Four
Scrolling down the Radio Times Facebook page, this article catches my eye. What this fan finds is wibbly-wibbly-timey-wimey. David Tennant was at the Wizard World Comic Con in New Orleans this past weekend. While he is there, he tells a story about a time when four men were at the same place on the same day.
For any fan, what Tennant tells is very interesting. Any fan would love to get the autograph of their favorite Doctor or actor or actress. But this is a weird coincidence. Imaging that you and two other fans will be at the same place at the same time in the 1970s is quite remote. But that is what happened.
At the time, none of the three ever thought they would become the Doctor or showrunner. They are all young men and boys. Now, you are wondering, what is so weird. Well, sometime in the 1970s, David Tennant, Tom Baker, Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat were at the same book signing. Tom Baker is the only one who is a part of Doctor Who at the time.
As David tells the story, fans are probably on the edge of their seats. Many of them are looking for something good to take away from the comic con. The story for Tennant was surreal in that he is now a big part of Doctor Who history. Not only was he a Doctor his father-in-law was as well.
The story is surreal to Tennant and is for Moffat and Capaldi. As a fan, it is the most desirable thing for us. Every fan wants to be in Doctor Who. Fans think the most of the actors and actresses associated with the show. Fans around the world not only want to meet their favorite characters. They want to be them and even play the roles one day.
It must feel amazing for those three guys. To one day star in and write for your favorite television show.
