From one Whovian to another: Loup Dargent

Hello Whovians today we are joined on the TARDIS by UK Whovian Loup Dargent. 

Welcoming Loup on board, we offered him some Jammie Dodgers and tea, Eleven refused to make fish custard because of the two previous refusals and promptly stormed out of the TARDIS leaving me and Ten to host Loup for the day, after Loups initial reaction of shock and awe, mentioning that it really was bigger on the inside, we sat down in the library and got down to business.

  

Bookworm: alright let's kick this off with the question, what is your earliest Doctor Who memory?

Loup Dargent: If we don't count the fact that, in the 80s, not long after I moved to the Uk from France, one of my friends was told he looked like the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) by someone on the bus (I didn't know anything about Doctor Who, unfortunately, as it was not shown on the French TV channels in those days), it will have to be the TV movie with the 8th Doctor(Paul McGann). Shame that it didn't get the approval of the Doctor Who's fans then. If I remember well, they thought it was too americanised.

Bookworm: When did you first realize that you yourself were a Whovian?

Loup Dargent: Definitely after the first episode with Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) and the 9th Doctor (Christopher Eccleston).

            

Bookworm: What incarnation of the Time Lord, is your favorite?

Loup Dargent: I do like all of them, but the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) would be my favourite one if I had to choose.

Bookworm: What makes that Doctor so memorable?

Loup Dargent: Probably because my kids and I were watching the show together at the time... Watching Doctor Who together became like a family tradition after that.

Bookworm: Which of the Doctor's TARDIS' would you say was by far the best?

Loup Dargent: The Ninth Doctor's one... It was brilliant as "Bad Wolf".

Bookworm: Who is your favorite companion of the Doctor?

Loup Dargent: Probably Rose Tyler...

Bookworm: Which companion would you like to see return to the show, from the past?

Loup Dargent: I was very happy that Sarah Jane Smith came back and had her own show... But, now that, sadly, Elisabeth Sladen has passed away, I suppose I would like Jo Grant to come back. She was in two episodes of the Sarah Jane's Adventures, and I was quite impressed. I believe she could carry on Sarah Jane's work... 

Bookworm: What is your favorite episode of all time?

Loup Dargent: It was a Christmas episode, I think... "The Next Doctor" with David Tennant and David Morrissey.

Bookworm: Which monster that the Doctor has faced in the past, would you say was the best?

Loup Dargent: The Cybermen... I believe the Borg in Star Trek were influenced by them (allegedly, of course.)

Bookworm: and which one would you call the most terrifying monster that the Doctor has ever faced?

Loup Dargent: It will have to be the Weeping Angels...

Bookworm: and while we are still on that subject, which monster would you consider the most ridiculous monster you have ever seen?


Loup Dargent: The Daleks were kind of ridiculous, I suppose, with their plunger and all that... especially in the days when they were not able to climb stairs.

Bookworm: Which of the classic monsters that we haven't already seen return would you want to see return to the show?

Loup Dargent: All of them, really... they should all deserve a second chance.

Bookworm: If you got the chance to meet any actor/actress from the new or old series, which would you choose?

Loup Dargent: Billie Piper!

Bookworm: If you were told that you could have anything from the Doctor Who set, that wasn't a living person, or thing. What would you take?

Loup Dargent: One of the sonic screwdrivers used by the Doctors would be cool to have...
