He doesn't look a lot like Eleven. Maybe Two.

Totally.

Could be. Or a cunning disguise, of course.

Maybe. The little Hitler moustache is a little un-Doctorish.

Interesting idea. I can see possible crossover fic potential.

I always wondered if Donald Belissario had ever seen Mr Benn, 'cos it seems a bit proto-Quantum Leap to me - Mr. Benn (Sam) leaping back and forth through history, and occasionally the shopkeeper (Al) pops up (suddenly, as if by magic) to give him important information...

It's possible, but there's a long history of fictional shopkeepers putting people into odd circumstances apart from that.

Disguise. So that Mr Benn wouldn't recognise him in other circumstances....

OK, that works for me. Thanks!
