in film school they’ll tell you that actors stand close to each other in old movies because the aspect ratio is different and they have less room. however, this is not true. they stand close to each other because they’re all playing closeted gay men who want to kiss

happy pride month, here’s ace coloured steven!

the only actor who had previously played a companion that i would ever want to see playing the doctor is peter purves because it would be so funny, it would be so fucking funny, oh my god it would be hilarious

Thinking about The Daleks’ Master Plan and how Katarina and Sara were really the first companions of the Doctor who died, right there before his eyes, and he saw what killed them: the very things that define his lifestyle, because Katarina was lost to space and Sara was lost to time

Can’t wait for the Doctor and Jamie’s Dalek child Omega to show up in the finale lmao

Doctor Who fans.

If you had to pick your top three favourite Doctors, your top three favourite companions, and your top three favourite Masters, each in no particular order, who would they be?

I'm curious if there's any consistent patterns here.

for the first doctor, i recommend watching the two part serial “edge of destruction” (season one, serial two), as that’s a real turning point in his relationship with ian and barbara

“the romans” (season two, serial 4) is really good if you want just a fun serial for the first doctor

for a darker episode, “the massacre” (season three, serial 5) is very good for the doctors character at the end, since he isn’t in most of it, but the end is significant, and very good to show steven throughout

i already saw “daleks master plan” mentioned so i won’t say it again but it’s also good!

for the second doctor, “the evil of the daleks” (season four, serial nine) is good for showing a darker side of the second doctor

“tomb of the cybermen” (season five, serial one) is quite good for the doctor and victoria’s relationship

“enemy of the world” (season five, serial four), “web of fear” (season five, serial five), and “the invasion” (season six, serial three) are all just really solid stories for the second doctor and show all his companions

for the third doctor, “inferno” (season seven, serial four) is a good one to go with for showing the doctor trying to escape earth

i would also recommend watching either “doctor who and the silurians” (season seven, serial two) or “the ambassadors of death” (season seven, serial three) if you want to see more of liz shaw, as she’s only on four serials

hope any of this helps!

Classic Who watchers!!! I call upon thee!

I have a request. Can you guys tell me what are the best arcs or episodes of each Doctor? I don't have enough time in my lifetime to watch the entirety of Classic Who, but I can manage that much.

I will also watch their regeneration episodes (the one they regenerate and the first one after) aside from arc episode reccomendations. Please let me know when each regeneration arcs begin!

Write down each episode's name, number and season number so it's easy for me to find.

Thanks! I look forward to knowing more about my blorbo The Doctor.

As a bonus, tell me which one is your fave!
