Joel Fry as Trev Simpkins & Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor in Joy to the World (Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024)
‘Doctor!’ someone shouted.
People were always shouting his name at him. There were various ways of doing it, and, really, one day, he must sit down and categorise them. There were, for instance, at least seven different ways of saying ‘Doctor?’ with a question mark, ranging from ‘I’m about to remind you of my existence by asking you an annoying question’ to ‘I appear to be dangling from a cliff and was wondering what you were planning on doing about it.’ ‘Doctor,’ with a comma, was also rarely good news – at one end of the spectrum it was a prelude to ‘You’ve tried to fix K-9 with a bit of the toaster again’ and at another it was ‘We’ve decided you should rule our planet / be our scientific adviser / be fed to the great swamp monster.’ Worst of all was ‘Doctor!’ with that deadly exclamation mark. Most of the time it was uttered by something ghastly in a shiny uniform – either Sontarans or Bus Conductors. Rarely, it was used by maniacs to wish him good riddance as they tumbled into their own doomsday devices.

How is it almost 100% of RTD companions end up working for either Torchwood or UNIT?
75% of Chibnall companions are either implied to end up working for UNIT or are currently cops who might end up working for UNIT.
Meanwhile 0% of Moffat companions end up working for either Torchwood or UNIT or are currently cops.
I mean, with the exception of Clara did seem to at the least consult with UNIT for a while, but the caveat there is she didn’t end up working for UNIT because she did in fact die before it got to that point
Conrad: I'm going to create a perfect world in which women aren't allowed to work
Kate: And I'm Kate Stewart 😌
Probably because his world wouldn’t last five seconds if Kate hadn’t had a job in the UNIT tower - she is a force to be reckoned with and definitely would be able to fight her way out of the wish world
i need the next ep to be a comedy of errors in which the doctor & omega both absolutely know omega is not the first of the time lords but neither wants the rani to find out for different reasons (omega doesn't want to lose the prestige; fifteen doesn't want the rani to cut them open)
