Hey, a girl got me hooked on Doctor Who and my first serious girlfriend was a fellow Whovian before we even met. And this was when Peter Davison was steering the TARDIS.
ETA: The girl I claim hooked me on Doctor Who claimed it was really the other way around, that I was the one who suggested we watch it to kill a couple of hours before Saturday Night Live. We argued bitterly over who said what. In the end the only fight she ever lost was the one with cancer so she gets the last word.
