Yes - well if he can wear a bikini in public :)

My Radio TImes has just been delivered and I have got Mr Bush as the doctor on my cover = though I shall not be collecting all the others ,For nostalgias sake I would have liked Patrick Troughton but am happy to go with Mr Bush in the easy on the eye category :)
