Off subject but I watched World War Z the day I found out Peter Capaldi was going to be the next Doctor Who and he was credited at the end of that film as "Who Doctor"
I always assumed that Eccleston's Doctor either never saw himself, or he was literally fresh off of a regeneration and the Clive footage came later, because Wibbly Wobbly. It can also now be explained with a bigeneration, 9 is out there somewhere, doing this for the first time. What doesnt make sense is in all of Clives research, he never saw other versions of the Doctor. I always assumed they were trying to say this Doctor was the first, but even then, you'd still get multiple Doctors. Just because he's in the "current" incarnation, doesnt mean future ones wont exist. When will we learn about the Doctor Moon incarnation? What's going on with the Dream Lord? How about the Valeyard?
Who said Clara wasn't already a fully qualified teacher when she was working as a nanny? A short term job looking after a couple of kids before taking up her first teaching post doesn't sound like a wild inconsistency to me.
Clara said herself she was going to travel according to the 101 places to see book she has, and stayed with the family who's mother died so she repaid the favour by looking after those annoying kids
I just presumed that she was working as a nanny to fund her teacher training and to have a place to stay too. As to the travel, loads of people say they want to travel somewhere, many don't 😊
If I'm not mistaken, she was only working a nanny because Angie & Artie's mom died unexpectedly while she was staying with them (they were family friends) and she felt obligated to their dad to help him out for a while.
I think the bigger plothole here is the unresolved cliffhanger from Name of the Doctor. But I think the less we think about the logic of that episode the better
@@christophersheets5452 Yeah, how they got out of the Doctor's timestream is certainly a bigger question than how Clara became a teacher. Hell, I became one simply for having a college degree and being a native English speaker (albeit for teaching English as a second language) so sometimes it takes not that long at all to get an in at a school especially if they have vacant positiopns that need to be filled quickly.
With 10 the master was just aging his cells with his regeneration suspended. 11 aged naturally and with the wear and tear of fighting in a war for 900 years it’s understandable his body begins to fail earlier in its potential life cycle
I always expected it has something to do with the rift giving off gallifreyan air, which maybe slows timelords aging process. or the timelords maybe even giving tiny bits of energy off to keep the rift open.
I always thought it was because it was supposed to be his last regeneration. Like the regeneration energy kept 10 from dying of old age, but since 11 explain he had no more regenerations left he was able to die from old age
1 was in the 400s when he died of old age. 6 was already 900, and he was 945 in his first episode as 7. Then you have 11 going off for 1000 and not aging a day, but then getting old as hell on trenzalore. At least the classic series was more consistent with aging. As for the “suppress long his ability to regenerate” that would only mean he couldn’t regenerate. He shouldn’t be looking that old. Also how would the Master have access to Galifrayan technology? Personally I go with the Master used the Lazarus technology to turn the Doctor into a harmless monster, since that’s basically what happened to Mark Gatiss in the Lazarus effect
Clara went to university, she was gonna take a year and travel the world but then her friend died so she stayed to look after the kids. She could have studied to become a teacher, The Doctor obviously helped her get the job at coal hill school since Ian is on the school board.
But the thing is she never stated once she was in college or anything that would’ve made her being a teacher in the anniversary special going forward make sense let alone being what seems like an established teacher like some time had passed since Trenzalore happened but never mentioned and it feels like it was done just to have the school from an unearthly child in the anniversary special when they could have just as well had like a brief scene of something like Ian retiring as the school’s principal or something since it doesn’t really play a major role in the anniversary special
@kevin10001 1. Of course they did it so they could show the school again it was the 50th anniversary... 2. Ian was the chairman of governors, not the Headmaster 3. Just because she is never shown to do something doesn't mean it didn't happen. 4. They did a comic in 2015/2016 that says that after jumping in to the doctors time stream she left the tardis and became a teacher and moved to coal Hill, 6 months later she regretted leaving the tardis
In regards to the magpie tech, the tardis "regenerates" for lack of a better word when the doctor keep destroying it. Or when it feels like doing so. It dose also have a couscousness. So it regards to brand deals no, but its really not to hard to believe it just thaught it be funny to have magpie tech. Or a different explanation.
@@Lightbringer115 but the comics aren’t show cannon since a lot of fans don’t read or listen to the expanded meadow stuff making it expanded universe cannon that has no barrings to the show it’s still a plot hole for the show
I don't get the problem with 9 seeing himself for the first time and "already" having been loads of places. No he hasn't. That will be his future ... The same would be asking 10 why he doesn't remember giving Martha his tie, even though we saw it happen already.
