I consider myself a Doctor Who fan .... and I can't say I've ever seen
this Ian Levine before.
 
Which Doctor or Doctor's Companion did he play??

 
He was JNT’s unofficial, unpaid continuity advisor during the
eighties. And since then has helped find and/or reconstruct some
of the missing episodes.

 
Ah!! Well done him for that!!
 

OTOH he was also the person to blame for ‘Doctor in Distress.’
 

??

His day job was in the record industry, so when DW’s 1986 season
was delayed by a few months, Levine wrote a protest song and
got it released as a single.

This was the start of start of him thinking of himself as a guiding
light and inspiration to self-important, entitled fans who want
DW to be exactly as they want it, when they want it.
