'Doctor Who' sparks the fire in my soul. It lifts me witn its inspirational stories. The doctor doesn't need a gun to solve any problems, he uses his brain. For over fifty years this 'idiot in a box' has not only defeated aliens and menacing megalomaniacs from destroying the universe, he has also discovered new and dangerous worlds. His inquisitive nature, compassionate streak, and a deep determination to never give up and never give is truly wonderful. For me the doctor would have to be one of my favorite fictional heroes ever because he doesn't need to be like James Bond any kill you with guns, he will always try to talk and convice because he believes in the good of everyone. Watch this spech below.


That was from the just completed 9th series in an epidose entitled 'The Zygon Inversion'. As you can see from that clip the doctor did not need to point a gun at their heads, all he did was just talk to them. That's all. And it worked. Now granted it doesn't always work because there is evil that can't be reasoned with, but I think that clip shows why the doctor is such a hero. Because he cares so much and he never will stop caring. Even if everyone else has given up he will still keep on going. Another example of this being in 'Heaven Sent' (also from the excellent 9th season which some critics have claimed to be the show's best ever which is pretty good considering it has like 35 seasons) in which the doctor spends billions and bilions of years punching through twenty feet of material that is four hundred times harder than diamond. The character of the doctor is one of the main reasons that i love this show.

Yes, touch of frost and only fools and horses have come up. Are you a Sir David Jason fan?

I just noticed you were, and I was wondering if one of his would make the top three:) I guessed The Doctor would make an appearance and Press gang is the odds on number 2 :)
 
2- AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT ​

As I have said before, Agatha Christie is my favourite author ever, and this tv show, 'Agatha Christie's Poirot' comes closest to capturing the spirit of her books more than any other adaptation that i can think of. This wonderful show is such a comfort for me to watch. Plus i love looking at all the different period pieces of the 1930's (the books ranged from about 1916 to about the mid 1970's so they sensibly decided to condense it into a much more manageable time period). Yes i know all the murderers and how the people were killed. But to me it is still thrilling to watch Poirot hunt down the killer using his 'little grey cells', and I also love his face when he solves it. When, after puzzling for days and days over who did the murder his eyes suddenly spark to life and he knows that he has solved it. That gives me goosebumps.

I first came across Hercule Poirot when I was in year 9. From what I remember my class had to do a report from a book in the library. So I recall researching and looking for a book when I came across something titled 'The ABC Murders'. Intrigued by the title and enchanted by the musty old smell of the book I picked it up and started to read it. At first I read a word, then another word, then a sentence, then a paragraph, then a page, then another page, then a chapter, then another chapter, and then before I knew it Hercule Poirot had entered my brain and made its home in me forever. The tv show, while not being as good as the books, is still excellent viewing with some first rate acting and cracking mysteries. So give it a chance please!
