Sunday, March 7 at 1 pm this month. (This coming Sunday, not Saturday.)
DR. WHO
Yes, that Dr. Who...the British Sci-fi television program
presenting the adventures of the mysterious humanoid alien
known as "The Doctor" or "Dr. Who".
The Guinness World Records lists it as the "longest-running
science fiction television show in the world". It began
in 1963.
It's become a cult television favorite in the British Isles,
quickly spread to other countries, and has influenced
generations of TV professionals.
Eleven actors have portrayed The Doctor. The transition from
one actor to another is written into the plot as a regeneration,
whereby the Doctor takes on a new body, and slightly different
personality (complete with individual quirks).

The abbot of the Monastery of Moville sent word to the story-tellers of Ireland that when they were in his neighbourhood they should call at the monastery, for he wished to collect and write down the stories which were in danger of being forgotten. "These things also must be told," said he. In particular he wished to gather tales which told of the deeds that had been done before the Gospel came to Ireland. "For," said he, "there are very good tales among those ones, and it would be a pity if the people who come after us should be ignorant of what happened long ago, and of the deeds of their fathers." So, whenever a story-teller chanced in that neighbourhood he was directed to the monastery, and there he received a welcome and his fill of all that is good for man. Join us for one of these tales (told in voice).
