Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 35

When the TARDIS was infested with a Vortex parasite, she uploaded the Eighth Doctor and Izzy to her datascape, and a manifestation of her consciousness helped defeat the parasite.

Time Lords possess a psychic empathy field.

The Seventh Doctor and his companions at one point one teddy bears during a festival. Their names were Jasper and Stewart.

The Second Doctor was able to remotely operate his TARDIS from Koschei's TARDIS.

The Sixth Doctor informed the Celestial Intervention Agency that he ran into the Rani and the Master in 1830s Killingworth, but they didn't believe him due to his "notoriously unstable" nature.

The First Doctor once lost the TARDIS in a bet and used it as an opportunity to take Susan, Ian, and Barbara on a road trip while getting her back.

The Clocksmith was yet another violent renegade Time Lord, but they were also an artist. They had a device that froze people in place, causing them immense pain and could kill them, and was known to encase people in metal.

The Doctor and the Corsair got wasted together on three different occasions we are aware of. Twice, they woke up in jail and once, in the Bank of England vaults.

The Corsair indeed did not like to travel with humans, but they did occasionally take on a parrot or a cat as a companion.

Before leaving Gallifrey, the Doctor was a Scrutationary Archivist in the Bureau of Possible Events.

The Second Doctor was once forced into an arena to fight a dragon. After enthralling it with his recorder, he set the dragon on the audience.

The Time Lords locked Koschei and his "friend" (we all know who this is referring to 👀) in the Tower after a "silly prank gone wrong." His friend would recite him poetry, after which Koschei would feel more in control.

Eventually, they had an argument, after which Koschei's friend escaped and left him behind. At some point before leaving, Koschei's friend wrote the following on the wall:

"Here lies the master of the dirt, the muck, the grime. May that pompous fool sit here until he learns better manners."

Koschei lost track of the time he spent in that Tower after his friend left him. He thought it could have been centuries or millennia. He said that he would get his friend back one day after he got out of the Tower.

i love a lot of things about this but my favourite is the implication that daleks have swear words which they just don't use because i guess they're fine with killing people but saying cunt in kaled is too much

Do you reckon The Corsair ever did the Rogue Time Lord thing of getting a bunch of themselves together, just to sing a sea shanty?

Meanwhile, in the Companion Support Group...

Graham, a post-it note with 'Clara' stuck to his head: Was I in a romance with the Doc? Rest of the room: *murmurs of 'yes', 'no', 'kind of', 'not really', 'maybe', 'simpler question'* Graham: Alright, alright... erm... am I still alive? Rest of the room: ... Missy, mouth half-full with popcorn: Not any better, Jim. Graham: It's Graham. Missy: These primitive brains of pudding can't understand these questions, Jim. They just can't! You gotta dumb it down. Dumb it down to narrow it down. Graham: I'm trying my best! Right... am I LGBT or +? Rest of the room: *about to say yes* The Corsair, taking another handful of popcorn: How the fuck does that narrow it down?!

you’re not allowed to criticize lord byron unless you’ve read his complete works or at the very least all of don juan and childe harold’s pilgrimage back to back. the byromania was understandable. you would have been one of the thousands of girls sending him locks of pubic hair in the mail and stalking him too

Is it weird that I - a complete Doctor Who newbie, barely into Peter Capaldi’s time as 12 - going merely off of 2 appearances of the Shopkeeper from SJA and a single description of the Corsair, managed to come to the same conclusion as Russell T Davies: that they might be the same character?

I have literally no idea what that means for me but it’s funny

#I didn’t even know that the Corsair had a parrot #my time lord senses just tingled that intensely #aka it’s either the funniest coincidence of my life or I’m psychic #or it’s glaringly obvious and I’m oblivious #either way it’s hilarious #doctor who #the corsair #the sarah jane adventures #the shopkeeper #russell t davies

Carrie is in the centre, wearing the Sixth Doctor's blue cloak over a hoodie, leaning over to kiss the Corsair with a slight smile. On the left is the Corsair, wearing feathered pirate hat and a maroon coat patterned with stars, she has one hand under Carrie's chin and is holding her sword in the other. On the right is Lita, wearing her usual leather jacket and a purple sweater, leaning onto Carrie's shoulder and holding onto the blade of the sword. end ID]

I think I like the Corsair because this is a Rogue Time Lord who doesn’t have to come from some Academy past.

There’s such value in that.

Not just because you’re not lumbering them with a load of canon and extended-universe and fanon and all that, but because you can get different relationships out of it.

When did the Doctor meet them? Which Doctors? Which Corsairs? Do they have a friendship? A deep one or just a mate you get drunk with sometimes one? And if that - one you wake up in bed with along with a splitting headache? Or wake up abandoned but thoughtfully laid in the recovery position with a traffic cone jammed over your head?

And if you make it not some ancient childhood friendship, but a normal adult one, then maybe the Doctor knows the Corsair but the Master doesn’t.

You could have a story where the Master washes up on the Corsair’s space-pirate-decks, and he gets to be treated neutrally. If he wants. A friendship which we already know to be ultimately damned, and the Corsair doomed to be Frankensteined in their future, as the Master was in their past.

I just think we’ve got room to drive with that character, and we should.

And a space pirate ship always looks so cool.

Galactic Gazetteer: Ydar

Inhabitants: Ydarians

Visited by: the Corsair

First appearance: "The Lords of Destiny" (FASA Doctor Who Roleplay Game)

Fun fact: the Ydarians abandoned their planet and travelled the universe in their worldship, the Destiny of Ydar.

Another fun fact: incorporated into the backstory for Ryan Fogarty's 2020 novel "The Bloodletters," a non-DW work featuring many elements from the DW universe licensed from their creators.
