R.I.P. Caroline John (1940-2012)
The BBC announced this morning of the passing of Caroline John earlier this month, known to the Whouniverse as Liz Shaw, the Third Doctor's first companion.
Caroline John, 1940-2012
I always liked Liz Shaw-she was always one of my top 5 favorite companions. I was bummed when she was only in Who for one season, and was tickled to death with the character name drop in The Sarah Jane Adventures. In fact, after Katy Manning did her guest stint in The Death of the Doctor, I was secretly hoping that they would find a way to bring Liz Shaw's character into Sarah Jane's world. All three of Pertwee's companions on SJA? That would've been awesome!
I think one of my favorite Liz Shaw moments would be in her first story, Spearhead from Space, when she looked at the Brigadier, cocked an eyebrow and said 'what? You investigate little green men?' (ok, I'm summing that up badly, but the look on her face was priceless!)
What was your favorite Liz Shaw moment?
Rest in peace, Caroline.

DWFO #4: Dalek Suite
Just thought I would share the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra's latest work on the eve of the Grandview Theatre's showing of The Chase!
The Dalek Suite!
I would have to say this piece was the most fun to work on-and is one of my favorites. The next piece will be "The Impossible Astronaut Suite" and I'm really excited about this! The suite will include bits from "I Am the Doctor" (DWFO's first piece)-I didn't join the DWFO until the 2nd piece, but I really enjoyed "I Am the Doctor" Looking forward to playing at least part of it in the suite!
We are always looking for new members! I'll be posting the next promo video as soon as it's available, but you can also follow our fearless leader Stephen on YouTube at socksofbalhoon. :)

The Chase at Grandview!
Everyone please join us Tomorrow at 9pm for the FREE showing of Doctor
Who!
First up is the classic story from 47 years ago this month, 1965's The Chase.
The Daleks are closing in on the Doctor in a chase through both the universe and through time itself. For having created their own time machine, the Daleks are able to pursue the TARDIS from the planet of Aridius, on to the Empire State Building in 1966, to the Marie Celeste in 1872 and even into a haunted house within someone's nightmare.
The Chase is a classic journey tale taking the TARDIS crew across the universe. It also has it's funny moments and was almost made into the third Dalek film of the 1960's.
Join the Doctor, Ian, Barbara, Vicki, and introducing Steven to the TARDIS team.
See you there!
