An autograph was a type of signature, usually written by a famous person to an admirer.

History[]

Arriving at the Space Station Camera for a meeting with Joinson Dastari, the Second Doctor explained to his companion Jamie McCrimmon that he was "slipping in quietly" to avoid the "commotion" that would be caused should they have been discovered by the "most brilliant scientists in the universe" who had been assembled there; the Doctor anticipated that they would all be "scrambling around wanting [his] autograph." (TV: The Two Doctors)
