There is a shot in this story that literally centres around her bum 🤦

After one story with a mercifully halfway-practical costume, Nicola Bryant is stuck with another look designed for the appeal of middle-aged men. 😅

Peri is just emphatically Not Having A Good Time aboard the TARDIS. Tegan, at the very least, got to have homoerotic subtext with Nyssa.

I'm approaching midway through season 22 at the moment and I'm starting to suspect that whoever was writing the scripts had no idea how to write for Peri.

Apparently, Nicola Bryant approached the character as being something of a thrill seeker, but the dialogue just makes her come across as a bit of a worrying drip. 🫤

I am loving the localised onomatopoeia in these international editions of Thud!

While the Chinese go for the triple-whammy of Peng! Peng! Peng!

Re-reading Jingo for the umpteenth time, I've always known the whole "second bowman" concept was a reference to the JFK assassination but I've never put two and two together on some of the other references, the two main ones being that Snowy Slopes fired from the back storage rooms of the UU library, a storage room filled with textbooks, a reference to the Texas school book depository.

And the second reference actually made me groan. Angua and Carrot meet up with a Gnoll named stoolie, a regular informant of the watch. I believe this is the first time we actually meet a gnoll in the discworld series, seems like a random inclusion in the story. Then i realised.

In the UK police informants are commonly known as a "Grass"

So stoolie... is a "Grassy Gnoll"

God damnit STP, still taking me to school.

I wonder how much of the reason the doctor is nicer to peri in vengeance on varos is just because it was originally written for five and nyssa. because I thought he was getting better and then he just goes back to being mean the next episode.

also I thought this side character was almost being treated like a second companion. maybe she was replacing tegan?

Somebody had to actually dig the holes in the movie ‘Holes’.

Three: I have developed a fool proof way of detecting if someone is evil.

The Brig: Oh yes? What's that?

Three: If they dislike Jo, they are evil.

The Brig: That checks out.

The Master: I like Miss. Grant.

Three:

Three: Okay, back to drawing board.

[headcanonsandmore]

the Master: I dislike all of your companions equally.

3: UNIT was attacked by aliens while you were away.

the Master: IS MISS GRANT OKAY?

[headcanonsandmore]

Come. Sit. Sit on my comfy chair.

Three: “Brigadier, I’ve found us an excellent new curry house.”

REALLY vibing with how the third doctor helped jo over the barbed wire in the sea devils. did he cut it? did he lift her over? absolutely not!! he threw himself down on top of it, flat on the ground, so she could walk over where he was pulling it down. and honestly?? who wouldn’t do that for jo