Yeah like Liz 1 being mad at 10 at some point, even though he doesn’t know why yet, he will eventually. We even found out when 10 returns during 11s era that he married her (and then obviously skips town like always)
That would make sense, if there were a lot of actual time for that. Since he regenerates literally in the same series. Yes ofc there are spots where there could be time skips, but going on so many adventures without his companion at some point within the series just seems unlikely
My thought was always that Clara as a teacher was a "variant" of herself after she entered the time stream, just like all her other versions. And none of them had any physical or mental issues (aside apparently some memory loss in Asylum of the Daleks and the Snowmen for some reason)
Honestly I think this one really needs no explaination, the last thing we see on NOTD is 11 and Clara walking away from the war doctor. This suggests they are leaving the time stream. Then unspecified period of time happens, Clara clearly needed time off so she found a job. Why is she qualified to teach? Why was she qualified to Nanny? Maybe she was a nanny in the summer and taught in the fall, maybe when she stepped out of the time stream the version of her was not the same version that went in.
My theory is that he travels just at the end of Rose. Rose rejects travelling, he goes about the universe, saving people and running a lot, and then comes back, remembering that he never mentioned it was a time machine.
@@TrakeniteAdventuress That's a variant of a similar theory about the fourth doctor explaining his apparent long history of travelling alone as the 4th Doctor (particularly his previous visit to the planet in The Face of Evil); he did it all when he pops off in the TARDIS and promptly returns at the end of "Robot".
The thing with 9 is that he went back in time to persuade Rose to join him, hence why the moment he came back and said it was a time machine she ran straight to him.
My theory for the Pting in prison is that the blue lights around the cell is the same energy that Yaz and Ronan used to temporarily hold back the Pting in the Tsuranga Conundrum.
@@tjet34 Yes, this!! That was the whole point. How does one actually trap a Silence, or the Doctor, or a Pting? We don't need to know the technicalities of how these incredible creatures are actually being held. What it does is it shows us that this prison really is inescapable. If it can hold the impossible-to-imprison Pting, then how does a mere Timelord stand a chance?
In regards to the Master’s Dalek Plan, don’t conveniently forget that the Master has consistently had overly convoluted schemes *to get the Doctor’s attention*. That’s it, they just like causing trouble, who cares if it makes sense. It’s the most consistent character trait for them.
That's true but that whole "ima become the doctor" thing makes literally no sense. The Russia and getting caught by unit stuff is typical master shenanigans but he doesn't become the doctor he just... I dunno something something regeneration energy and is now wearing her clothes and can use her tardis whilst she stays in a glass jar?
@@Cheesusful I feel like Jodie's episodes will become like the Star Wars sequels or the Eragon movie, where the majority of the fandom pretends it doesn't exist because of how bad it is.
3:14 I always thought that it was 9 but in the future. It’s a new face but all the photos that they had are future adventures he had. Adventures he had without rose and one’s that we dont see on screen.
Number 8 doesn't necessarily need to be a plot hole. After all, the Doctor does have a time machine. So he could still just have regenerated in that episode and at the same time there could still already be photos and records of him with this face from the past. Who says, that those version of him are in his past. So those photos and records could be of an older him who travelled to before he regenerated into the new face ;)
Or the fact that the doctors dont allways do the most human thing. For us should we get hurt we look at the wound, if we regenerated we probably would immediately look at our new face. I feel its entirely possible that he just didnt think to check himself out before going on adventures and just kinda got carried away for how ever long. And again timie whimie. He could have had all those photos taken in less then an hour depending on how long he stayed at each one. Or yeah future 9.
I read a theory somewhere that in the moments for rose at the end of Rose the doctor actually traveled on their own for a while, so that could explain the photographs as well
Do you want a thing in Doctor Who to make sense? The series that explained that "from a non-linear non-subjective point of view it is more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff" (one of the best ways to explain that Doctor Who doesn't care in the least for consistent explanations). For any other sci-fi series I would agree and demand consistency, but Doctor Who never takes itself so seriously that we need that and it show it all the time: "He is and alien? But he has an accent from the north. Well they have a north on his planet too". Accept Doctor Who for it is: a very cool, funny fantasy TV series that we cherish since our childhood, that stretch consistency as most as it can when it is needed for the plot...or...this is what I want you to think...
The section A Time Machine That Needs Time makes perfect sense. The TARDIS only appears to people outside the TARDIS to take a few second to get from one place to another. But the TARDIS travels through the time vortex. The TARDIS could dematerialise outside Donna's house at 12pm and rematerialise next to it at 11am the same day making it look like the TARDIS doubled to Wilf. The TARDIS travelled in the time vortex long enough for River to be concieved. It has ALWAYS taken the TARDIS time to get to a place but when you can travel through time it looks to people experiencing time linearly that it takes way less time than it actually does. They're not just travelling through space, they're travelling though time.
For 9 it was stated i think in a book that he was so ashamed of what he done in the war that he couldn't look at his face and he had some adventures before finally deciding to look at the mirror
9 could have done those things AFTER meeting Rose, time travel and all. Clara was already a teacher, or qualified to be, being a nanny as a favor. Preparing to travel later. No idea how she got back, doesn't seem important though. The later Masters (and to a lesser extent Missy) love messing with the Doctor using grand plans and theatrics, Joker-style. They don't have to make perfect sense. Same with his aging device, it's all for show. Either the Doctor (or a companion) added parts, or the TARDIS can copy exiting tech, especially after changing the "wallpaper". Maybe they're Davros' cups, and we don't really know what's in them.
