Charles Dickens: How exactly are you a “fan”? In what way do you resemble a means of keeping oneself cool?
Doctor: No, it means fanatic, devoted to you… Mind you, that American bit in Martin Chuzzlewit, what’s that about? Was that just padding or what? It’s rubbish that bit.
Charles Dickens: I thought you were my fan?
Doctor: Oh, well, if you can’t take criticism… Do the death of Little Nell. It cracks me up.
From Doctor Who – Season 1 Episode 3: ‘The Unquiet Dead’ (1×03)
