At boarding school, Charles and his fellow students would eagerly gather in the TV room after dinner to watch The Doctor, competing for the best seat amidst a crowd of 50 boys vying for 20 chairs.
Despite the show's perceived flaws, including "cheap and flimsy sets and costumes," Charles found Dr. Who to be "the highest of all art."
