Down a sidestreet with my nephew, we walked past Dr Who (Matt Smith). I was tentative of approaching because although he's my favourite Dr I had a preconception he was a dick IRL. However, my 9 year old nephew just stops and shouts 'Dr Who!', pointing at him.
The doctor then lowered his sunglasses, immediately crossed the road and got straight into character. He crouched down and asked him where he could get some decent fish fingers and custard and that we shouldn't walk round that corner because there's a rather angry cyberman after him. My nephew loved this.
For a second, I was fucking petrified. I am 30 years old.
