Neil Gaiman has called out a “true Doctor Who fan” who criticised a young boy’s Dalek costume.
American Gods and Good Omens author Gaiman shared the post to his followers, writing: “True Doctor Who Fans know you can hold the whisk in either hand.
Dobson shared the message alongside the adorable photo of his then 18 month-year-old son, writing: “Well, this is a charming DM from a ‘true fan’, received this morning.”
“Stop posting photos of that kid in his crap Dalek costume – he’s not even holding the energy weapon in the right hand,” the message read, adding that he was “embarrassing proper Doctor Who fans”.
