Today we'll be covering breaking the news to your relative or friend (or if you're old enough, your girlfriend) that you're a Whovian, and to get them to be too!

Breaking The News
Sit down with them, and ask them what their favourite show is. Whether it's Call The Midwife or Star Trek, chances are, they'll ask you back. Be truthful, say Doctor Who. Then start talking to them about it, but not for an hour, talking about the Daleks.

Or, you can watch something with them which has someone from Doctor Who in it. If the victim is a small child, take them to the cinema to see Postman Pat: The Movie (David Tennant), or sit them in front of Old Jack's Boat (Bernard Cribbins). If the victim is an adult, watch Broadchurch (David Tennant, Arthur Darvill, Olivia Coleman) with them. After watching, talk with them about the character played by a Doctor Who person. Then say,"They're in a show I like called Doctor Who!" and the small conversation starts.

Which Episode to Start Them off With?
If this person is a fan of romance, give The Girl in the Fireplace a go.

If this person usually only watches comedy on TV, start them off with The Lodger.

If this person is a science fiction fan, and likes paradoxes, I would introduce them to The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang.

If this person is a polictian, or a fan of politics, try Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords.

If this person is a fan of films, try any episode of series 7.

If this person likes sad shows, start them off with Father's Day.

If this person is a war buff, give A Good Man Goes to War a try.

If this person is a bit of a Wilfred Moff, present them with Aliens of London/World War Three.
