8 Fears When Watching Classic Doctor Who With Your Partner

8. Rise Of The CBA-bermen

The Cybermen are perhaps the perfect metaphor for indifference when watching Doctor Who. Cold, emotionless and maybe even a little demanding... so try not to awaken the Cyberman within your partner!

Perhaps one of the most galling and disappointing potential reactions when showing a significant other some of the classic Doctor Who you love so much is general indifference.

Indeed, sometimes even a negative reaction is better than one of impartiality. It's a natural fear that classic Doctor Who can leave your boyfriend or girlfriend so unaffected and cold that they simply don't care one way or the other. The best art inspires some kind of reaction from most people so it can be particularly disappointing when someone you care about has little to no reaction about the show you adore.

If your soulmate exhibits this response, fear not. It's almost certain that, with a little bit of perseverance, a Classic Who story will emerge that will illicit some form of positive reaction. Promise.
