Have you met any doctors? Companions? Villains? Or any writers? Anyone really!
Well I have! :-D
So I met DAVID TENNANT ^_^

Saw him filming What We Did On our holidays, was in my hometown, there was about 10 off us there, no gates or anything which was awesome!
He was about to go in the car for lunch and he asked if he couldn't just see a few off us, security guard said no as they are behind schedule, he looked over and I was jumping waving my arms, he ran over to me and said "Would you like a picture bud?" I nodded my chess and got the picture, I said thank you so many times and he said "it's a pleasure bud he then ran off and went into the car
Saw more filming when he came back and later got autographs and he remembered me ^_^
Was June the 20th
So feel free to share stories and pictures ;-)

Met Colin Baker after he'd been in the stage show at Leeds Grand in 1989. Nice fella, loads of time for everyone. Went there with my Dr Who group, which included Phil Collinson.
Met RTD a couple of weeks ago. He is massive! I had my photo taken with his arm round me and my head is in his armpit. I'm 5ft 10 and I look like a flippin' Hobbit! (I'd love to post it but can't because it's got my 'company' logo on his visitors badge and they get proper touchy about in work photos.)
I met Louise Jameson/Leela, who is also a delight to talk to. I praised her for Talons of Weng-Chieng. ^_^
I also met Neve Macintosh/Madame Vastra (well, technically my girlfriend did but it's the closest I'll ever be to her so it counts!)
And that's about it thus far...
...wonder how he's doing?
+ Rob Shearman & Nicholas Briggs
Tennant & Smith must one day make the list!
Yeah, look impressed. I gave Mawdryn directions.
Can vouch for Colin Baker's niceness, and also bumped into Deborah Watling when out with some fellow fans who knew her and she seemed lovely. She's very short and seemed quite eccentric....in a good way.
+ William Russell (Ian), Maureen O'Brien (Vicki), Anneke Wills (Polly)
+ Fraser Hines (Jamie), Debbie Watling (Victoria), Wendy Padbury (Zoe), Nicholas Courtney (The Brig), John Levene (Benton)
+ Caroline John (Liz), Katy Manning (Jo), Richard Franklin (Yates), Lis Sladen (Sarah Jane)
+ Louise Jameson (Leela), David Brierley (K9), Matthew Waterhouse (Adric), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Janet Fielding (Tegan)
+ Peter Davison (Doctor 5), Mark Strickson (Turlough), Nicola Bryant (Peri)
+ Colin Baker (Doctor 6)
+ Sylvester McCoy (Doctor 7), Sophie Aldred (Ace)
+ Marcus Gilbert (Ancelyn), Angela Bruce (Bambera) Geoffrey Hughes (Popplewick), Simon Williams (Gilmore), Graham Cole (various parts), Kate O'Mara (The Rani), Burt Kwouk (Lin Futu), Cheryl Hall (Shirna), Philip Hinchcliffe (producer), Eric Saward (writer and script editor), Gilly Brown (Ohica), Peter Halliday (various parts), Ian Fairbairn (various parts), Andrew Smith (writer), Graeme Harper (director)
+ Paul McGann (Doctor 8), Daphne Ashbrook (Grace), Yee Jee Tso (Chang Lee)
Plus from the new series:-
Annette Badland, Bruno Langley, Alan David, Christina Cole, Rory Jennings, Jacqueline King, Rob Shearman, Steven Moffat
Also met; Nicholas Courtney, Nicola Bryant, Mary Tamm, Caroline John, Ian Marter and Anthony Ainley (who was intensely shy and private)
and finally - JNT
I've met Frazer Hines at Radio Aire in Leeds (A friend of mine who worked there got him to sign my copy of 'The War Games" later that year).
Tom Baker often used to come in to the pub I worked in in Soho. He liked turkey sandwiches with the crusts cut off. Ray Brooks (David Campbell in Daleks Invasion of Earth 2150AD), Martin Jarvis (Vengeance of Varos etc), Bill Mitchell (Doctor Who and the Pescatons), Ed Bishop (Full Fathom Five),
I once sat next to Catherine Tate at a media dinner - lovely time but long before she did any 'Who', and I hadn't even seen her comedy show by then. A very focused and witty lady.
I've worked with Peter Davison, Paul McGann, David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston. Splendid chaps, all of them.
Mind you I think David Tennant still owes me the price of a Marathon Bar ! (Snickers nowadays)
Did you find CE to be a complete delightful and humble man? I was expecting him to be an intense luvvie with no time for people who want to talk about previous work he has done but he was (to coin his phrase) fantastic!
He was lovely, humble and professional. Hardest of all on himself and also very good.( IMHO if he says he had good reasons to leave after one year, then they were justified).
Actually, the same goes for Peter Capaldi, who I now realise I worked with the longest time ago!!
Met Jon Pertwee in the BBC Canteen when a child - he was sitting with Roger Delgado a few weeks before the latter was killed.
Shown a (headless) Dalek when 3 years old - scared the Beejeezus out of me at the time - I don't remember, Dad has repeated that story a number of times.
Met Colin Baker when he was at an autograph signing, Dad was one of the others as was Peter Purvis
His panel had been delayed and he was minding his own business in a corner of the bar. I wandered over purely to say Hi and he started chatting away. I don't recall talking about Doctor Who at all - history and politics mainly, he was very well read. And he offered me some excellent advice about how to give up smoking (start by using a cigarette holder, it allows less smoke into your lungs and also, before too long, you'll feel like such a twit with the damn thing that you'll give up smoking altogether!! Apparently it worked for him!).
Lovely man, nothing like his pantomime villain image.
Oh, and Nick Courtney once bought me a pint.
Sheridan Smith, who played Lucie Miller in the audio plays, once gave me a lap dance. Long story short, I was watching her film the sitcom Grownups. As part of the filming she was doing a sexy dance in her underwear, due to some banter I had with her and the production crew, Sheridan came up to me at the end( still in her underwear) and treated me to a sexy lapdance!! needless to say I will be forever grateful.
