As we were watching a Dr. Who episode last night, my friend wondered
aloud whether there were more Trekies or more Whoites, since Dr. Who has
been around for a longer span of time than Star Trek.  I told him I'd
post the question to this digest and see what people thought of the
difference in numbers between the fans of each of these series.  As a
more specific question, since Dr. Who is a BBC produced series, can we
assume that it has a greater following in England than does Star Trek?

Also, I asked a Who question some time ago which went something like
this "I've just seen my first Dr. Who episode and I have only one
question: how does she keep that hat on her head?", to which I recieved
a number of "'She' WHO?!?" replies.  I would like to comment that while
there are indeed a lot of women hanging around the TARDIS, I have yet to
see more than one with a hat balanced precariously on her head.  (To
those of you who responded "How about a hat pin", thanks, and I'll shut
up now...)
