The point of this scene is to show that the series is still alive and moving on constantly from one actor to another. From Hartnell, to Smith, to Gatwa, it's forever growing and changing! The Matt Smith version still exists, but I'm so happy to see Ncuti here now too!

The way I thought this scene was Wild Blue Yonder, and all the spaceship scenes for that matter... We really know so little about next week and I'm scared
#DoctorWho
Possibly boring theories about who Mrs Dobson is:
-Ruby from the future
-Ruby's mum
-The Rani because we must always believe any new character is the Rani
-Probably someone new

The Ninth Doctor: 0 confirmed kills
Surprisingly, the Ninth Doctor is not directly responsible for the demize of any living creatures. But he does like to watch.
The Tenth Doctor: 5,026,510 confirmed kills + "millions" of Daleks + "MY CHIILLDDRREENNN"
The Christmas Invasion - Sycorax leader
Tooth And Claw - The Werewolf
Age Of Steel - 6500 Cybermen (with help from Mickey)
Doomsday - 5,000,000 Cybermen and "millions" of Daleks
Breaking news! 796 episodes of
#DoctorWho
are coming to BBC iPlayer on November 1st! When asked why it's not all 800, the BBC responded with "some prick is withholding the rights to that first story so fans will have to miss out on watching Ian trip over". Absolutely devastating.
A thread on how many life-forms the Doctor Who companions have killed (modern era):
(This thread was inspired by Council of Geeks' new YouTube series "MCU BODY COUNT" (link at the end of the thread))
And that's it! It gets tricky to get an exact number in some cases as it's often that the Doctor will wipe out large groups at once.
But it's safe to say that every Doctor is a mass-murderer, except for our golden boy, the Ninth Doctor.
How would you rank each Doctors first full episodes since 2005? This is my list:
#DoctorWho
1. The Eleventh Hour
2. The Church On Ruby Road
3. Rose
4. The Christmas Invasion
5. Deep Breath
6. The Woman Who Fell To Earth
Planet Of The Dead - Hits a stingray with a bus
Honourable (uncounted) mentions - John Smith, the DoctorDonna, Captain Adelaide Brooke, however many Daleks the metacrisis Doctor killed.
"The man who never would" clearly has done a number of times.
I wish standard Doctor Who episodes had an extra 10 minutes because I often feel as though we're missing out on some sweet scenes between the main cast that really add a lot to the episode
#DoctorWho
The Runaway Bride - "MY CHIILLDDRREENNN"
The Lazarus Experiment - Professor Lazarus
The Fires Of Pompeii - 19,995 people and 4 Pyrovile giants (possibly more off-sceen) alongside Donna
The Next Doctor - Miss Hartigen, 4 Cybermen and 2 Cyber-shades (possibly more off-sceen)
I am so sick of some fans saying that the straight white showrunner had better representation than RTD, yknow a gay man who's first era alone contained plenty of representation and now his second era has so much more! Please, if Chibnalls representation is enough (1/5)
No matter what, I will always love Doctor Who for being different to anything else - for trying new things and being experimental! Sometimes it lands, sometimes it doesn't, but that's part of the fun of the show and I'll love it forever
#DoctorWho
The War Doctor: 7 confirmed kills
Day Of The Doctor - 6 Daleks get TARDIS smacked, and a Dalek gets triple-sonic'd
Those "billion, billion Daleks" kill eachother on their own crossfire.
But let's be real, this incarnation has probably killed more life forms than any other.
The Eleventh Doctor: 6,036 confirmed kills + Dalek mothership
Day Of The Moon - 2 Silence's
A Good Man Goes To War - 12th Cyber-legion (A legion is defined as a force of 4000-6000 people, so we'll go with 6000)
God Complex - Minotaur
Asylum Of The Daleks - 16 Daleks
THIS felt like an anniversary special. A new story that's not hampered with cameos but instead brings back stuff from the show's history in order to look towards the future. It says goodbye to the past by leaving 14 on Earth and hello to the future with 15 ❤️❤️
#DoctorWho
I think this is the best example of "just give them red eyes, then they'll look evil!" there's ever been cause they really go from all innocent and sweet to creepy af. The shows best alien design?
