no disrespect to mr briggs but i can’t imagine being his wife. imagine asking him to talk dirty to you and he accidentally goes into dalek voice fuckgin “exterminate that (redacted)” i would fucking grab my kids, car, clothes, and everything else and hasta la vista outta there. that would just be too much to handle
tiny brain: the doctor is half human on their mother’s side!
big brain: well Actually, in the Virgin New Adventure novels, gallifreyans are genetically engineered in machines called looms
[8 gifs of the 1st doctor. gif 1: the doctor leans backwards against the tardis console, talking directly to the camera. their head is bandaged. the lighting is stark, the rest of the tardis is in darkness, and the doctor is brightly lit, nearly like a chiaroscuro painting. the camera is slowly zooming in towards their face. subtitles read “I said it would take the force of a total solar system to take the power away from my ship. We are at…”
gif 2: “…the very beginning, the new start of a solar system! Outside, the atoms are rushing towards each other.
gif 3: “Fusing, coagulating, unt.il minute little collections of matter are created. And so the process goes on…”
gif 4: “…and on until dust is formed. Dust then becomes solid entity.”
gif 5: the doctor looks excited, holding their hands out in front of them and shaking them for emphasis. “A new birth, of a sun and its planets!”. They make two fists, and hold them in front of their mouth, as if they can’t contain their excitement. they then turn around.
gif 6: a new shot, the doctor clutches the tardis console and leans hunched over it. ian grabs them from behind by their shoulders. ian says “But, Doctor, where are we? When we left the planet Skaro, where did you ask the machine to take us to, Think Doctor!”. he shakes the doctor slightly for emphasis.
gif 7: the doctor, speaking over their shoulder replies “I had hoped to reach your planet Earth. Skaro was in the future…”
gif 8: ”…and I used the fast return switch.” the doctor holds their hand to their mouth thoughtfully. ian says “The fast return switch?! You’ve sent us back too far!”]
Surely it must’ve been a bit weird for people living in Cardiff watching RTD era Doctor Who to be seeing all these buildings they walk past on at least a semi regular bases, depending where in Cardiff they live, and being told, nope, this is London. These buildings are in London now.
I’d expand this to include wondering how they feel about seeing *their* American themed diner said to be in America in Moffat era, but I’m still kinda stuck on ‘why does Cardiff have an American themed diner?’
