GREG King first started watching Doctor Who as a child, but he now shares his favourite TV show with a group of likeminded locals.<\/p>\n
Mr King helped establish the Bendigo Whovians Society, who marked six years of devotion to, and celebration of, the British sci-fi classic series earlier this month.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve watched it all because I started back in the 70s,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s when I discovered it and I\u2019ve basically grown up with it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince I discovered it as a kid it\u2019s been my favourite TV show and I\u2019ve been watching it ever since.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main idea [of the Society] was to have a spot for people locally to chat and it\u2019s because we were able to communicate together like that, we were able then to start doing actual social activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
One such event was a planned meetup this month, but a COVID cap on attendee numbers meant the group was forced to postpone the occasion.<\/p>\n
It would have been the first catch-up they had held since the beginning of the pandemic 19 months ago.<\/p>\n
While Mr King said the delay was unfortunate, plans are already in motion to reschedule a December meetup. In the meantime, the group have remained strong and connected online.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a Facebook group, of course, it\u2019s fabulous in that sense that we have been able to keep connected and chatting and moving on with what we do as Dr Who fans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
