  I was standing at a bus stop in central London when I spotted David Tennant from Doctor Who. Being a fan of the show I decided to sidle up to him and say hello, maybe drop him my card - who knows where it might lead? My luck could be in!
I nudged my way through the queue and crept up beside David. I innocently asked him when the No. 21 was arriving. He turned and smiled, said he didn’t know but he was waiting for it too, have you been waiting long? Great, I had his attention! I’m talking to David Tennant from Doctor Who!
We began chatting about the weather and the news, my nerves at meeting The Doctor himself diminished. His voice sounded a lot deeper than it did on the telly, but people are often different in real life, I figured.
Time passed but the bus was nowhere to be seen. David and I were getting along famously. Drops of rain began to fall from the grey London sky. David asked me if I wanted to sit out the shower in the nearby coffee shop. But suddenly a thought flashed across my mind - was I really sure this was David Tennant from Doctor Who? We headed into the coffee shop. David insisted on buying me a cappuccino. ‘So,” I asked cautiously, "What do you do for a living?” Please say you star in Doctor Who… “Oh, it’s not very interesting…” It bloody well better be… “I work in the chemical industry…” Try as I might, I could not reconcile starring in Doctor Who with working in the chemical industry. This man was not David Tennant from Doctor Who, this man was a fraud! And he had duped me into having coffee! I slurped my frothy coffee as quickly as I could, said thank you so much, see you again and ran out into the rain. Damn you, fake David Tennant not of Doctor Who! |
