SIR – In response to John Phillpott’s column ‘Oh Grow Up’ (Worcester News, April 27) regarding Tom Nichols, aged 22, offering stays at his home filled with Dr Who memorabilia to raise money for the Scout Association.

AllI can say is, way to spoil it for everyone, John.

An industrious young man tries to raise money and you claim to support him by then criticising him and every Dr Who watcher over the age six.

Perhaps the “mass infantilisation” of society is an attempt to hide from the state of affairs in the world today.

We could all do with a dose of escapism and get away from the Scrooges of the world (hint, hint).I wonder if your biggest fan George Cowley is a Dr Who viewer?
