    Generally can't stand the bloke, but I wouldn't wish a stroke on anyone - I wish him well.

    I'm sorry to hear that. Ian started the ball rolling on the protection/preservation of the archive and the hunt for missing episodes. Whichever way you look at it, we have more of the Hartnell and Troughton eras as a direct result of his work.

    Hope he has a good support network looking after him. A stoke is serious.

    Hello, everyone.

    I can only add my good wishes to Mr. Levine for a speedy and full recovery.

    I myself suffered a stroke on Ferbruary 23rd this year. And while I was fortunate enought to be "okay again" pretty soon afterwards, it is a Very Scary Thing to happen - especially unexpectedly.

    I found it to be an ehausting "experience", both physically and metally draining - and it can take a fair while to get back to feeling like oneself again.

    Whatever the "fan option" of Mr Levine, he is clearly devoted to the programme and has done much in the past to honour its legacy (from what I've learned from others).

    We do actually have much to be grateful to him for. For that reason alone, I say "Get Well Soon, Ian. The Whoniverse needs its "characters" in Fandom as much as on screen."

    Good wishes to all,
    John

    It's not normally the done thing to have a little dig like that when sincerely wishing someone well.

    No need ... just ... no need

    :(

    Get well soon Ian, all the best :)
