A doctor who episode where the Tardis translation circuit breaks and the Doctor and companion get stranded on an alien planet and have to navigate the locals and the doctor only remembers five or six phrases of Glorbish
But...but I always thought Doctor Who was a serious show about real people with real issues. Remember that Christmas special where Rose was suffering from a crippling heroin addiction?
Get ready to party like a ... goblin? 🧌

Christmas special THE CHURCH ON RUBY ROAD comes 'The Goblin Song', streaming from Monday 11th December.
Dear Doctor Who fans about to start making up reasons why Millie Gibson has left after one series.
You do not know any of these people.
You were not in the room when these conversations happened.
You cannot see inside people's heads.
The end.
Who's old enough to remember when Orphan 55 was supposed to be the worst episode of doctor who ever?
I'm old enough to remember when it was supposed to be Love and Monsters, which practically makes me Victorian
I will be moving my twitter to my optimum platform: standing outside my house and saying mildly sarcastic things at regular intervals

Possible alternate ending of 73 yards:
Old Ruby says "I never did find out what happened to my mother. And I never found out what happened to the doctor. But that's okay. Its been a good life"
…and then it fades to black, roll credits & that's the last doctor who episode ever
Most of the series: okay so he's clearly remodelling Doctor Who for the new generation. I'm weirdly ok with that. Us millennials are the past. Go find new audiences, good luck to you.
Finale: y'know what? Screw it: here's SUTEKH!
Common opinion among Doctor Who fans is animations of popular Bigfinish stories should be made. I disagree. They were written specifically for an audio format. The dialogue reflects that. If you had visuals: you would notice.
"Oh look, a thing that I can see with my eyes!"
The Giggle - that was like watching living sugar. Somehow even more insane than last week's. Looking at it I'm surprised it took this long to do the toymaker as the concept is really well suited to the era of social media
Presumably this means media studies.
The Film and TV industry contributes billions to out economy, cultural exports are an effective form of soft power.
Sure, let's not have future generations study media because of an outdated tabloid buzz phrase. Great idea. 🤦

Wow it was like no time had passed. It was exactly a 2008 Doctor Who episode with a big budget. Was surprised how well the write around for "I can't meet Donna again" worked.
#DoctorWho
Between randomly deleting their socials & announcing everyone involved is leaving before airing even a second of footage, they seem to be doing a new form of anti-marketing for s13 - do everything so wrong that everyone will pay attention for the wrong reasons
#WhereIsDoctorWho
Love Island except there is only one person. A single attractive twentysomething wanders through a massive completely empty resort looking for people and finding no one. Even the cameras are left unmanned. At night we play whispering voices in an attempt to drive them mad.
Story idea: a ghost hunting TV show finally captures on camera footage of real life ghosts. The only problem is the ghosts are having sex and the footage is so pornographic that the network can't air it.
OH MY GOD. SOMEONE DID SOMETHING IN A FRANCHISE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT THING THAT THEY DID. THAT THING THAT THEY DID IS SUCH A THING THAT I CAN'T EVEN
Opening aside, yeah wild blue yonder was right up my street. Kinda reminded me of the stuff I liked about 'Smile' (the horror movie, not the Dr who episode)
Also I like that Wilf's final appearance is him talking about the end of the world as if it's totally normal
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Russell T Davies to return as Doctor Who Showrunner to celebrate the 60th anniversary in 2023, and series beyond. BBC Studios are partnering with Bad Wolf to produce.
Read the full story here:
I love that Tardis wiki has pages for literally everything and its always written in past tense - "Cows were domesticated mammals native to earth"
Implying they're not anymore. They were wiped out in the great Cow genocide of 2047
Got a comment on one of my Doctor Who series 11 videos saying "fuck you for not observing the boycott"....can you really call it a boycott if neither me nor the BBC noticed and it still got around 8 million viewing figures on average? ...yeah pretty successful boycott
Doctor Who challenge: describe to me in one sentence "What is Flux about?"
One sentence, 10 words max.
Best answers get in the He who Moans I eventually make
Angers me seeing so many anti-lockdowners bringing up people with depression as a reason lockdowns are bad.
No one gave a shit about us when the gov was cutting access to mental health services & yet now that everyone else is being inconvenienced, suddenly we're a major concern
If you suffer from depression/anxiety & are out of work: you are not lazy. You are not 'cheating the system'. You are not weak because you struggle with things everybody else sees as trivial. You are trying your best, no matter what the government says. You are better than them.
Six months is not long enough for an attempt at career rehabilitation for John Barrowman. I don't want to read a page spread in a piece of shit newspaper getting 'his side of the story' - ideally I'd want stories from the people who worked on those sets affected by his actions
Vaccine side effects so far: headache, muscle aches, shivering, and I also had a strange dream where a massive sentient paperclip was telling me to buy an Xbox Series X
50% of writing is fighting through the blinding pain of thinking "fuck this sucks, this sucks, I suck, I hate myself" and finishing it anyway. You can fix something that sucks later.
Orphan 55 is being called the "worst episode in Doctor Who history" - people said this about Battle of Ranskoor av Kolos last time, Lie of the Land before that, hasn't anyone noticed that there's a new supposed "WORST EPISODE EVER" every season? Does Hellbent get a free pass now?
RIP Terrance Dicks. There is nothing I could say that would be a fitting tribute to him, least of all in a tweet. He was almost too important to doctor who.
Keep seeing this advert and it really pisses me the fuck off. EMPLOYEES do not get to decide whether they work from home. That is the decision of their EMPLOYERS. Those employers are making EMPLOYEES not work from home because our negligent GOVERNMENT is allowing them the option
If there is any truth to the current Dr who missing episodes rumours, I want it to be one episode of the space pirates because I want to watch this fandom tear it's hair out trying to be grateful for something really shit
Finally watched Dr Who - Space Babies. My opinion: yeah I'm clearly not the target audience for a story like this. Now please fetch me my pipe and slippers and then I will finish the crossword and have a mid-afternoon snooze.

