The thirty-second instalment of The Daft Dimension was published in DWM 510.
Summary
At a weekly Doctor Who fan meet, a woman reads in the newspaper about the speculation that the new Doctor could be a woman. A grumpy older man brands the idea outrageous, insisting that whoever is next will never beat "whatsisname" in the part. The other fans try to figure out which actor he is referring to, guessing Capaldi, Smith, Tennant. The older man says that he means the one in the film, prompting them to incorrectly guess Peter Cushing. Finally, he reveals the actor's name to be Brian Donlevy. The other fans realise he is talking about Quartermass, and that he hasn't watched Doctor Who at all.
