I wonder...

[hmpf]

if Sam and Gene ever argue about the relative merits of the various Doctors. Gene, of course, predates Doctor Who, he had a Wholess childhood (my god, he's prehistoric!), but if he did start to watch the show at some point, his allegiance probably lies with Hartnell or Troughton. For Sam, on the other hand, the One True Doctor must be either Pertwee (though he may be just a tad too young for that) or Tom Baker. Baker, probably, simply because that must have been the predominant Doctor of his childhood.

Hmm...

Another factor that just now occurred to me:

Sam has daddy issues. He may be more attached to older male characters than to younger ones, on TV. Though I'm not sure how good a father figure Tom Baker makes... possibly Sam's Doctor would be Three, after all.
