Peter Capaldi: Doctor Who Fanzine Writer
Looks like lifelong Doctor Who fan Pete🐼r Capaldi's letter to the Radio Times was only the tip of the iceberg...

We hope is prepared for anything his Doctor Who -mad teenage self wrote about the series t♔o hit the internet, because it looks like his 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 thไe Third and Fourth Doctors. We reckon Capaldi was probably 17 when this was written.
This makes several of the SFX team feel a darn sight be✱tter about wasting their teenage years doing this kind of thing, instead of hanging around on street corners drinking🌳 white cider.