I could have easily been before he met Rose. How often do you see a mirror during an adventure in the past? Yeah, an insane evil villian doing insane things isn't a plot hole. Magpie was mostly likely branded onto to things due to the the TARDIS's psychic link with The Doctor.
There's really no problem with nanny/teacher Clara. Teachers can take different jobs between placements, so she could have been working as a nanny until she landed a suitable teaching job.
She was also only working as a nanny because the kids' mum died while she was staying with them. Having a trained teacher as a nanny makes perfect sense to me.
My high school chemistry teacher also coached golf and had a floor tiling business in the summer. Many people are capable of doing many things. Imagine that.
The problem is that there is no mention of her being in college/university or at least having a teaching degree the whole Clara is a teacher now out of the blue feels more like just a way to get the school from the pilot an unearthly child into a anniversary special and it’s a Clara plot hole I bring up in Clara discussions can it lends credibility to the fact they didn’t know what to do with her and just made her fit the episodes as they came up
@@kevin10001 I don't think we need to be told that character X has a degree in Y. And, as has been said, it's not remotely a stretch to believe that a teacher (of children) might once have been a nanny (of children).
#8 is very simple if you are familiar with "Blink." Prssumably, at some point during the 9th's adventures that we see, he has some we don't see. Time machine. Also, perhaps a future incarnation revisits that face.
Ok so I have a theory about number 8. At the end of Rose, we see the Doctor leave Rose behind only to come right back and say "Did I mention it travels in time too?" From our point of view this happens instantaneously, but we don't know how long the Doctor was gone for. So the images that Clive references could've take place then. This is backed up in Day of the Doctor when the War Doctor says he is 800 years old. At the end of Day of the Doctor he regenerates into the 9th and sees his face for the first time in Rose's mirror. In Aliens of London, the 9th Doctor says he is 903. so 103 years passes for him before he decided to come back and try to convince Rose one more time.
It's possible that Rose didn't want to come so the Doctor explicitly was in the place to get those photos knowing eventually Clive would have them for Rose to see. Essentially the Doctor created a small scale paradox. I do find that teh Doctor can sometimes be a bit manipulative and I think this was one of those times subconciously changing Rose's mind after she initially said No to coming.
#5 maybe being the last incarnation of the 12 original regenerations, the regeneration mechanism gives timelords really long lifespan as it will be their last one.
6:51 I took it to mean that FORCED time has a completely different affect on Time Lords than NORMAL time without the protection of the TARDIS... made sense in my head.. ;)
I don´t know how to explain it in a science-y way, but in my head the physical age of the body, and the way the doctor naturally ages are different. When the Master force-ages him, it basically shows what his body would look like at +100 years, without any timelord stuff. But when he ages "naturally", I´d say he ages at 1/10th of the regular time. So his *body* would still be around that +100 years or so, but it´d take him 1000 years to get there. (This idea is mostly taken from DnD, where Druids physically age only 1 year for every 10 years they lived.)
Does the tardis slow the aging of the occupants? And now being the timeless child, realizes that it's only the galifreyan natives that were given regeneration are restricted to 13 incarnations or risk madness as they are not truly his people. Cough cough good blunt
9th Doctor: Who said only a second passed from the Doctor's perspective between telling Rose that the TARDIS could travel through all of space, and returning to tell her that it also can travel through time? I like to think that the Doctor had several adventures in that span of time, and returned to give Rose a second chance. This would also explain returning from the next adventure a year late, as the Doctor probably forgot to account for that year of journeys spent without Rose when calculating the date and time on which to return her.
For #5 I’m pretty sure The Master has a line “what if I suspend your capacity to regenerate” before transforming The Doctor for the second time. As I understand it thats what a Time Lord would look like if they couldn’t regenerate when they hit old age.
Of course! The Doctor can pull practically anything out of their pockets so that makes sense. Good logic on how he got his tea warmed up, only he would show up the Daleks by having their weapons warm up his drink! Just his way of sticking his thumb in their eyestalks to show he's always 10 steps ahead of them! 😂👍
My thoughts about the Magpie items in the Tardis is that Eleven himself added them or the Tardis added them For Eleven because he'd like them so much, as they really Are very him. After all he has a corded phone and an answer phone (Six in Big Finish also), a typewriter.... Just so perfectly Eleven 😊
I was baffled when she said it makes no sense, at the end of the day, the doctor is known to hook things up to the TARDIS, it's still a machine of sorts, mostly. With wires and gizmos. But yeah I do agree with you
The Magpie Electronics stuff might be the Doctor's additions to the TARDIS. Yes, TARDISy are grown, but 12th refurbished 11th's Desktop Theme (also known as Toyota) with bookcases, a black chalkboard and other stuff. Even changed lighting. So why not adding some stuff here and there? Plus the TARDIS is telepathically linked to the Doctor, she could use brands, because the Doctor came into contact with them. The Ghost Monument (yep, I'm gonna keep calling 13th Doctor's TARDIS by that name) even grew freaking Stenza crystals for her, because the Doctor made her Swiss Army Sonic with Sheffield steel and confiscated Stenza technology. Because they share a telepathic link and the Doctor loves her new sonic, the Ghost Monument adapted to it by creating a Crystaline theme from the same material, used in its creation. Simple as that.
Another cool thing is that the Magpie Electronics sticker in Smith's TARDIS proves the TARDIS isn't an AI artbot. Why? Well, whenever the TARDIS lands it scans around for several miles to find something to turn into before it inevitably "turns into" a police call box. That means it "sees" everything, including things it couldn't visibly see . . . but it scans down to a molecular level. So when it changed is "desktop" for Smith Doctor it went for an eclectic design, and thought, "What does my Doctor like? Oh, yes, London. We're always going to London." So it made a console room built out of artifacts from all over London's space and time, including fancy shop displays, electronics, pinball machines, and so on. Have you ever looked at a collection of AI-generated art for imaginary sci-fi movies? All the signs are gibberish because the AI art program doesn't know that they mean anything. Well, the TARDIS does understand signs -- not only does it translate languages, it actually has a sign! -- so it bothered to replicate the Magpie Electronics branding on all the items it copied from that source. The TARDIS: it understands us . . . and gives credit to the original creator when it makes fair use.
@@topcat1255 Are you implying that the Doctor stole the TARDIS by removing and inverting the hazard warning light switch? TARDIS SRi -- easy to steal, but it still looks good in a police box wrap!
@@SingularityOrbit I'm merely wondering why, with all of time and space to meander around, he (or she) never hung a pair of fuzzy dice from somewhere on the console.
I assumed that there is a room somewhere full of gadgets that this version of the TARDIS decided to use in it's console design. In the same way the TARDIS moved the library into the console room for 12. (And presumably moved the swimming pool somewhere else)
My theory for the inconsistent aging is that every regeneration biologically rewrites the process because its literally said in universe that it rewrites everything 🧬🫀🫀 -Adam
Yeah I always assumed that when the Master aged the doctor he aged him 100 years to what his bodys natural way of aging would be, but when 11 was aging it was slower because the doctor is basically a god and can kind of do whatever?
It was my understanding that in that brief period of time when 9 left Rose behind before returning to say "It also travels in time" is when he went to be in those pictures, as a sort of proof to Rose, because he knew that she would see those images. It's a time travel show.
As Rose obviously isn't in any of the pictures that Clive shows her (I guess she could've been there, wibbly wobbly timey wimey) I think 9 went to all those events in between the time where he first asks Rose to travel with him and the time where the TARDIS rematerializes a minute later and the doctor says "Did I mention it also travels in time?". I think Big Finish might've made this canon in some way, but i'm not completely sure - it remains my headcanon though.
I really don't get why people are so weird about 12s cup of tea. I mean it's just a joke and if you want an in universe explanation we see that 12 can keep a full glass of water in his pockets without it spilling in that superman episode so he probably did the same with the tea.
THe tea bit makes perfect sense, his pockets are bigger on the inside, he could have pulled out the cup and filled it from a thermos whilst they were blasting him.
Aging inconsistency: Its entirely possible that due to the unnatural aging via the Laser Screwdriver there were most likely side affects (aka the Golem look) while with 11 natutraly aged and that's why he looks younger. Its my headcannon that the Laser Screwdriver's unnatural process (as well as it was the same device/technology created by Laszurus, but smaller and we know how well Laszurus turned out) it turned the Doctor into that Golem look.
#9 - the Matrix records a lot of things (see the evidence presented in "Trial of a Time Lord") and I guess advanced races would be able to hack it. As the Master showed the Keeper of the Matrix, it isn't all that secure
10 aging vs 11 aging doesn't feel like a mistake or anything. With 10, what the Master was doing to him was basically: Here's what it would be like if you physically aged to 900 but you can't die and can't regenerate. Just stuck feeling the weight of all those years but unable to die. It was an unnatural thing that the Master inflicted upon the Doctor, while 11 aging was natural.
Clara wasn't exactly a nanny, though. She stopped by a friend's house for a visit before she set off on travels and the friend died, so she stayed on to help take care of the friend's kids. It's entirely believable that she was taking a year off for travel after graduating before taking a full-time teaching position when her friend died, getting her stuck in the "nanny " position for a while.
Davos on a few occasions explains the daleks have built in fail safes to stop them from being able to harm him, and I always remembered that being stated in the episode when the doctor steals the chair.
For #4, the TARDIS crash-landed in the Ponds’ shed, & she rebuilt herself by cannibalizing several of the items in that shed, such as the Magpie Tech telephone.
With number 9, an explanation for the footage can be found in the 1965 serial, the chase. At the beginning, it show the doctor repairing a time-space visualiser (given to him in the previous episode, the space museum)which can show the viewer any moment in time and space. It works by converting light energy into electrical impulses, allowing the viewer to watch anything. Perhaps the cybermen or the atraxi used the same system.
Great vid Ellie! Never leave. As for 11 not looking Gollum like after a hundred plus years, The Doctor lies and The Master probably does too. Maybe The Master wasn't truthful when he said The Doctor was aged 100 years. 10 could have been much older. Now my memory may not be great since I haven't watched the eps in a long time,but what happened to the kids Clara was caring for after" Nightmare in Silver"? I don't remember any mention of them after that. The Master's plan in the "Power of the Doctor" not making sense could be down to his Joker level insanity. Magpie technology in 11s Tardis may not function like the equipment it appears to be. It's probably Tardis technology in the guise of old tech.
What makes less sense than Clara becoming a teacher is fans not remembering that we know she is a university graduate and it is perfectly reasonable that this degree was English, or even a PGCE. She is 26 when she meets the Doctor after all, and approximately 27 when we meet the two again in Day of the Doctor.
The tally marks get even funnier when you realise they were probably drawn sucessively. Meaning it could have just been the same single Silence forgotten and re-spotted four hundred times.
Have they really, explicitly said that the TARDIS travels 'instantly' from place to place? They might have played fast and loose a bit with how long travel takes when they're chatting inside, but I think they've always done that even in the older series. Besides, these days the opening credits usually show the TARDIS travelling through a wormhole/timestream, which has to take some time to do in itself, even if it's a shortcut between moments and places.
Idk what happened in that episode, but if both locations were on earth the doctor might not have even gone into the time stream and just flew there instead, also if they did go through the timestream just because it took 4 minutes to get there from their perspective doesn't mean it wasn't instant from an outside perspective, but I would have to watch the episode to know more context
3:57 - That callout of the heart to heart was brilliant lol. I had that exact thought when watching the episode, especially since I knew it would be Ryan's last.
How could the ninth Doctor have been in all of those places if he's just seeing his ears for the first time? Have you forgotten that he's a time traveler? He went to all of those places and times after the first episode.
Actually, it is suggested that, between his encounters with Rose, the Doctor was spending weeks on other adventures, not to mention between the failed and sucessful attempts to recruit Rose.
Thanks to this channel I imagined what it would be like if Amy Pond had simply written "LOTS! RUN!!" on her face instead of all the tally marks and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing
3:23 for this one it’s probably because he can be seen in multiple crowds in important moments in history. This means there likely wasn’t a chance to look at his own face as when would he get a chance to look in a mirror?
During Ten's era, the Doctor explains that the presence of the Tardis translates any alien language into English and vice versa (and English into Punjabi for Graham, Yaz and Ryan). That's why the written signs in ancient Pompeii appear to be in English for Donna, and everyone gradually gets to understand the invaders in The Christmas Invasion. But in that case, how did everyone understand "Tim Shaw" in the Thirteenth Doctor's first story, when her Tardis was missing? Did he speak fluent English?
The aging one makes sense with one key word with the master and 10. 'Forced aging'. The master aged the doctors body, not made him older himself. It does seem apparent that time lords can control their aging
Number 8 is easy to explain. While in the past in relation to the universe, it is an older Doctor that went there, so in his future. Like how the first time the Doctor met River Song was the last time she saw him.
For number 8 maybe after the time war the Dr believed that he didn't deserve to know what he looked like IDK or the pictures rose is shown are from the 9th drs future no past,with them showcasing off screen adventures and rose just isn't there for whatever reason And for number five in my head canon time lords only age at certain points in their first and last incarnations or if their holding of a regeneration for a long time like the war Dr did
i have to be honest. The idiots lantern is not as bad as people believe it is. It just happens to be sandwhiched in between a pair of two parters, (AGe of Steel/Rise of the Cybermen and The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit) and it gets overlooked as a result. Even Blink would have been overlooked if sandwhiched in between those episodes.
Blink was sandwiched in between the arguably best story in the modern era and the best finale, and nobody overlooks it. The Idiot's Lantern is just bad
@@dogswifty7800 beg to differ. Blink Just bad. In fact, it is so bad it would have to improve to be BAD. It is perhaps the most overrated episode in the history of the Show. The only episode that comes close to being THAT overrated is Listen; which is (to paraphrase the Everly Brothers) Not so hot. Doesn't have much of a plot.
@@josephcooter5763 so from what I could gather you don't like Blink because it's "bad" the only reason you can think of to justify your argument. And The Idiot's Lantern is great but overlooked because of the two parters (one wasn't as spectacular as the other, or what Blink is sandwiched between) I dont like The Idiot's Lantern because the side characters are incredibly annoying (Magpie especially) the villain doesn't offer nothing but a plot device to remove Rose from the story for no other reason than strangely trying to incorporate The Doctor's darker side. Like when he snapped at Mr Connolly, very out of character for The Doctor.
@@dogswifty7800 I never said Idiot's lantern was a great episode. I just said that it's repuation suffers suffers becuase of it's place on the schedule. Blink is overrated becuase it features the debut of a really scary monster. Outside of that the characters actions are just dumb. They're like the teens from that Gieco Commercial hiding from the killer in a Barn with the Door WIDE OPeN. They're just not the brightest tools in the shed. That said I do have a soft spot for idiots lantern becuase the side plot involving the Abusive Dad kind of hits close to home and the way the wife finally kicked him out was kind of the way I wished my own mom would have delt with my Dad at times. My Dad had an explosive tempor and was prone to paranoia; especially when it came to his family. That's not really a good combination and I was incapable of dealing with it. Idiots Lantern is sort of therapuetic for me in that regard.
Clara being in the show in Season 7 very much is a push, though. This is because Jenna Coleman was not born until 1986, making it impossible for her to have been in the show in 1970, a whole 16 years earlier.
3:15 Ive been thinking about this since I was 11, so 2005, he leaves Rose near her flat estate at the end of the episode and buzzes off for what we feel to be a few seconds, then ports back and said: "oh did I mention, it also moves in time?" In that intervening "seconds" he could have done all those things, gone to Sumatra, stoped those folks from going on the Titanic, seen the death of JFK, then bounced back.
The daleks just randomly grabbing 11, Amy and Rory at the start of Asylum of the Daleks. If they can capture the Doctor any time they like the Doctor should be dead. Clara meeting a very young 1st Doctor in Listen. If the time-war is time-locked nobody should be able to visit Gallifrey pre or during the time war and potentially alter events. The only reason 10 and 11 get through was because of the Moment super weapon,
I don’t usually comment on this kind of thing but I really enjoy your narration (for lack of a better word) Ellie :) love the sass, the subtle comedic delivery, even the sharpness of your voice :) (I typically struggle to stay engaged) great stuff 👍
4:23 That's because Newman (I mean Chibnall ) is total and complete TOOL who single-handedly damn near ENDED Dr Who... THANK GOD Russell T Davies is back to save the day!!!
#8 Is fairly easily explained: The guy who looked up and found the stock footage of 9 was looking at things that 9 hadn't done yet but would do soon. This doesn't explain why he has no footage of Rose or other compantions in these shots, but perhaps these are just times when the compantions where elsewhere.
The Doctor changes with every regeneration, so the Master forcing the Doctor regenerating into him was meant as the Doctor's regeneration, thus from Jodie into Sacha. So yes, including a body and face change. When he then did all that bad stuff and announced himself as the Doctor (being in the Doctor's force-regenerated body), he was still kinda correct, people could think, that the Doctor regenerated and became evil. But only those, who knew about the Doctor's regeneration ability and weren't present at the force-regeneration event. That was kinda the point, wasn't it?
@@Croftice1 Or he could have done it differently where the Master doesn't take over the Doctor's body, but forces the Doctor to regenerate into an exact clone of him, either just a new form physically but with the Master's mindset, or a clone that is exactly like Dhawan's Master both physically and mentally.
10. P'Ting was thought to be impossible to imprison when The Doctor first encountered it. As of the second appearance, either developed a specific technology to house it, or someone else in the universe was revealed to have anti-P'Ting safeguards for the prison to implement. It's enough of a threat for many civilisations to collaborate on. 9. Mostly this is going to be a Rule of Cool where yeah they just reuse old footage and don't explain it. They *could* explain it either by suggesting The Doctor/their companions had their memories extracted/minds scanned at some point in order to establish a database, or you could also say some kind of entity (like Marvel's The Watcher) or technology (like the Teselecta) are spectating key moments in The Doctor's timeline for any number of reasons, with their observations being highly valued by The Doctor's enemies (maybe even shared around to maintain an up to date database on The Doctor's appearances/capabilities/etc). 8. Easy. Nine goes off at some point after Rose to photobomb historical pictures/old timey family photos. He could even be doing what Tennant later did with Martha and the tie, purposefully showing himself up in pictures he knows Rose would see in her investigation in order to bootstrap their meeting, *and* lay the groundwork for convincing her to join him by leaving, going back in time to set this all up, then returning to remind her "did I mention it can also travel in time?". 7. This seems like way more of a behind the scenes excuse for The Doctor to *have* to talk to Ryan, yeah. You could explain it away as either The Doctor purposefully causing a delay, the TARDIS instinctively extending the travel time for an important conversation to take place, or the exact route they're taking through the time vortex being more hazardous/"wibbly wobbly" for that exact journey. 6. Clara very much could be a teacher even prior to becoming a nanny. Feels bad for the family losing the mother figure, helps look after the kids in after school club/etc as the dad is a wreck for a while, bonds with them enough to accept a caregiver role in the household, pausing her teaching role in the meantime. She helps the husband and kids improve their lives to the point where she's not needed, and (after having a traumatic experience in The Doctor's time streaming) decides to go back to being a teacher. 5. Didn't The Master say he was going to make him show all those years of aging? Time Lords have a slower aging cycle anyway (The Impossible Astronaut has both versions of Eleven looking the same despite 200 years difference), I always took it as The Master fiddling with The Doctor's genetics to make him appear decades if not centuries older *by Gallifreyan standards*, ignoring the Time Lord life expectancy (which is hard to pin down, but if we said it was about 1000 years given the duration between Ten's regeneration and Eleven's) in order to reflect how a Time Lord would look going from a physical form in their 30s to a physical form going on 1000. This was also with twisted Lazarus tech, not natural aging next to the Crack in Reality, things are going to be different. 4. TARDIS's are grown, sure. But they also don't chuck out and destroy all The Doctor's possessions. While it's possible The TARDIS could grow new devices like screens and phones (the Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS episode shows this), it's just as easy for The Doctor to acquire devices on his travels and tinker with them to implement them in the TARDIS. Magpie Electronics are clearly high quality by their brand longevity, and The Doctor could have a sentimental attachment for the brand reminding him of his adventure with Rose in the Idiot's Lantern. 3. I don't really like his plan either. I don't like most of the stories of the Chibbers era. But it doesn't really work if he just dresses like The Doctor. All it takes is one advanced probe or mind scan to cast credible doubt on this being the universal hero The Doctor, and suddenly the story changes from "The Doctor is a psychopath genociding worlds" to "There's some bastard running around cosplaying as The Doctor trying to besmirch their name". It still doesn't fully hold up, anyone checking for something beyond a genetic match would be able to tell the behaviour and mind in that body are of The Master (or at least not of The Doctor), but remember, The Master is still quite insane. It's a miracle he got as far as he did. 2. Yeah kinda ridiculous. It makes sense if they're trying to be quiet when they come across a swarm of Silents (as Amy does a couple times) and if there's a reflective surface to see your face, then I guess it's a more alarming reminder to have it on your face which *isn't* going to accidentally get rubbed off or be hidden (unlike if you start stripping off to doodle up your biceps and legs, not like we see Amy and Rory running around in vests and underpants to maximise tally space). 1. Time Lord pockets, storing a tea cup and saucer, a thermos of tea, and plausibly some Jammy Dodgers.
"New man or Not?" He can travel through time. The Paradox of him seeing himself for the first time but others having evidence of him throughout time is no mistake. Its literally how he works lol
9:45 I always thought that one mark means seeing the Silence once. Not counting them, just a 'you saw them, then forgot'. Which, I now realise, also makes zwro sense since they wouldn't be able to remember where all the tally marks are, to draw them next to each other or even know that there are four so the next one crosses them all.
10. If you can imprison a Weeping Angel (creatures that can move if you're not looking at them), then a Pting might just be a bit easier. 9. How do you know the Atraxi wasn't just reading his mind? Also, the Cybermen (and maybe also the Daleks) have obsessively video recorded their times with The Doctor. Maybe those are just some more moments they were able to get. 8. You have talked about the audio series featuring The Ninth Doctor. Did you not know that they were set before the events of Rose? (He also smashed every mirror in the TARDIS because he didn't want to see his face, being ashamed of what he thought he'd done during The Time War.) Also, what did you think happened when The Doctor initially said goodbye to Rose after she turned down travelling with him and then came back telling her the TARDIS travels in time? That it was just a few seconds for him as well as her? And there's a thought that Rose was with The Doctor, just not seen. 6. Clara said she was looking after Archie and Angie because she was doing a favour as their mum died and was a friend of Clara's. (And may have even been the woman with her at the end of The Snowmen.) How do you know she didn't already have anything? Also, Ian and Barbara (The Doctor's first ever human companions) were teachers at Coal Hill (with Ian having even become the head of the governors and told the headteacher back then Mr. Armitage about The Doctor). The Doctor could've obviously pulled a few strings. 4. You know The Doctor has manually changed the inside of the TARDIS, right? 3. I can't believe I'm defending Jodie Whittaker's time, but you know that The Master likes over the top schemes and messing with The Doctor and their friends, right? 1. As The Doctor said, "I'm The Doctor. Just accept it."
2:30 The pilot actually is his first adventure as 9, what Clide showed Rose happened at the end of the episode, when he left only to come back and say "did I mention it travels through time?" Also, at 9:05, he didn't just impersonate the Doctor, that was his idea of fun, but the main goal was to hijack the Doctor's **body**, now knowing she was the timeless child, in order to steal her regenerations. Otherwise, he could have just regenerated in his own body and take 13's appearance if his main goal was simply to give the Doctor a bad reputation
3:06 Wibbly-wibbly, timey-wimey. Those pictures were from adventures "9" hadn't been on yet until AFTER he met Rose. Remember when Rose chose to continue travelling with him? He left. Then, he came back, and mentioned to her it could travel through time. THEN she left with him, presumably AFTER he had been in those adventures while he was gone.
3:09 Clive has historical photos of the doctor, but the Doctor could have visited those places in our future, after he met Rose, before she agreed to travel, or even when she was changing her mind about joining him
Number 8 isn’t a problem. He leaves at the end of the first episode and (to us) Instantly comes back. But from The Doctor’s perspective he could have bounced around history for 100s of years then come right back to the moment he left.
