On the Doctor Who advent calendar todays interview one of them says that they were talking to Tom Pertwee and they were talking about her friend David Tennant (before he was the Doctor) and Pertwee asked if David Tennant was a big Doctor Who fan and when she said that he was Pertwee took out a cheque book and wrote David a cheque for £17.45.

I never saw the original Doctor Who as I was born in america so what on earth does the £17.45 mean?

    Oh Jeez I got it completely wrong. It was Tom Baker. LOL This is what it says in the article.

    AW: I met Tom Baker doing a voice-over when David [Arabella's friend, David Tennant] wasn't at all well known. We were doing this voice-over together and I said to Tom, 'Oh, my friend's a really, really big Doctor Who fan,' and he replied, 'Wait!' He got his cheque book out and asked, 'What his name?' I said 'David Tennant'. He wrote, 'To David Tennant, seventeen pounds forty five', signed it and I asked him what it meant. He said, 'He'll know...'

    Maybe that makes more sense but I still have no idea about £17.45

    It's the scheduled time for Season 13 and 18 of the Tom Baker era - he usually had a slot at about 18.20. There are only three Tom Baker episodes that went out at exactly that time, though.

    Admittedly, the schedules for Doctor Who in the seventies were perhaps even more inconsistent than they are today...

    I personally prefer Peter Baker but Jon Troughton is a close second.

    The significance is that 'Jon' Pertwee was notoriously tight!:D
