Is there much of classic Doctor Who fanbase at university?

What a ****ing virgin, I know. Hence why I'm on anon, I'm self-aware of how tragic this sounds but it's something I love but I broadly keep it to myself at Sixth for obvious reasons, a few mates know but that's fine. Obviously this is going to vary from Uni to Uni and it might be more concentrated on certain subjects.

If there is, I'm not really introverted and quite sporty so would that be a bit of a problem in the community?

You aren't anon.

Also your standard whovians now are more into the revived series. Good luck finding anyone who knows the real series.

I mean everything after the series ended in 1989.

As someone who felt the series peaked during Pertwee's first season this may be problematic

Pertwee was from long before 1989, how is that problematic?

Just how out of touch I'd be with everyone else, I've been roasted quite heavily in TARDISposting for saying Inferno's the greatest episode of all time so that's given me a bad feeling about this.

Basically everything since (and including) the 1996 telefilm have altered the Doctor's feel, and the character of the show. Of all the revived series I'd say Christopher Eccleston's era was best - because it didn't try to emulate or echo the original series as much as Tennant did, and it didn't go all cutesy like Smith did. I don't know too much about Capaldi, but I have had an impression that he was more of a "return to roots" Doctor than before, without being a handsome man full of catchphrases and nonsense. Basically I lost interest in the revived series about a season into Tennant's tenure, it was crap.

Agreed 9 was excellent, the first tenth season was decent but I didn't rate it much after that.
