I have not read most of the Doctor Who books, but my TV watching growing up (well, permitted) was PBS and James Bond movies, so I grew up watching Doctor Who, a fair range of British comedy, and a large swath of Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery!. So they're very much 'this is a thing I remember doing with my father, and loved' above and beyond enjoying SF.
And it's a fascinating thing because you can see changes in approaches to storytelling and structure, over time, since the series has been going so long, without necessarily getting stuck in the same mode (because different actors as the Doctor, screenwriters, and show-runners.) There are definitely things I don't like in each era of the show, but there are also a lot of things I do like.
