}}{{you may|John Lucarotti|n1=the writer who based this character on himself}}

'''John Lucarotti''' was a [[human]] in [[France]] who, on one occasion, met the [[First Doctor]] while dining at a [[restaurant]]. The encounter was shocking to him, as while he did know of the Doctor he did not believe that he was real. After the Doctor mentioned [[St Bartholomew's Day massacre]], Lucarotti began to run his eyes, believing that his old age was causing the Doctor to appear. As he did this, the Doctor vanished; seeming to confirm his beliefs. However, when he asked for his check from his [[Waiter (The Meeting)|waiter]], he was informed that the old man he had been talking to had already taken care of his tab. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Meeting (short story)|The Meeting]]'')

[[John Lucarotti]] was a real-world writer who had worked on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' during the [[William Hartnell|Hartnell]] era, and who also wrote ''[[The Meeting (short story)|The Meeting]]''. Although it is not directly explained in the story, the underlining implication is that that character within the story is himself, being visited by a character whom he had once written for.
