During a recent appearance on James Corden's Late Late Show, Tennant was quizzed by the host about his craziest encounters with Doctor Who viewers and began by defending the fandom.
"I think sci-fi fans get a bad rap, " he said, "because of all the things that can be your hobby and your passion what a lovely thing to have."
