Mum: Bigger fan that she lets on.

She's currently watching all of the episodes of Torchwood. Like, one after the other, for days. She's such a fangirl. :)

This is the same woman that watched the Hartnell episodes back in the 60s, never missed a one. :D I think this is proof not all Old Who fans are crotchetty, grumpy jerks telling you to get off their lawn.

Well, perhaps not, but it is the motto of our local chapter of Grumpy Old REAL DOCTOR WHO Fans: Buggere Off Out' Me Gardene, Yez Wee Bastards. It runs on a Fourth-Scarf-style banner, across the bottom of the coat-of-arms: vert, a garden with a bit of fence propre, accompanied sub hoc by a split-level shrubbery with a nice path down the middle, and three herring-bearing lumberjacks propre superior, and a cool Tim the Sorceror hat above, the whole supported by a Vicious Rabbit rampant sinister and a coconut-bearing African Swallow volant dexter.

Or something like that. The fact it's mostly Monty Python references is because that's what was funny, back in the days of dinosaurs and dice-and-paper RPGs, and you wouldn't know, so GET OFF MY LAWN!

It's long, but it really gets across the...tone...of the group.

I just picked up all three seasons of Torchwood for about $50 delivered from the UK. Huzzah for the strong Aussie dollar and Amazon.co.uk for their substantial discounts!

Your mom always sounds fun. :) My mom is a big fangirl, too. Wonder if she liked The Who back in the day? I know she likes "Baba O'Riley." I'll have to ask her about the rest.
