Not even a real Doctor.

 

Dr Spock is some other guy selling baby books.

 

As played by Leonard Nimoy, a Boston-raised polymath of Ukrainian parentage who eventually learned to embrace the pixie-eared half-Vulcan who made him an international icon, the starship Enterprise’s science officer was our appointment to view in those glory years when those of us too young to see science fiction at the cinema snaffled it up on TV. It was Mr – never Doctor – Spock who kept his head while all around were losing theirs, whether to a sexy female alien like fallible farmboy Captain Kirk, or amid some engine-room catastrophe like Scotty. (I seem to remember my mum having at least one baby book by the famous American paediatrician and Olympic rowing medallist Doctor Spock, who empowered mothers with his 1946 book Baby and Child Care.

The Dr Spock you mention is quoted in "Thought for the Day," this year. Great thread, you should read it.

 

Leonard Nimoy? Never really got into Star Trek, so nae that bothered. Will be more upset when Peter Sutcliffe dies.
