One of the episodes of "Doctor Who' being repeated by Our ABC tonight
is 'Love and Monsters' where a group of weirdos is infiltrated by 'an ordinary man', Mr Skinner, 'obsessed with the Doctor joins a group of like-minded people hoping to meet the Time Lord in person'.

However, one of their members has a sinister motive and a harmless
hobby soon becomes a living nightmare. "Are you an absorbathon??"

Where does this 'ordinary man'/absorbathon originate from??

He is Bart Simpon's school principal. ;-P
Although in one episode it was revealed that he stole the "Seymour
Skinner" identity from someone else and his real name is actually
"Armin Tamzarian".

D'oh! Damn typos!! That was meant to say "Bart Simpson's ...". :-(
