Sean Pertwee, son of Third Doctor actor Jon Pertwee, recently posted a fan edited picture of himself onto his Instagram in which he’s been made to look like his father.

And it’s really rather awesome.

This isn’t the first time Sean has been aware of his visual similarity to his father. Last year he posted his Halloween costume to Instagram…

He added the caption:

“Guess Who I’m going as tonight ? #isthereadoctorinthehouse #nyc.”

It’s taken the Internet by storm, so we’re pretty sure Steven Moffat would’ve seen it. How would you feel if Sean appeared in Doctor Who playing his father’s iconic role? A Third and Twelfth Doctor special? Just think how similar Capaldi’s Time Lord is to Pertwee’s! In a previous interview, Sean revealed that his dad knew Peter and that Capaldi is:

…an extremely lovely gentleman. He was very kind to my family when my father passed away, he was big fan of my dad’s actually.

Sean is currently starring in Gotham on FOX as Alfred Pennyworth, which has been renewed for a second season, and also appeared as Lestrade in Elementary, the (actually fantastic) take on Sherlock.
