So who's that signing a picture of himself?
Nice to see you - Sylvester McCoy signs a picture for fan Cliff Royle from Benfleet Picture: LUAN MARSHALL
Yes, that's right - Doctor Who himself, Sylvester McCoy, when he visited a science fiction fair in south Essex.
The fair was held at the Basildon campus of the Thurrock and Basildon College and attracted hundreds of sci-fi fans.
Sadly for Sylvester - just one of eight actors to play the great time-travelling doc - he won't be at the Tardis console when the BBC starts filming a new version of the series next year.
Essex actor Alan Davies is hotly tipped to play the doctor.
