‘Which iconic historical performance would each Doctor go back in time to watch?’: a chaotic thread 🧵

(In no particular order)

1. Twelfth Doctor/ Peter Capaldi- Sex Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall, Manchester, June 1976.

The infamous birth pangs of British post-punk.

Twelve would enjoy rubbing shoulders with Howard Devoto, possibly try to snog Pete Shelley, definitely try to ‘accidentally’ spill a pint over Morrissey only to miss and drench a furious Mark E Smith instead (scarier than the Daleks) and make awkward eye contact with a familiar looking man who he only realises is Ian Curtis several days later.

Mostly he enjoys catching out all the famous people over the years who lied about being there. Turns out Mick Hucknall missed most of it standing outside having a fag.
