Who’s Whovian?
Is it fair to call a four-year old a sci-fi geek? Well, I was a dinosaur geek when I was a kid, able to tell you the difference between your Allosaurs, Tyrannosaurs and so on and could even tell you the periods the respective dinosaurs lived in, even if I now can’t tell my Cretaceous from my … elbow.
So if I’m willing to acknowledge it, I think it’s fair to point out BTP has certain Whovian tendencies. After all, there can’t be many four year olds who can name the following ‘telly’ Dr. Whos…
- William Hartnell
- Troughton Patrick
- Jon Purpletree
- Tom Baker
- Davey Peterson
- Colin Baker
- Sylvester McCoy
- Christopher Ecclestone
- David Tennant
Okay, so technically they aren’t all exactly right (and I personally don’t really count the TV movie either), but I think he’s doing quite frighteningly well for a four-year old…
…and let’s face it, at least it’s better than the Power Rangers.
Hello. I am 
Not only do you have a remarkable child, but I am sorely tempted to change my name by deed-poll to Jon Purpletree. What a super name!
Personally, I can’t recount the doctors, and whenever I talk about the current doctor I say “Neil Tennant” instead of David Tennnant. Then I learnt that David Tennant chose his stage-name after the Pet Shop Boy, so it’s not such a terrible error.
