Mr Tickle

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Mr Tickle

Mr Tickle was a fictional character with his own series of books.

Bernice Summerfield made a mental note to herself once: "Dear diary, I'm not writing this down – if I could I'd be Mr Tickle – so I'm going to have to memorize this, or paint it on the walls." (PROSE: Falls the Shadow)

The Tenth Doctor asked Rose Tyler if she wanted to meet Mr Tickle, but then decided that he might be annoying since he lived in a universe of nominative determinism. (AUDIO: Infamy of the Zaross)

When Anya Kingdom protested that the Tenth Doctor had called her into an dangerous environment just to hold a switch, the Doctor defended that the process had to be simultaneous and he was not "made of arms" like Mr. Tickle only for her to not get the reference. (AUDIO: The Wrong Woman)

Mr. Tickle was the titular protagonist in the very first Mr. Men book by Roger Hargreaves, published in 1971.

The inspiration for this character came from a question by Hargreave's 8-year-old son, Adam Hargreaves[1], who himself would go on to write all fourteen books for Dr. Men, a Doctor Who spin on the iconic children's series, beginning in 2017.
