Sure, but Tom Baker, who preceded Davison was 40 when he became the Doctor and Colin Baker, who replaced him, was 41. Methinks this makes Davison a statistical anomaly.
In fact, the eleven Doctors to date average 41 years in age. The oldest doctor was the first one, white-haired William Hartnell (55). At 27, Smith is the youngest. He and Davison are the only two Doctors under 35. ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Adrianne Brennan <adrianne.bren...@...> wrote: > > Peter Davison was 29 when he took on the role, so I think it's just > coincidence. :) > > ~ "Where love and magic meet" ~ > http://www.adriannebrennan.com > Experience the magic of the Dark Moon series: > http://www.adriannebrennan.com/books.html#darkmoon > Dare to take The Oath in this erotic fantasy series: > http://www.adriannebrennan.com/books.html#the_oath > The future of psychic sex - Dawn of the Seraphs (m/m): > http://www.adriannebrennan.com/dawnoftheseraphs.html > > > On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 10:54 AM, Kelwyn <ravena...@...> wrote: > > > It occured to me that there is a "Benjamin Button" thing going on with the > > good Doctor.
