Back in the 80’s me and my friend rode our motorcycles to a Doctor Who Convention and saw Colin Baker- who hands down knew how to work a crowd-.

Anyway.

Me and my friend were Musicians and we looked the part all of the time so we showed up in leather jackets with heavy dark eyeliner and torn up and safety pinned clothes.

 Now the boys liked us ( the ones dressed up like espeacially the ones dressed up like Tom Baker- never did figure that one out) and a few of the girls and bless their hearts that took guts because nobody else would come within five feet of us.

You know who else was really nice to us?

Colin Baker

Colin Baker was more then happy to chat with us for a very long time when we lined up for autographs.

He was cool.

I had a great time at those Sci-Fi Conventions, as weird as they may look from the outside I respected every costumed over the top Fan because it takes mucho amounts of guts to show the world who you are and celebrate it.

Still.

It makes me wonder, if me and Margot showed up at one of those conventions on motorcycles today looking the way we did then- we wouldn’t be a side show because one must consider this picture from the Promo from ” The Stolen Earth ” episode of Doctor Who.

 

Doctor Who has lip locked with at least four of these characters- and one is a guy.

So I wonder…how would this Doctor have done at a Sci-Fi Convention back in the 80’s?

Who am I kidding.

He would have scored in a big way

 with the Tom Baker Fans.

Especially if he had shown up on a Harley and in Leather.
