BRIEF GLIMPSE

If DOCTOR WHO has proved one thing in its life time It is the fact that it will not die, if anything it seems to be able to adapt to any new trend or medium. In this case I am referring to websites on the Internet (even the DWAS has a website) which has the refreshing difference of being created by fans for fans, with the right mixture of irreverence, manic devotion, unadulterated enjoyment, smut and not just dodgy pies of Nicola Bryant!

Listed below are some of the sites connected up by the Wholink webring, a series of linked websights which go together to make a much larger whole.

First from the Character Websites on Weblink

You read that right, this is a page about Adric. Yes, Adric

Companions' Home Page [US]

A page devoted to those unsung heroes of time and space; the screamers, the fallers, the unpredictable: the Companions, brought to you by the good people at the Elizabeth Sladen Information Network

Davros— Master of the Wheelchair [UK] Everyone's favorite wacky scientist has another page devoted to him! For a meglomaniacal freak-show, this guy's got a lot of fans

Ben Jackson Fan Page

Terisa's Doctor Who Webpage for the Totally Sick and Twisted

You guessed it from the title, a page devoted to the trials and tribulations suffered by the Seventh Doctor (largely thanks to Kate Orman)

The Unofficial Homepage for Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred Fanatics [US]

And the Multmedia section

WhoPhD [Australia]

The Australian arm of doctorwho.org, a largely multi-media based site intended for individuals with high-speed access to that side of the transpacific link

The Internet is an interesting place to go and is a ceaseless fount of information, but a word of caution these sites by definition are very individual and cannot always be quite what you are looking for, also the download time can be somewhat frustrating combined sometimes finding yourself completely lost. Not that any of them are bad, it's just worth being choosy and checking what's available.
