Behind the scenes

The website whoisdoctorwho.co.uk had a list of sightings of the Doctor from which people had ostensibly been submitting to Clive Finch, a conspiracy theorist character from Rose, who had pictures of the Doctor's ninth incarnation on the website, asking if anyone had seen him.

A submission from H.J. Hardeman claimed to have seen "someone very much like him about a year ago". He had tried swapping "Edwardean gear" [sic] at an Oxfam in Sheffield for a pair of jeans and trainers.
