Me vs. the Doctor Who 2023 specials

The Star Beast: [exists]

Me: Finally! The Doctor and Donna together again! Donna being her wonderful self, which now also means wonderful mother! Rose! The Meep! My chosen pronoun is the definite article!

Wild Blue Yonder: [exists]

Me: Gravity jokes! Spaceship! One hour of the Doctor and Donna’s show, uninterrupted banter! Wilf!

The Giggle: [exists]

Me: No. I can’t do it.

The Giggle: [exists]

Me: You don’t understand. I can’t watch my favourite Doctor go away AGAIN. I cannot. I WILL NOT.

The Giggle: Come on, you know you want to watch me!

Me: I will ignore you forever so my Doctor will never regenerate and will get to be with his best mate and-

The Giggle: What about Ncuti?

Me: Good point. Why can’t I have both?!

The Giggle: [makes incredibly convincing puppy eyes]

Me: What?! I CAN have both?! David Tennant AND Ncuti Gatwa? My Doctor gets a family! HAPPY ENDING FOR EVERYONE! I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Bonus scene

The Giggle: In Russell T Davies you should trust.

Me: That sounded vaguely American. Aren’t you supposed to be British?

The Giggle: I mean, I’m on Disney+ now….

Me: Oh, right. Well, in Russell T Davies we trust :)

I LOVE how "The Nobles" are so underwhelmed by The Doctor.

Like Jackie Tyler was all "I'll defend them to the ends of the earth."

Francine Jones thought he was so dangerous she was helping the government track him down.

Everyone pretty much has stars in their eyes whenever they're with The Doctor but the Nobles?;

"Yes Millennia old alien, I know the knowledge of the universe is living in your head...but...

Rose: Why are you assuming their gender?

Sylvia: *punch in face

Shaun (seeing lord only knows what going down in his kitchen): Something smells nice!

The only exception is Wilf. You know why? Yes Wilf has stars in his eyes when he sees The Doctor but The Doctor has stars in his eyes when he looks at Wilf.

"are you my mummy?" 🤝 "hey, who turned out the lights?" 🤝 "my arms are too long."

the holy trinity of doctor who quotes that sound fairly normal out of context but are actually mildly terrifying

[catabasis]

it's hilarious to me that all the crazy things that are happening in Doctor Who now are caused by Fourteen's brilliant idea of using salt and invoking a superstition at the edge of the universe

Behind the Scenes of Wild Blue Yonder - Part Three

Excerpt from Benjamin Cook's article on Bernard Cribbins in DWM #598

It’s a crisp Monday morning in Camden Market, and all is OK with the world. Because it’s 16 May 2022 and, just for one day, Bernard Cribbins is back on Doctor Who. “Wilfred Mott! Now I feel better,” declares the Doctor, stepping out of the blue police box parked up on the cobbles. “Now nothing is wrong. Nothing in the whole wide world. Hello, my old soldier.” A pause. “Shall I give you a hug,” asks David Tennant, “before I say, ‘Hello, my old soldier’?” “Yeah, why not,” replies Bernard, sat in his wheelchair, centre stage, framed against the iconic TARDIS. “Give us a cuddle!” Clad in Wilf’s cozy brown coat and flat cap, Bernard is rehearsing the final, climactic scene of Wild Blue Yonder, the second of Doctor Who’s three 60th Anniversary Specials, alongside David Tennant and Catherine Tate. None of them knows it, but this will be Bernard’s last working day in a TV, film and theatre career that spans almost 80 years (he started work aged 14, at Oldham Rep in January 1943). It’ll also be Wilf’s final bow. “I never thought I’d see you again,” he tells the Doctor, welling up. “After all these years. Oh, Doctor, that lovely face.” A chuckle. “It’s like springtime… Is it David’s face I’m looking at?” queries Bernard. “Yes, you haven’t seen him in years,” the director, Tom Kingsley, jumps in, “and you could not be happier. You’re playing it just right, Bernard.” “Well,” says Bernard, “no acting required.” He’s genuinely delighted to be reunited with his Doctor Who co-stars, for the first time, on screen, in 13 years. “And that is just materialising, is it? – that thing?” he asks of the TARDIS. “Wilf’s been here, waiting?” “That’s right,” says Tom.

13 didn’t take Yasmin khan on an underwater date and confess her feelings at a beach overlooking the horizon and get carried bridal style and for the Doctor to canonically express romantic attraction to a person of the same gender only for you all to kick and scream about the Doctor being finally visibly queer when it’s mentioned in a passing conversation about Isaac newton

The only way to keep him in a chair in a "normal" way is through extraordinary means
