I was introduced to Russell T Davies' work through DOCTOR WHO. In 2005, he revived the show and created an entire generation of obsessed sci-fi British nerds - including me. Hell, I now run a podcast dedicated to the show.

As I got older, I went through his previous work and discovered a wealth of great television and storytelling. He started his career on DARK SEASON, CENTURY FALLS and QUEER AS FOLK (TV shows which, I must admit, I have not seen). Then, he produced his early masterpiece: THE SECOND COMING. If you haven't seen it, it stars a pre-Ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston in the role of Jesus Christ. Yes, really. It's one of the most interesting takes on religion I've ever seen and it still holds up.

And, then, a pre-Tenth Doctor David Tennant took on the role of CASANOVA, which would eventually lead him to even greater roles. Then, DOCTOR WHO. Then, TORCHWOOD and THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES and, my personal favourite, CUCUMBER; what must it be like for older gay people, who grew up in a time of such intolerance, watching a world around them becoming increasingly gay-friendly? An utterly slept-on masterpiece; perhaps his greatest work.

Then, A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL and YEARS AND YEARS and IT'S A SIN and NOLLY (the latter of which I had the privilege of seeing the premiere at the BFI Southbank) and… DOCTOR WHO again? This time with Mr Ncuti Gatwa. An illustrious career, edited down to a single minute. I hope you enjoy this montage/tribute/trailer, whatever you want to call it.

the doctor dna-scanning ruby like immediately after meeting her is SO funny he's still traumatized from amy's pregnancy and the clara echoes he said we are getting AHEAD of this nonsense

the ninth doctor was lowkey so under appreciated. he was the perfect combination of rascal (mostly) benevolent god and slut

DOCTOR WHO 1.01 ✧ rose

Do you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standing still.

I know it's because they both have Issues TM but in retrospect it's a little bit funny that Donna is insecure about her place with The Doctor and wonders whether she deserves to travel the stars or is worthwhile as a friend while Ten is just sitting in the corner like "if I get separated from Donna I'm gonna explode the universe and then myself" and then he does.

one of my favorite feelings is starting a new show and having that: ….are they…having gay… sexual tension?? And then logging onto tumblr dot com and seeing gifsets that show several thousand other people also agree that it was, indeed, gay sexual tension

Ok ok wait I'm rewatching the very beggining of ep 5 when Aziraphale talks about the 1965 doctor who annual and just

Aziraphale: "The 1965 Annual was indeed never printed, *looks at Crowley*, due to problems at the BBC"

Crowley:

Crowley, what happened in september 1965 at the BBC..?

I finally updated this piece! I extended it a bit and fixed the Tardis doors 😆 you can get prints of the new version at my store too if you are interested 😊

yellow jacket...blue and white stripes....dark jeans...orange head....the Doctor heard he was going to mysteriously disappear in a paradox and said oh I have the PERFECT fit inspo for that!

reminding everyone that the in-universe problem with The Doctor and The Master isn’t “ooo horrible nasty enemies who hate each other and don’t get along and fight all the time but are also in love”

the problem is that they get along. the problem is that they can’t stop themselves from falling naturally into a rhythm of riffing off one another and enjoying the other’s company. THAT is the problem. the problem is that it works and that’s the thing that caused all their issues. they like one another. they just click.

[mobius-m-mobius]

Yes! Oh, that came out a bit quick.

David Tennant as the 10th Doctor for @too-funky✨
