Peter Capaldi: Doctor Who Fanzine Writer

Peter Capaldi’s Doctor Who fanzine article .

We hope Peter Capaldi is prepared for anything his Doctor Who -mad teenage self wrote about the series to hit the internet, because it looks like his 1973 letter to the Radio Times is only the tip of the iceberg.

For starters, here’s a scan of an article he wrote in 1976, for issue two of the Doctor Who International Fan Club’s DWIFC magazine.

It’s an appreciation of designer Bernard Lodge’s “time tunnel” title sequences for the Third and Fourth Doctors. We reckon Capaldi was probably 17 when this was written.
