You know you’re a ‘Doctor Who’ fan when…

By Marama Whyte (@maramawhyte) at 1:00 pm, August 20, 2012

How do you know when you’re a huge Doctor Who fan? Do you have the characteristics of a Whovian? Check out Hypable’s infographic and see how many items you can check off.

Doctor Who fans are a strange bunch, we love the fact that the Doctor’s companions are essentially a revolving door, but he’s never alone because he’s always with the TARDIS. He’s constantly being swapped out by a new actor and there’s nothing more fulfilling that arguing about which Doctor is best and yet that’s what makes the fandom such a great thing to be a part of.

Below you’ll find many more reasons why Doctor Who has caused droves of fans set their DVRs and watch and re-watch episodes from the first Doctor to the Eleventh.

How many items could you check off our list? Which numbers were your favourites?

How big of a ‘Doctor Who’ fan are you?

Number 32 (“You stare at statues when you and your friends walk past, and then say, “Saved your life!”) is SO TRUE. XD

I used to watch Doctor Who back when it was about the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones; I’m going to start watching it again this season. Can’t wait. :-D

6. I didn’t take physics anyway. Think I should have now.
7. I MADE a bow-tie.
22. I understand that the media likes to say ‘Doctor Who’ instead of ‘The Doctor’, but it annoys me when people type out ‘Dr.’ instead of ‘Doctor’.
34. Yes.

  Potter is coming, don’t you worry!

  There should be like a little hypable shop I think. Just like for things like this. And the money could support the computer needs of the website and things. Whatever. But I would buy this in a heart beat!
  (considering I don’t have a cool enough printer to just take care of things personally)

    I like a shop. Not a big one, just a little shop, so people can…shop.

21: Meh, I tend to get a far greater aneurysm when people call Chris Eccleston “The First Doctor”. He is the Ninth Doctor. NINTH.

I remember after I watched “Blink” I started to do #32. Whenever I’m with a group of people now and we pass a statue I want to yell, “Don’t blink! Blink and you’re dead!”

This is cool, just like bow ties. I think Chameleon Circuit should be on her somewhere. Even if you don’t really like their music, you should at least know about them!

  it is on there – look again:D

    Dreamer was referring to the band Chameleon Circuit, not just the Circuit itself.

    I saw that :) I meant the Trock band with alex day, charlie mcdonnel, michael aranda, liam drydan and ed blann (they’re awesome)

I love it! But I have a correction. The greatest pickup line is not “Hello, sweetie,” it’s “Hi, I’m Jack Harkness.” Truth?

  I do believe that’s *Captain* Jack Harkness to you ;)

I am totally planning on being in London one Christmas…it increases your chances of meeting the Doctor as he comes swooping in to save the day. :]

How about, “You read this in The Doctor’s voice.”

If this was done by a Doctor Who fan then you would know that anything that holds the image of an angel becomes an angel…why would they have an angel there?
