His spell as the Time Lord divided viewers.
But now former Doctor Who Peter Capaldi has outraged fans by charging £75 for an autograph.
The 59-year-old actor, who is one of the main draws at the annual London Comic Con, is giving a talk at the sci-fi-led event.
But has come under fire for demanding such a high price for his autograph.
He also asks attendees to fork out £65 for a photograph with him – or £225 for a 'diamond pass' consisting of an 'exclusive mug, photo, autograph and priority seat'.
While some fans welcomed the news last night, declaring the Scots star to be a 'huge signing' at the three-day event at London's Olympia, others were less than impressed.
Writing on a Facebook fanpage, John Hogg posted: 'I feel sorry for younger fans. I think this is just taking the p*** – most autographs are average price £20-40.'
Richard Cambridge posted: 'That's out the box. I'm going to sound old [but].... in the late 80s it was free to get 3 or 4 autographs from one guest.'
Pearl Mackie, the Doctor's companion Bill Potts in the last series, is also charging £35 for an autograph and photograph at the event in July whilst Colin Baker, who played the sixth incarnation, is charging a mere £15 per autograph.
Capaldi played the role from 2013 until the end of last year, and split opinion among fans. Viewing figures averaged around 7.9million under Christopher Eccleston, but fell to 5.5million during Glasgow-born Capaldi's tenure.
