And what about the fruitbowl?  |
You're right..... how could I forget about the fruitbowl? (I only thought about the jumper as it's freezing cold here today, I guess). |
That would make a lot of sense.
They should put up a wax figure of Pauline in Madam Tussauds! |
I think the idea is to sell tickets......

I reckon he'll do another at least. Do you know how long other actors have been in the role? I looked for info, but there's so many Dr Who pages out there. I remember Tom Baker playing the role for about 3-4 years I think. |
1. First Doctor, played by William Hartnell (1963?1966)
2. Second Doctor, played by Patrick Troughton (1966?1969)
3. Third Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee (1970?1974)
4. Fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker (1974?1981)
5. Fifth Doctor, played by Peter Davison (1981?1984)
