Ian Geoffrey Levine (born 22nd of June, 1953) is a Northern English DJ who, decades ago, had produced a number of records by bands you'd never heard of, and the Pet Shop Boys. His work on the soul music scene may seem like he has some relevance, but his only notable trait in the popular culture is being the only Doctor Who fan older than the show itself.
Ian's a big fan of the British children's show and has acquired a degree of infamy in his attempts to meddle with it. In the late seventies he attempted to purchase copies of old episodes from the BBC, but found out that the tapes had been junked when he came to collect them. This started him on an a̶u̶t̶i̶s̶t̶i̶c̶ heroic crusade to recover these lost artefacts, which he had some degree of success in.
He prevented some tapes from being junked on that day when he arrived, and he has since helped return some other missing stories to the archives. This is something he's refused to let go of. It's been almost 40 years since he stopped some tapes from being junked and he still hangs onto that incident as proof that he "saved the programme." We'll get back to that.
Eventually Ian's status gotten even quite cosy with 1980s Who producer John Nathan Turner (FYI, they're both homosexuals, so make of that what you will). He became the continuity adviser for the show during the Colin Baker era and allegedly wrote part of Attack of the Cybermen, which most fans consider a shitty piece of wank.
During this time Doctor Who was in dire straights, the controller at the BBC of the time fucking hated it (who can blame him?) and put the show on 18-month hiatus in 1985. As a reaction, Ian got together the current cast and recorded a song to protest the idea of canning the show. 'Doctor in Distress' is a charity single written and produced by him, and the purest form of cringe known to man.
The show was brought back in 2005, becoming the ratings cow and tumblr fixation it is now. Levine returned, in all his sweaty glory, and was managed to piss off showrunner Russel T. Davies enough to be parodied in an episode titled Love and Monsters.
For context, the main character of Doctor Who is an alien that can change face. Since 1963, this part has always been played by a man, but starting with the 2017 Christmas special the mantle has been handed over to vagina-owner Jodie Whittaker. Glass ceilings, feminist agenda, yadda yadda yadda, point is that spergs had a good ree at each other about it.
This is where Ian comes in, because you know you had to act like a child about it, ending his 54-year love affair with the show on the belief that the BBC were trying to betray him. Soon after the companions were announced Ian took to twitter to quit the show for good! ...again.
Nothing of value has really been lost, but then again the fat sack of shit hasn't had the decency to get lost. Discount Marlon Brando is still having fits about the gender swap Doctor to this day.
In the absence of his favourite character's cock and balls, Ian Levine has been trying to recapture the show's spark out of his own pocket. This began with an animated reconstruction of the Douglas Adams-penned Doctor Who story Shada, egotistically called "The Levine Cut."
TL;DR: Legendary lolcow, flaming homosexual and closet misogynist. Wrote some of the worst music of all time and got his favourite show cancelled. Still impotent after 54 years.

I dug through more of Ian's social medias, his rants get funnier and funnier.
After all his fussing, he still watched the special on Christmas Day.
"I am disabled".
"FASCISM SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED."
"NO, CLEVER CLOGS".
Repeated, continuous menstruation over the lady Doctor.
Finally, he reviews the DVD release of a lost episode reconstruction, just to say "mine's was better."

Dedicated farmer @Prussian Blue provided Levine's LinkedIn, which includes him name-dropping his supposed industry friends:
I got some more drama from the archives.
Full context: A while back Ian made fun of an kid seen in an interview with Tom Baker, who turned out to be autistic. Other than the obvious pot/kettle situation, Ian dug himself deeper by making laughable non-apologies and playing the victim when those dang, dirty trolls went after him.
Speaking of which, I found an old thread on Who general cataloguing Levine's response to trolls feeding him false info about lost Doctor Who episodes, it's pretty funny. Not to mention @Prussian Blue provided us with Ian's home address:
Southlands
325 Uxbridge Road
Acton, London
W3 9RA
But I'm sure he can order his own pizzas.
Not content with sperging about Doctor Who and Babylon Five, Ian's moved on to critiquing Disney films with his signature prose.
@Prussian Blue has graced us again with alleged info from his friend who works with Levine.
And even when selling old records, Ian can provide a gem of an image.
But, in sadder news, Levine's dog died near the start of the month. F.
