To talk about the importance of an imaginary hero is very difficult. And the characters are very important. They tell us something about ourselves. The history books tell them who we were, the documents - about who we are now. The characters talk about who we want to be. Many of our heroes depress me.
But, you know, when I created this hero, Doctor Who, and he had no gun, and a screwdriver so he could fix it. He was given not a tank, not a warship, he was given a telephone booth, from which you can call for help. He was not given the powers, pointed ears, or a Sizzling rays, he was given an additional heart. They gave him two hearts! And it is amazing that a time when we won't need a hero like the Doctor would never come.
