And so began a lifelong obsession. He claims that he’s not a "Whovian", but rather a "Doctor Who fan," and rates himself a probable two or three on a Nerd Scale—while admitting "That framed set of Tom Baker bathroom tiles on the wall behind me suggests the truth may rank somewhere higher." The iconic sci-fi show was a defining factor in his childhood, and yet when Doctor Who started getting crappy—after Tom Baker basically—he nearly moved on, ready to take on more mature interests, until he discovered a small ad of someone selling tapes of old episodes, and that was the end of the plan to move on. Only in the last few years has this anti-social obsession become something he can earn a living from as a journalist, as he’s become Radio Times' unofficial Doctor Who correspondent and so interviewed a host of the show's stars past and present. Happily this coincides with Doctor Who getting good again. Anyone who grew up with The Doctor will relate to this superfan’s story and his love for the show that lets him journey back to his own childhood—his own personal TARDIS.
