Welcome to the online home of the Atlanta Gallifreyans, a group of fans of the longest-running science fiction series in television history—Doctor Who!
We meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month at the Doraville Civic Center (go to the Events page for directions and map). Our meetings are very informal, and involve much talking, snacking, laughing, snacking, and catching up on all the recent Who news. And we always make some time to watch some Doctor Who, or at least something Who-related, like the Stranger movies, the BBC Online animated adventures, and even K-9 and Company!
If you'd like to know more about us, please email me, or join our Yahoo Group and get involved in our discussions. And please browse around the site to learn a bit more about what we're about!

March 30, 2008: My first duty today is to make public apologies for having gotten SO behind on keeping this site updated. I've been involved in so many things lately that have continuously prevented me from giving this site the attention that it deserves. I promise to try really really hard to do better from now on!

November 24: It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Doctor Who's first producer, Verity Lambert. In no way can her impact and influence on the show be overestimated. She was a visionary who believed in the show and its place in culture, and inspired people to greater imagination and creativity. She will be sorely missed.
Jane Tranter, Controller of BBC Fiction, said: "Verity was a total one-off. She was a magnificently, madly, inspirationally talented drama producer. During her long and brilliant career there was no form of drama that was beyond her reach and that she didn't excel at. From the early episodes of Doctor Who to the still to be transmitted comedy drama Love Soup, via Widows, Minder, GBH, Eldorado and Jonathan Creek (to name but the tiniest handful of credits) – Verity was a phenomenon. She made the television drama genre utterly her own. She was deaf to the notion of compromise and there wasn't an actor, writer, director or television executive she worked with who didn't regard her with admiration, respect and awe. She will be hugely missed but her legacy lives on in the dramas she made, and in the generations of eager young programme-makers she has inspired."
