[swordlet]

Peter Purves, who played the Doctor's assistant Steven Taylor, was invited to the Phoenix Cinema in Leicester on Wednesday under false pretenses to view the two episodes, and he said: "My flabber has never been so gasted."

My flabber has never been so gasted.

Daleks Master Plan was broadcast once in the UK in 1965/66 and then never again bcos it was never picked up for overseas broadcast. there were 2 copies known to exist total. this is genuinely incredible news I knew we were getting a missing episode return but I can't believe it's actually DMP oh my god

The reason the TARDIS doesn't translate the Judoon is because despite looking like a police box, it refuses to talk to cops.

Ppl on twitter talking about redacting Dr who back to Peter capaldi. I say why stop there. Here's my pitch for a new season: open with Sylvester McCoy waking up from a nap. 'phew!' he says. 'that was a long nap. I had the strangest dream...' Then he steps out of the TARDIS, immediately pratfalls, hits his head, & regenerates into Billie Piper.

[penny-anna]

#this but unironically roll it back to nine#i'll never not hold he's the best one by far

start the next season with a fully reshot version of Nine's regeneration and at the end of it he turns into Billie Piper. the Doctor (Billie Piper) locks eyes with Rose (Billie Piper) and they both start screaming.

[penny-anna]

start the next season by playing the opening of Time and the Rani but when it cuts to the inside of the console room lying on the floor is a suspiciously Billie Piper shaped figure dressed in the Sixth Doctor's outfit and a curly wig

re-release of Logopolis where everything is the same but the Watcher has been digitally replaced with Billie Piper

I think the master probably showed up to Jo Grant's wedding in a paper thing disguise and when asked who he was answered 'oh let's just say I'm... An old friend'. When Jo was like 'i know it's you' he was like 'nooo you don't'

Everyone from UNIT wanted to kick him out but Jo was like no leave him be you'll ruin the reception so they just watched him suspiciously all day waiting for him to start shit but he never did.

[penny-anna]

I say he didn't try anything. He probably did some minor acts of mischief eg moving around the name cards to fuck w the seating arrangements. Helped himself to way too many canapes. That kind of thing.

Ace really had two really incredible canonical endings (becoming a time lord or becoming a vigilante on a time bike) and the nuwho writers decided to go with the “she became a billionaire ceo” ending instead. Literally the worst one.

[natequarter]

it's tempting to assume that the alien companions of doctor who speak the language of their planet. but much as earth doesn't have a language called "earth," but rather thousands of unique and varied languages, it is logical to assume that, say, alzarius has a whole variety of languages and that adric spoke one of them, not "alzarian". this is precisely what makes the destruction of traken so devastating: it's not the loss of one monolithic culture, one people, it's the loss of countless cultures and people, so many languages and ideas and ways of life. part of the tragedy is its unthinkable enormity, that traken cannot even be wholly remembered because there are elements of it which nyssa, as its sole survivor, never even knew of. that said romana does very much speak gallifreyan and this is for the simple reason that the time lords fucking suck

[natequarter]

#time lords would artificially unite their planet under one culture until any others were forgotten #Which is not a normal thing to do

truly. also i do think there are other peoples on gallifrey who speak other languages than gallifreyan, but the time lords appropriate the name gallifreyan for their own language to the exception of all else, essentially dehumanising (degallifreyising) the peoples they share a planet with and making them out to be ungallifreyan in stark contrast to the 'correctness' of time lord society

The ranking of doctor who stories from worst to best goes:

- stories that make you upset they are so bad

- boring

- this is just not good

- mediocre

- objectively good

- one you had fun with

- the ones that will haunt you for the rest of time

[natequarter]

the master isn't even like, on gallifrey that often. i mean the time lords are probably sick of him airing his divorce all over the capitol but that ex-renegade who once travelled with the doctor is probably a bigger concern for them because she's their Fucking President(/dictator)

[natequarter]

gallifrey-era romana is so fucking funny. she thinks she's so much better than the other versions of herself. past me is a naive fool. future me is unbearably horny. alternate me is evil. and as for me well i am the world's first ethical dictator
