I love how Doctor Who has gone from BBC execs in the 60's not wanting the Doctor to have a granddaughter because they don't want to imply that he's had sex, to 15 just casually going "Yeah, I fucked Houdini, what about it?" THAT'S FUCKING CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

No but can you imagine being a Doctor Who fan in the 60's and watching that first regeneration with no knowledge of NuWho or all the other doctors.
You watch this eccentric yet well-mannered old man transform into another, and you're not quite sure what that means yet. But surely, he's just replacing the lead and besides that not a whole lot is going to change, right?
SIKE you have now been introduced to
Who after regenerating, goes non-verbal for a while and only replies with toots of his recorder/flute, which he's suddenly really interested in.
He also never explains his thoughts, silently wanders off, gets fixated on doing tongue twisters right after finding some daleks, becomes obsessed with hats and in episode 2, threatens someone with a gun while in drag and robs the duke's arsonal after a nap.
It's the funniest most Intense vibe shift I've ever seen, but clearly people loved it with how the show's still going strong to this day 😭😭😭

Tonights broadcast of "An Adventure in Space and Time" on BBC4, the dramatisation of the creation of Doctor Who and William Hartnell's time on the show, originally made for the 50th Anniversary, had one notable edit... the original has Hartnell (Brilliantly played by David Bradley) look up from filming his last scene at the TARDIS console to see Matt Smith's Doctor looking back at him.
Tonight, well....

I’d seen the image of William Russell with his daughter in the Dalek casing and Bill Hartnell a thousand times but it turns out there’s a second one that I don’t think I’ve seen before!

working on 7 onwards, but just to gauge interest; if these were acrylic charms, would anyone be interested in them?
