A TV programme you watched as a child

Hi there Bloggers!

Today I'd like to tell you about a TV programme I watched as a child. The show I'm going to write about is called Dr Who. I started watching it as a child from about age 8 years old. It is about a person who travels through time and who has different adventures in different parts of the universe or at different points in Earth's history. The Dr (or The Doctor) travels in a spaceship that has the appearance of an old Police phone box. It's called the Tardis and although it looks small it's actually bigger on the inside. When I was a child the show used to be broadcast on Saturday at 6pm. The Dr fought against many enemies, the most notorious being the Darleks (pictured below). I remember that I used to spend half of the show hiding behind the sofa because I found it so scary. The series ran from 1963 until 1989. It was revived again in 2005 and there have been 11 new series since that date. The show had lots of followers and it had a very recognisable theme tune. Many artists have recorded versions of the theme tune. A song called "Doctorin the Tardis" by The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu which featured a sample of the tune reached Nº1 in the British singles chart in 1988. As well as being a great series, the show is a big part of British culture.

A City

Hi Blogheads:

A city I'd like to visit is Berlin. I guess I've been lucky because I've already had the chance to visit amazing cities like Tokyo, Paris, Barcelona, Venice, New York, Istanbul and Edinburgh (to name a few!!). However, although I've visited cities in the South of Germany like Munich, I've never been to Berlin. I don't really know that much about the city. David Bowie lived there with Iggy Pop and Brian Eno during the 70s. The architecture is said to be magnificent and, of course, the city is home to the Love Parade - Europe's wildest gay festival.
I think it will be interesting to see the remains of the wall, an event I experienced live on Television. Like all big cities, there are no doubt tourist sights to see and museums that you should visit. I think I'd just like to wander around and see what I find. I think Berlin must be a big living museum, a historical place. I would definitely do the David Bowie tour. You can check it out here: https://musictours-berlin.com/bowie-berlin-walk
Obviously, I'd like to go with my wife, She speaks some German so she'd have to do all the talking. All I can do is order a coffee or a beer and count to ten:)
You can see some clips of Berlin in this Bowie video from 2014:
