The final piece of Jamie's Christmas jigsaw was put in place this morning when I found Doctor Who in Toymaster, Keighley.
I have spent much of the last 10 days trying to track him down him in Guiseley, Leeds, Shipley and Otley, and it was a relief to finally lay my hands on him.
However, as I walked out of the shop clutching my prize, I had a thought.
My frustrations can be nothing compared to what the Daleks and Cybermen must go through. They've been chasing the Doctor for thousands of years and, other than once a series, they can never find him. And when they do, he escapes.
I'll have to remember to tell Jamie how privileged he now is. And warn him not to let his hero enter the TARDIS alone.
