Ten Stops in the TARDIS
I’ve recently begun watching a little show called Doctor Who (you may have heard about it). The central focus of the show are the adventures of an alien traveler in the TARDIS, which allows him to travel through time and space. Like many geeks I have often wondered about what I would do with access to such a device. Whilst the answers are virtually unlimited, I’ve narrowed it down to my first ten, must visit times and places. Cue the sound effects…
1. 1985, Skywalker Ranch, California: Just a quick stop to abduct George Lucas.

3. November 22nd, 1963, Dallas, Texas: Scope out the grassy knoll, see if there’s anyone there out of curiousity. Also try and grab the Babushka Lady’s camera. This mysterious figure has a camera going at just the right place to shed light on the conspiracy, but she was never seen again.

5. 1AD, Golgotha: although I’m not religious, I was brought up being told that God and Jesus were plain fact. I’d like to see this dude in action, and hang around his cave to see if he’d come back. If he can teach me the water to wine trick, bonus.
6. 1503, Italy: there’s plenty to see and do in during the Renaissance, but during this particular year I can see what was happening with the Mona Lisa.

8. 292BC, Rhodes: check out the Colossus of Rhodes before it got all shook up. It was difficult to pick out one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and this captured my imagination as a child.
9. 1970, London, BBC studios: grab copies of all the ‘Doctor Who’ episodes that would eventually be lost or destroyed and bring them back to 2011 to have them digitally restored and backed up. Seems only fair since I’ve using the TARDIS that I do something right by the Doctor.
10. July 20th, 2012: Attend the premiere of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’.
