My mum had a go at watching the first five minutes of Doctor Who with me.

Mum: Is that girl...
Me: Billie Piper. She was married to Chris Evans.
Mum: Where do I know that actor from?
Me: He's Todd from Coronation Street.
Mum: I thought it was him. And who's that?
Me: That's the Doctor. Um, the actor's Christopher Eccleston. You won't have seen him in anything.
Mum: Who was the nice blond one who was a vet?
Me: Peter Davison, Mum.
Mum: [wistful] He was lovely.

Then after expressing surprise that 8 million people watch this (Davison-less) show, she wandered off, missing my glee at seeing Fran from Black Books play the doctor. Meanwhile, I freaked out at the realization that I fancy someone my *mother* fancies. Urgh.
