#doctorwho #worldcup

Peter Davison episode. The Doctor is standing just outside the TARDIS with Flight Engineer Scobie and First Officer Bilton, two men wearing an airline pilot’s sort of uniform, with the dark suit, stripes on the collar and gold lapel pin, inside some grungy concrete room. Very brutalist looking. The Doctor looks a bit frazzled, not really paying attention to what they’re saying. Scobie says, “I’ve heard of a football team getting into a telephone kiosk, but this was ridiculous.” This is in reference to the World Cup game, which I’ll admit I’m not entirely aware of, but I am told something ridiculous has happened with England’s team.

Episode with Peter Capaldi, teenage heartthrob — although, tragically, the Doctor is not on screen. Instead, disappointingly, we are in a modern NASA mission command room. Two people are on screen, presumably scientists of some sort, looking forward. Very shallow depth of field shot, so only the woman is in focus, the background and the man both heavily blurred. Wish I could do that to men in real life. Anyways, captions read, “Fingers crossed, Alan.” “I got everything crossed.” Sounds like that’d hurt.

Jon Pertwee episode. The Doctor (Patrick Troughton’s Doctor, actually), Benton and the Brigadier are standing around in UNIT HQ, just outside the TARDIS, with its doors open. Benton has his hands on a gun, though he’s not pointing it at anything or anyone in particular, just resting his hands on it like a deadly fidget toy. There’s a giant hole in the wall as well. Yellow light is peering through the sunshades in the windows, as the entire building is inside an alternate universe, which you can’t see right now for budget reasons. The Doctor looks chipper, and asks, “What’s it like out there?” The Brig is furious, and yells, “There’s sand everywhere!” The Doctor clasps his hands together, and says, “Splendid! Who’s for a swim?” The other two look unimpressed.

David Tennant episode. Sally Sparrow and Kathy Nightingale are standing in an old decrepit house. Broken mirrors, aged and grimy wallpaper that’s a bit torn up, shattered windows. Kathy looks alarmed and confused, and says, “What are you doing?! It could be a burger!” Sally asks, “A burglar who rings the doorbell?” Well, they could be Canadian.

Patrick Troughton episode. The Doctor, Zoe and Jamie (his lover) are in a rocket ship; it’s really crowded and there are tons of switches and screens and panels of things behind them. They should be in zero gravity, although absolutely no attempt is being made at depicting that. They’re all sitting in chairs. The Doctor is speaking to someone over an intercom. Captions read, “But they’ll kill you!” “Oh, well, we’ll just have to take that risk,” the Doctor says, with a bit of a shrug. whatevs

Matt Smith episode. River Song is standing in Nazi Germany, in front of some big stone archway, surrounded by a bunch of (literal) literal Nazis pointing guns at her. Captions read, “Well, I was on my way to this gay gypsy Bar Mitzvah for the disabled, when I suddenly thought, ‘Gosh, the Third Reich’s a bit rubbish. I think I’ll kill the Führer.’ Who’s with me?” ✋

Patrick Troughton missing episode tele-snap. The Doctor is standing around with Ben, Polly and Jamie, his lover, with a few others in a city in the future, and you can tell, because there’s a big future TV screen on the wall and their clothes are all shiny and slick with big weird future collars. They’re all standing around looking pleasant, smiling, the Doctor with his hands folded and a goofy grin. Caption reads, “Well, this is gay!”

Matt Smith episode. Two men in military uniforms, one thin and one fat, stand in a hallway of some kind of space station. Caption reads, “We’re the thin-fat, gay, married Anglican Marines.” Normal Steven Moffat dialogue.

Patrick Troughton missing episode tele-snap. The Doctor is in the TARDIS with Ben, Polly and Jamie (his future lover). The Doctor is at the TARDIS controls, pressing buttons, looking up at something (probably the scanner) while the uppy-downy-thing goes up and down, covering the lower portion of the screen. Ben stands close to him, mouth in a rather odd expression. Caption reads, “I get a sort of queer feeling.” He can sense the tension between the Doctor and Jamie.

Christopher Eccleston episode. The Doctor is standing in the apartment Rose shares with Jackie. Beige walls (council estate, after all) various bits of decorative china dishes on shelves and hanging, with an abstract painting of a flower that looks like An Art from a hotel. He’s holding a magazine, staring at one of the middle pages, brows furrowed. Caption reads, “That won’t last. He’s gay and she’s an alien.”

Jon Pertwee episode. Five of the most 1970s old British men you can possibly imagine are standing and sitting in a circle in an old pub, with two taps just on screen. They’re all varying levels of gray haired, wearing suits with varying levels of tweed and beautiful disasters of plaid. One gentleman on the right has a squinty face as he says, “There have been a lot of queer goings-on the last few weeks.”

William Hartnell episode. Shot of a weird alien thing called a fungoid, a vaguely tree-shaped gross algae-like thing covered in suckers and things. The title card for the episode says “THE DEATH OF DOCTOR WHO.” This is in reference to the BBC announcing that the Christmas special is canceled, there is no plan in place for the future of the show, and RTD is out.

David Tennant episode. (Aren’t they all?) The Doctor and Rose are sitting at a table in a dingy spaceship in the future. You can’t really tell, because it’s a really close up shot on the Doctor’s face, Rose cackling off to the side, but there’s a metal wall with a bunch of Stuff on it. The Doctor is staring into the middle distance in dread. Caption reads, “I’m dying. That’s it, I am dying. It’s all over.” This is in reference to the BBC announcing that the Christmas special is canceled, there is no plan in place for the future of the show, and RTD is out.

