"A death mask is a likeness of a person's face after their death, usually made by taking a cast or impression from the corpse. Death masks may be mementos of the dead or be used for creation of portraits.

The main purpose of the death mask from the Middle Ages until the 19th century was to serve as a model for sculptors in creating statues and busts of the deceased person. Not until the 1800s did such masks become valued for themselves.

In other cultures a death mask may be a funeral mask, an image placed on the face of the deceased before burial rites, and normally buried with them. The best known of these are the masks used in ancient Egypt as part of the mummification process, such as the mask of Tutankhamun, and those from Mycenaean Greece such as the Mask of Agamemnon."

So this is RTD hitting people who aren’t in the know over the head with the fact that the doctor Isn’t Straight. But as myself and many of you know, the doctor has never been straight.

So I like to perceive this as the doctor being surprised that he now calls people hot out loud. What a new and exciting development for him.

Mavity needs to be a running gag now for Doctor Who. I don’t make the rules, it’s just the truth.

"And back in the spring of 1720, Sir Isaac Newton owned shares in the South Sea Company, the hottest stock in England. Sensing that the market was getting out of hand, the great physicist muttered that he 'could calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.' Newton dumped his South Sea shares, pocketing a 100% profit totaling £7,000. But just months later, swept up in the wild enthusiasm of the market, Newton jumped back in at a much higher price—and lost £20,000 (or more than $3 million in today’s money). For the rest of his life, he forbade anyone to speak the words 'South Sea' in his presence.

Sir Isaac Newton was one of the most intelligent people who ever lived, as most of us would define intelligence. But, in Graham’s terms, Newton was far from an intelligent investor. By letting the roar of the crowd override his own judgment, the world’s greatest scientist acted like a fool."

— Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor, 1949

Isaac Newton is famous for his laws of motion and theory of universal gravitation. In optics, he was the first to show that white light is made up of a mixture of the colours of the spectrum. In mathematics, he invented calculus in parallel with Leibniz.

Newton lived at a time before our modern concepts of sexual orientation, so we cannot for sure how he would identify. He never married and didn't have romantic relationships with women. He had very close relationships with male friends, which has led to speculation that Isaac was gay, although there is no evidence that these were sexual