#DoctorWho
Let's not start arguing about this video again please? It's a well put-together critique that sure, *some* bigots have looked at the title and gone "HA HA WOMAN DOCTOR BAD" but that's not Jays video at all, thats people twisting things to fit their own narrative. Dont do the same
Honourable (uncounted) mentions - The Cyber-planner, whoever else rocked up on Trenzalor
This raggedy man said goodnight to more people than just his mother-in-law.
Dear early 'The Star Beast' viewers. I am very happy you've gotten to watch the episode already, and I'm very jealous, but please can we keep to just non-spoilery reviews? I don't wanna know what does or doesn't feature in the episode. Thank you.
Now granted I could and have said the same during the previous era, I and many fans still gave it a chance, hoping our favourite show would turn out good during those last 5 years. Going into a new era that you've not seen yet with nothing but hate is just spiteful and pathetic.
What Moffat did with Missy is probably the best thing you could do with the Master as a character at that point. Cause for decades that character was hardly changing and honestly more of the same would be stale af. Then they brought him back so that he can actually be stale af.
Honourable (uncounted) mention - clockwork man (or did he fall?).
Surprisingly, the "darker" Doctor, as the series 8 marketing would say, has less kills than Eleven.
This is the only New Who story where literally everybody dies. Granted Bill probably gets the best out of it and the Doctor takes another episode to drop dead but damn it's a brutal story all in the name of doing what's right and that's so very Doctor Who I love it
The Doctor’s final scene with Nardole in The Doctor Falls is genuinely wonderful.
Nardole wanting to die with his two friends, but the Doctor demands he goes and lives. Genuinely heartbreaking.
“My question is this Nardole. Which one of us is stronger”
The Twelfth Doctor: 81 confirmed kills + Skaro citadel + floor 507
Into The Dalek - Ross
The Witches Familiar - Roughly 38 seen Daleks + the rest of the city
Before The Flood - The Fisher King
Hell Bent - The General
The Doctor Falls - 40 Cybermen and more off-sceen
Dinosaurs On A Spaceship - Solomon
Day Of The Doctor - A Dalek
Time Of The Doctor - Wooden Cyberman, 16 Daleks (including the 3 fighter pods which are operated by 3 Daleks each) and the Dalek mothership
Bonus round! Because this suddenly made a return.
The Fourteen Doctor: Two confirmed kills
Wild Blue Yonder - The No-things.
Now their bodies will never be the right shape 💀
Seeing ppl get mad that the female Doctor didnt regenerate straight into the black Doctor despite the fact Ncuti will be the Doctor for years when David is only getting 3 eps. It's not like they've introduced a black Doctor during a white Doctors era only to do nothing with them.
One thing I love in Doctor Who are these ominous shots of the TARDIS. This ordinary yet mystical box can be so unsettling sometimes, especially when characters are unaware of it or why it's here and I love it when it's framed that way.
The Thirteenth Doctor: 130 confirmed kills + a triple genocide
Arachnids In The UK - counted 60 spiders (probably more)
Resolution - A Dalek
Revolution Of The Daleks - at least 65 Daleks (probably more) and a TARDIS
The Vanquishers - Triple genocide
Eve Of The Daleks - 3 Daleks
Imagine watching your crush drown in a puddle only for her to chase you across the universe just to end up in a box that takes you to traumatic places only to be shot and get electronics stitched on before becoming literal water vapour all because you smiled during a uni lecture.
Y'all have been arguing over THIS??? MAN'S JUST HAVING FUN LIKE WHAT???? What is there possibly to moan about here??? Seriously???? It's a playful tease that's not nasty or malicious!!! There's practically NOTHING HERE OMG I hate you all
Dalek: I'm only throwing this one in because whilst it's exempt due to our rules I have to give an honourable mention to the Doctor actually giving it a go.
Why is no-one talking about Dead Boy Detectives? It's so good! The cast are great, it's absolutely mad and oh my god episode 7??????? Love it Netflix where's my season 2? 😤
