I feel as if the week of "The Giggle" was just the weirdest time for the rest of the companion support group.

Ryan, Graham and Ace spent the entire week trying to stop the extended Khan family from micromanaging Ryan's marriage to Sonja.

Dan had to stop his parents hitting each other with pans.

Ian and Barbara had to stop their neighbours at the assisted living complex from throwing walking sticks at each other.

Tegan and Nyssa had to cancel their queer book club for that week because a fist-fight almost broke out amongst the other participants.

Jo Grant had to sternly tell her adult grandchildren off for swearing at each other.

Yaz, meanwhile, was on holiday in a small cottage in the peak district with her phone turned off. She had the most relaxed week of her life (and, tbh, she deserved it).

They really should bring back those 60s era doctor who plots where the doctor and his companions live through completely different adventures. Barbara trying to white savior her way through Aztec society while the doctor spends the whole serial rizzing up an old woman. The doctor and Vicki stealing a dead man's identity, weaselling into Neros court, dodging assassination attempts, and starting the burning of Rome while Ian and Barbara are sold into slavery for the 15th time that week. Things of this nature

In 1963, I park the TARDIS in a junkyard and I live there with my granddaughter Susan.

In an added scene in The Day of The Doctor's novelization, the Eleventh Doctor gets bored and calls Clara's work as if he were calling her parents for a playdate, with the school knowing who he is because of Ian and Barbara.

We need more weird historian rep in Doctor Who. The companions are too normal when faced with the prospect of time travel. I want a companion who makes a list of super specific historical destinations related to their dissertation. I want somebody whose first reaction to finding out that the Doctor is a time travelling alien is to create a Microsoft Word document and ask, “What caused the Late Bronze Age collapse?”

An Unearthly Child (1963) is an episode about a bunch of people making a bunch of very bizarre decisions and actions, and only two of them having the semi-decent excuse of not being human
