Maybe I am a little old fashioned...

I'll admit it, I love myself some vintage. As much as I love the twenty first century and all the opportunities and technology it brings I just like the nostalgia of the past; the clothes, the music and the simpler life. Nothing makes me happier than staying in on a cold winters night and watching an Audrey Hepburn film or Casablanca.

I've been thinking though, could I have actually lived back then? I really don't think so, there's so many things in my life that I wouldn't have the guts to give up, like the internet and all the positive aspects of our society as it is. Would I enjoy the movies and clothes so much if I had actually been there?

Though if I had some sort of Doctor Who time machine (including the delightful Matt Smith maybe?) I would love to visit...

The early 20's in America - the fun, the flappers and the cool jazz music.

The 50's - it just seems so inviting, I don't know why but I would have loved to see what it was like living the 1950's lifestyle.

The 1960's - THE CLOTHES! I would have loved to see Beatle mania in full swing, the peace movement and the music up close.

If you had a time machine which decade would you want to go back to? Any events? Have you ever thought what it would be like to live in a different time?

Ok, so I'll admit it... I recently started to watch Doctor Who. Before Matt Smith became the doctor I had zero interest but I thought I'd give it a go. Before, I was a proud none follow of the show, an individual thinker. Oh how wrong I was. It's BRILLIANT! Ok so the monsters and aliens aren't exactly my style but the comical dialogue can be hilarious and the chemistry between Amy Pond and the doctor never fails to entertain me. Last night was a particular gem; James Corden (My oh my he's getting everywhere these days) guest starred as the Doctor attempted to pass himself off as a human being with Amy Pond off somewhere in space. In the Doctors words "What could possibly go wrong?"

The Doctor pretending to be human had my sides splitting, from playing football (asking 'is that the one with the sticks') to talking to a cat (it was funnier than it sounds)  this got me wondering, like in every episode of the new series, why haven't I watched this before? If Sci- fi isn't your thing I still advise you to give it a go, it's witty, dramatic, emotional and has a lot of heart. Matt Smith shows off his incredible acting skills to show a funny, eccentric and at times even tortured Doctor and teamed up with the amazing Karen Gillian as Amy Pond, you really can't go wrong. 

I will still admit I prefer the more normal comical episodes to the real outer space ones. But that's just me but this still proves this show has something for everyone. In fact I have been such a convert I've even started watching confidential... how sad is that!? But of course confidential is very entertaining and we get to see a very fashionable Matt Smith and Karen Gillian in their element ( I love the way Karen dresses! ) . So if you haven't been converted to Who yet... come over to the dark side my friend. Enjoy the antics of the bow tie clad Doctor and his loveable assistant. Because as the Doctor says.... Bow Ties are cool!
