People change all the time: they get new clothes, new hair styles, new spouses. But for some of us, our innate geekiness is always there. And it’s here in this video about Star Trek fandom from 1979.

Sidenote: An acquaintance once interviewed Colin Baker and told me he was a genuinely nice guy.

If you think the Fifth Doctor’s clothes aren’t wearable on the streets, you would be right and wrong. Peter Davidson’s character didn’t wear a costume…he wore a uniform. This is what cricket players wore on the field. They did not, however, wear a stalk of celery.
