He has played characters ranging from a Kindergarten teacher to a US Marshall. You cannot mistake his voice when you hear it and more that one comedian or actor has imitated his Austrian accent. He is a movie icon because he never dies in any of his films but he does plenty of killing.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies always have him flexing his muscles because that's his trademark. In The Terminator Arnold plays the cyborg sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor. When the movie was first introduced there was something odd about it because you're not sure how it's going to play out. After a while you get the sense that Sarah Conner is no match for The Terminator. The roll that Arnold plays was spot on because it called for a robotic type person,and Arnie with his huge presence on screen and his famous line "I'll be back," made the movie so memorable that it's been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation. It's his most famous role and the one he best known for.
Movie Reviews for Predator were mixed because the beginning starts out normal but then it weaves into a science fiction/action flick. Arnold plays a former special forces Green Beret and with his huge muscles no one would argue the role wasn't made for him. He leads a band of gun toting friends into the jungle where they get picked off one by one by the unseen Predator. His size is dwarfed to the person who played the Predator but that didn't stop Arnie from trapping the alien and then finding out he's going to be blown up if he doesn't run away fast enough. He spends most of his time hunting the hunter.
Even though he's got an onscreen presence as a guy who has got it all under control Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies can be mazes in which you are finding your way out with him. Total Recall was a science fiction movie that had you guessing all the way down the line. It takes place on Mars and Earth and you're not sure if Arnold's character, Douglas Quaid, is the good guy or the bad one. Actually he's both, so he gets to play Quaid as the good guy and Hauser as the bad guy. He has some great lines such as "My name is not Quaid!," when in fact it really is.
True Lies was one of the most expensive movies ever made for its time, but when you've got the number one action/comedy star of all time it's alright to spend a little bit of money. Harry Tasker is a boring software salesman by day, or so his wife thinks. His action scenes are courtesy of James Cameron who directed him in The Terminator I and II. Arnie gets to be more of an actor when he isn't doing action scenes, but when he is, watch out! He has a famous one liner at the end of his battle with a terrorist, "You're fired".
Overall, you can't go wrong with Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies because he gets to play all the roles we would love to. He has comedic delivery, and when funny lines come from such a huge character you can't help but laugh at him. How often do you get to do that? Movie Reviews might not like every film he puts out but you can always count on a Hollywood studio to deliver with some action and Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies always make you feel bigger than life.