! The former showrunner makes an explosive return as he writes an episode of Ncuti Gatwa’s first season as the Doctor
BREAKING: Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall to leave Doctor Who in a trio of Specials, culminating in an epic blockbuster Special to air in autumn 2022 as part of the BBC’s Centenary celebrations.

Rewatching Dalek invasion of Earth - there's this chilling bit in Episode 3 where Susan and David hide and listen to a man running away from the Daleks as he screams about how they killed his wife before they kill him. Forgot how gnarly this serial was
Got on a train with my face mask on
guy stood opposite with no mask - woman sat with no mask on - both sneer smugly at me
Ticket officer comes past and goes "excuse me, could you cover your face? its mandatory now"
Both pull their shirts up over their faces
I felt so damn smug
Gf's mum is a carer. She suspected she had covid. Her employer wanted her to work extra shifts instead of going to get tested. She went and got tested - she has it. If she'd taken the extra shifts she would've spread it further. This is why testing matters
Dear people accusing furloughed workers like me of becoming "addicted" to furlough or "it's like a holiday"
I say this with the greatest of respect:
Please shut your stupid fucking mouth and never open it again.
I want to work. I want things to go back to normal. This is not fun

Liz Truss thanks colleagues for "one of the longest job interviews in history" as she is announced winner of the Tory leadership race and the next UK prime minister
The bias against Media Studies has always confused me. The media is a notoriously hard industry to break into, and yet Media Studies is apparently easy, stupid, a waste of time and not worth doing
Whenever a Doctor Who writer does something like this I always think "come on! think of the poor bastards who've spent about a million hours editing the TARDIS Wikia!"
Oh for fucks sake I literally just finished a video about the last bit of doctor who news, stuck it on patreon and now there's more news. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME WIN, DOCTOR WHO??
Talking to
@JayExci
about the Doctor's costumes
Jay: I think it's better if he has a dress sense rather than a standard costume, cause people don't wear the same thing everyday
Me: wait...actually I do wear the same thing everyday....oh my god I'm basically a cartoon character
Fyi: if you liked last night's Doctor Who: good! I wish I did!
I'll explain more when I do the video but a big bugbear of mine is nuwho's habit of overegging the Doctor's importance in the grander scheme of things and timeless children gives in to that in every possible way
If Palpatine is Rey's Grandfather, who was her grandmother?
Cause until someone answers that question, my headcanon is the thing that does that song at the beginning of the remastered version of Return of the Jedi
I was asked to be an extra in a friend's film. I had one line. I played a security guard. They seemed happy with me, but Emily burst out laughing and said I look like a puppy.
I have a very strong opinion on the new Dalek design for Revolution of the Daleks. It is an opinion so powerful that I cannot even share it with you because it is so intense that it will burn all your brains out with its importance. No, I must stay silent.
I for one trust the common sense of the British people who immediately went out panic-buying when the virus was first spreading and ended up spending more time in close personal contact with each other. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
#BorisJohnsonOut
Um...so I sort of accidentally ended up on a nude beach...and yes I did it, still can't believe I did it. Will post a pic if this tweet gets 100 likes :p (rear shot only, I have some standards :p)
"it's like everyone expects Russell to come back, Jodie to regenerate ba k into David Tennant and it to be 2008 again...."
....yep. It's 2008 again. Financial crisis and all.
Oh. Apparently people are calling Flux part 6 the new worst finale ever. Really? The Timeless Children has a 45 minute-long powerpoint presentation in it. Ranskoor has a potentially good revenge arc that lasts for about two scenes.
Does everyone have short term memory loss?
Also to the people who boycotted Doctor Who: well done for forming an opinion on something without actually watching it. Mary Whitehouse would be proud.