William Hartnell episode. The Doctor, Ian Chatterton and Barbara Wright are standing in the TARDIS. The Doctor has a bandage around his head, and is standing very Hartnelly, his hands bracing his jacket, head turned up at the camera, staring it down. Ian is looking at him a bit confused, wearing a robe. Barbara is looking deeply concerned, staring offscreen. Caption reads, “Can it be possible then, that this is the end?” This is in reference to the BBC announcing that the Christmas special is canceled, there is no plan in place for the future of the show, and RTD is out.

Ncuti Gatwa episode. The Doctor is standing in an orchestra room. Maestro is wearing a lovely marching band-inspired uniform. Ruby is suspended in the air by a swarm of music, somehow. Maestro says in a mocking tone, “Playing lovesick songs for heartbroken lesbians,”

Patrick Troughton missing episode tele-snap. Polly is standing by a barn by some docks, looking off-camera to the Doctor. Next to her is another woman named Kirsty. Caption reads, “I liked you better in your dress, Doctor.”

David Tennant episode. (Aren’t they all?) Two boys are kicking around a football in a front garden of a townhouse, in front of a small goal. One of them is wearing an obscenely 2005 outfit of a longsleeve dark gray shirt with a yellow graphic tee on top, with blue/dark blue/lime green pants. Caption reads, “♪ Gay your life must be ♪”

Jon Pertwee episode. The Brigadier is standing in a concrete brick room at UNIT, alongside the Doctor, Jo Grant and Mike Yates, although only the Brig is onscreen. He’s looking a bit confused, eyebrows furrowed, which I can only assume is his natural resting facial expression. Caption reads, “Well, it’s the… the trans…”

Episode with Peter Capaldi, teenage heartthrob — although, tragically, he is not on screen. The Master, portrayed by John Simm, is talking to a Mondasian Cyberman in a picturesque green field with some trees. The leaves are a little thin, so it must be nearly fall. A scarecrow is in the background, although it’s in all white (and isn't really a scarecrow). The Master says, “I’m going to be a woman, fairly soon. Any tips?”

William Hartnell missing episode reconstruction. A policeman, who is mighty handsome for a pig, is standing in front of the TARDIS on a brick street. Caption reads, "Aye, you seem to know all the queer people."

Christopher Eccleston episode. The Doctor and Rose are sitting on a rooftop. The Doctor is holding his hand to his cheek, and although he's describing an event that happened in the past, he still looks as though he's holding back tears. He says, "It hurt!" Rose is laughing hard, and says, "You're so gay!"

Episode with Peter Capaldi, teenage heartthrob. The Doctor is wearing That orange spacesuit, helmet off as he’s indoors on a moon base in the future, and you can tell it’s the future because it’s a moon base. The Doctor’s speaking to Clara and a few others, mostly out of frame or out of focus. There’s a weird web thing pinned to the wall behind him. Caption reads, “The moon’s an egg.” Always has been.

Colin Baker episode. The Doctor and Peri are outside, running up a muddy, coaly hill. Well, the Doctor is running; he’s leaving Peri behind in high heel boots and several layers of dress that she’s in the process of picking up to begin going after him. Caption reads, “PERI: Ugh.” girl same

Jodie Whittaker episode. Two people, Lin and Mitch, are speaking in a dark underground area, which you can’t really make out because most of it is out of focus. That’s the Jodie Whittaker era summed for you. Not much interesting about this scene to riff on, honestly. Caption reads, “Eh, they found Richard III in a car park in Leicester.” Wonder what he was doing there.

Jon Pertwee episode. The Doctor is wearing his black outfit with the bright red cape, tossed dramatically over his shoulder. He’s speaking to two men, one of whom is wearing an excellent grey tweed coat with a bow tie. They’re in a big scientific control room, lots of people in lab coats doing Things and looking at consoles, blinking lights and panels and such in the background. Caption reads, “Well, I think that certain people ought to pay a lot more attention to the warnings of this computer.” Word.

Matt Smith episode. The Doctor is leaning against his TARDIS outside, grey sky (typical), holding up a newspaper of The Leadworth Chronicle. He’s looking at someone off screen, pointing at it, bemused, and says, “Seriously?” The headline story is LEADWORTH’S CROP CIRCLE. Cut to an aerial shot of a cornfield. The Doctor and the TARDIS are in the middle of the crop circle, which spells out “Doctor.” Cut to Amy and Rory facing him, standing with a beautiful Morris Mini. Rory says, “Well, you never answer your phone.”

Jon Pertwee episode. Orum and Kalik, two Inter Minorans, are gray skinned men who are bald on the top of their heads, with bushy eyebrows, in the future — and you can tell, because their outfits are all silvery. Kalik is walking away while Orum continues speaking nervously, their default state. Captions read, “One has no wish to be devoured by alien monstrosities, even in the cause of political progress.” Fair enough.

Jodie Whittaker episode. An injured Sontaran soldier with a bandage around his big ’ol potato head is casually strolling through Mary Seacole’s sanctuary, a small wooden building in the middle of the Crimean war. The Sontaran is making his way to the door, the Doctor and Mary following obviously, a man reaching for a gun in surprise. The whole room is quite realistically very dark and hard to see anything from the candlelight. Captions read, “You will be stamped beneath the boot of Sontar! At a future point to be determined.” That would be the Sontaran speaking, not the Doctor.

William Hartnell episode. We’re in a house in the future on Earth, but for some reason it looks like a run down hovel from the 1800s. Barbara and Jenny are joined by an old woman and her daughter (probably). The older woman says, “You can make your bed out of this cloth.” Sounds comfy.
