hi hello obviously ben did amazing in the captains death scene but can we talk about the performance from peter sandys-clarke. literally everything about it was amazing but what i want to put emphasis on is “i know”. THE DELIVERY OF THAT ONE LINE SHATTERED ME INTO SEVENTEEN MILLION PIECES. HE HAS DONE ME BOTH AN ENORMOUS DISSERVICE AND AN ENORMOUS SERVICE BECAUSE THAT SCENE WILL NEVER LEAVE MY MIND. also,queer characters and hands. i always have to pay attention to the hands when it’s about queer ppl. in ofmd,stede and ed’s kiss scene. THE HANDS WERE ALL I COULD FOCUS ON. and also the good omens kiss scene!!! the hand on crowleys back!!! ive gotten terribly off-topic but the gist is; i am in agony because of how good the acting is in episode 5,larry rickard and ben willbond are psychopaths for writing that episode and queer people + hands = my praise

DOCTOR WHO | TALES OF THE TARDIS
Welcome to the world where you can find every Doctor, every companion, and terrifyingly, hundreds of monsters that have appeared in Doctor Who. From the 1st November, The Whoniverse will become the official name, and dedicated home, for all shows within the orbit of Doctor Who which will live on BBC iPlayer.
With over 800 episodes of Doctor Who content already in the back catalogue, The Whoniverse will launch with a brand new logo, and every piece of Doctor Who content will carry a brand new ident, instantly bringing all the Doctor Who worlds together in one place and it will continuously expand.
The first exclusive content to land in the Whoniverse will be TALES OF THE TARDIS, a brand new six-part series that reunites beloved classic Doctor Who duos, as they board a very special TARDIS on a nostalgic voyage through space and time.
Reprising their roles as the Doctor and companions to go on a timey-wimey spin down memory lane in these unmissable adventures are; Maureen O’Brien as Vicki and Peter Purves as Steven, Frazer Hines as Jamie and Wendy Padbury as Zoe, Katy Manning as Jo and Daniel Anthony as Clyde, Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor and Janet Fielding as Tegan, Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and Nicola Bryant as Peri, and Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace.
These Doctor Who legends step back into character to reflect on their adventures and in the process they discover something new, leaving viewers with a new insight into the story of each timeless pair.
Over six parts, each episode of TALES OF THE TARDIS features a different duo, with brand new scenes woven together with classic episodes to create a feature-length omnibus episode.
With new scenes written by Showrunner Russell T Davies, and previous Doctor Who writers Phil Ford and Pete McTighe, TALES OF THE TARDIS allows fans to rediscover the stories they love whilst inviting new viewers to explore the vast mythology of the Doctor.
Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Showrunner says:
“The word Whoniverse was invented by fans, so it’s time to give it official status. And TALES OF THE TARDIS is one of the greatest delights of my career - to see old Doctors and companions reunited, still fighting the good fight, is a perfect way to celebrate the Doctor’s 60th birthday!”

no but seriously Havers smiled at him and the Captain didn't even notice.... he would've blushed for sure

I've just seen a video about adverts and jingles that get stuck in your head, and there are so, so many that get stuck in my head, but one of the main ones is the old Stoneacre radio jingle (the "down at Stoneacre, we've got the deals for you" one that sounds like The Beach Boys), which I now can't find anywhere.

Yes, Cap fancies Havers. Like, really, really, really fancies him. He's got strong arms and he's good at cricket. But he also *loves* him. He's modest and gracious and has a sweet smile and he's kind. Like. Havers doesn't just make Cap weak at the knees because he fancies him. He does. Yes. But he *loves* him. Hopelessly, madly, undyingly Loves Him.

it really boils down to the fact that Cap was always so so so alone in life.
As a gay man in a violently homophobic environment but also just as a man earnestly too gentle for the armed forces and the expectations they bring along. Captain stood in that room full of people and yet he felt alone. He was dying and no one even tried to help him.
Except Havers. Except Havers who saw and recognised and respected him.
And in the end, Cap has to carry Havers' swagger stick for the rest of eternity, almost like a reminder that he was loved by someone after all. That he wasn't entirely alone.
