Can someone help me (*cough*Emily*cough*)
Which Doctor is this?
Looks like Layton (a villain) from the 6th Doctor story Attack Of The Cybermen.
That's not a Doctor! That's Lytton (the bad guy from Resurrection of the Daleks) being tortured in Attack of the Cybermen (whereupon he's abruptly transformed into a good guy).
I can't have been the only one intrigued by the "Last Day" entry showing Scott's message as Can someone help me cough!
Thank you everyone!
Yeah, I remember this one too.
It's a bit difficult to forget. What the HELL were they thinking? I'm not denying that the no-blood rule they have these days occasionally gets on my nerves (especially when the Doc's...y'know...GETTING HIS HAND CHOPPED OFF) but THIS is just...graphic.
For it's semi-annual Doctor Who pledge drive KBTC was giving away a tote bag celebrating the 25th year that they have been showing Doctor Who (hard to believe it's been 25 years since I first saw The Five Doctors & Robot). The tote bag had the phrase "12 Doctors 25 Years".
12 Doctors?
2 possibilities came to mind.
1. They were counting Peter Cushing.
Odd choice as they've never shown either of his Dr. Who movies, then again they've never shown stories featuring the 8th, 10th or 11th doctors.
2. They counted Richard Hurdnall.
However he was playing the first Doctor not a separate one.
3. They just plain miscounted.
Boring! ;-)
If they gave an explanation for the number 12, I missed it.
That's THREE possibilities. Miscounting appears to be contagious
Jon Pertwee-era episodes often had an undercurrent of antifeminism, containing Straw Feminist characters and having the Doctor make supposedly devastating sexist putdowns of them. -- TV Tropes
I can't imagine that even the worst male chauvinist in the universe genuinely believed that 'make me some tea' was a devastating sexist putdown.
It's a shame Britain was never involved in the Vietnam War - imagine Fat Colin and the Scottish Midget as grizzled Vietnam veterans when playing the Doctor...
It's...a little hard to imagine.
Eccy gave us the grizzled veteran, that's MORE than enough. You're not gonna get better than HIM, though of course John Hurt made the mistake of trying.

Clearly some definition of the word "shame" of which I was not previously aware.

100% agree, Kate....
How many Doctors wear ties? How many don't? Bow? Long? Long coat? Short coat? Overcoat? Cape? Long hair? Sideburns? Plaid pants?
The Doctor's too pacifist to deal with many of the real world's threats. Remember, "any more talk of executions and you'll make me your enemy"?
Well, no I don't...sounds very Doctorish but damned if I can tell which story it's from?
I wouldn't call the Doctor 'pacifist' but he's definitely horribly human-oriented. I bet he wouldn't blow up ISIS given the chance the way he blew up that Cyberfleet in Good Man Goes to War, or, of course, those POOR INNOCENT MACRA.

She, however...would.
I stand by my statement and don't care how insane it makes me look to contradict the universe's foremost authority on...everything. The Doctor's NEVER really understood her/himself, after all. Didn't even NOTICE s/he was some weirdo from another dimension (or whatever), for starters...