4:23 thats fair but this happened the episode Tenant took over aswell. He said something to rose about the tardis going faster, or wanting more speed or something like that
the "New Man Or Not" makes a ton of sense... if you remember the doctor is a time traveler and doesn't always have adventures with his companions. he sometimes solos things. perhaps those where events after meeting rose and he said "I need a me day"
Hi Ellie! You said it doesn’t make sense that Clive has a drawing of the ninth Doctor when in that episode we see that the Doctor seems to have only just transformed into the ninth. Are we forgetting that the Doctor is a time traveller? It just means that the drawing was made sometime in the Doctor’s future but sometime in Clive’s linear past.
I’ve always hated how there always seems to be a reboot of the master, tardis and ‘everything previous is forgotten” when a new dr turns up. I was jumping for joy when Moffat actually kept the same master and river song which made sense!
6:50 aging quicker / not living as long could be a side affect of forced aging and the gollum stage could be another thing attributed to forced aging where it makes him what he'd be like if his body *could* age that much.
For number 4 I can think of the reason for magpie technology, since doctor and the tardis have a symbiotic link, it is possible that thought of magpie comes from his own mind and tardis built it.
My favourite thing about Ellie Littlechild's videos is the fact that River Song never said "Goodbye sweeties" so isn't really using her own words. She always said "Hello."
Even MORE things that don't make sense! ruclips.net/video/MW-UEOaKbZk/видео.html
Off subject but I watched World War Z the day I found out Peter Capaldi was going to be the next Doctor Who and he was credited at the end of that film as "Who Doctor"
I always assumed that Eccleston's Doctor either never saw himself, or he was literally fresh off of a regeneration and the Clive footage came later, because Wibbly Wobbly.
It can also now be explained with a bigeneration, 9 is out there somewhere, doing this for the first time.
What doesnt make sense is in all of Clives research, he never saw other versions of the Doctor. I always assumed they were trying to say this Doctor was the first, but even then, you'd still get multiple Doctors. Just because he's in the "current" incarnation, doesnt mean future ones wont exist.
When will we learn about the Doctor Moon incarnation?
What's going on with the Dream Lord?
How about the Valeyard?
Who said Clara wasn't already a fully qualified teacher when she was working as a nanny? A short term job looking after a couple of kids before taking up her first teaching post doesn't sound like a wild inconsistency to me.
Clara said herself she was going to travel according to the 101 places to see book she has, and stayed with the family who's mother died so she repaid the favour by looking after those annoying kids
I just presumed that she was working as a nanny to fund her teacher training and to have a place to stay too. As to the travel, loads of people say they want to travel somewhere, many don't 😊
If I'm not mistaken, she was only working a nanny because Angie & Artie's mom died unexpectedly while she was staying with them (they were family friends) and she felt obligated to their dad to help him out for a while.
I think the bigger plothole here is the unresolved cliffhanger from Name of the Doctor. But I think the less we think about the logic of that episode the better
@@christophersheets5452 Yeah, how they got out of the Doctor's timestream is certainly a bigger question than how Clara became a teacher. Hell, I became one simply for having a college degree and being a native English speaker (albeit for teaching English as a second language) so sometimes it takes not that long at all to get an in at a school especially if they have vacant positiopns that need to be filled quickly.
With 10 the master was just aging his cells with his regeneration suspended. 11 aged naturally and with the wear and tear of fighting in a war for 900 years it’s understandable his body begins to fail earlier in its potential life cycle
Good explanation. It was working in my mind, in that direction. Glad you nailed it.
Yeah. I was thinking that comparing those two incidents wasn't a thing. So far, half this list is very easily explained.
I always expected it has something to do with the rift giving off gallifreyan air, which maybe slows timelords aging process. or the timelords maybe even giving tiny bits of energy off to keep the rift open.
I always thought it was because it was supposed to be his last regeneration. Like the regeneration energy kept 10 from dying of old age, but since 11 explain he had no more regenerations left he was able to die from old age
1 was in the 400s when he died of old age. 6 was already 900, and he was 945 in his first episode as 7. Then you have 11 going off for 1000 and not aging a day, but then getting old as hell on trenzalore. At least the classic series was more consistent with aging. As for the “suppress long his ability to regenerate” that would only mean he couldn’t regenerate. He shouldn’t be looking that old. Also how would the Master have access to Galifrayan technology? Personally I go with the Master used the Lazarus technology to turn the Doctor into a harmless monster, since that’s basically what happened to Mark Gatiss in the Lazarus effect
Clara went to university, she was gonna take a year and travel the world but then her friend died so she stayed to look after the kids. She could have studied to become a teacher, The Doctor obviously helped her get the job at coal hill school since Ian is on the school board.
But the thing is she never stated once she was in college or anything that would’ve made her being a teacher in the anniversary special going forward make sense let alone being what seems like an established teacher like some time had passed since Trenzalore happened but never mentioned and it feels like it was done just to have the school from an unearthly child in the anniversary special when they could have just as well had like a brief scene of something like Ian retiring as the school’s principal or something since it doesn’t really play a major role in the anniversary special
@kevin10001 1. Of course they did it so they could show the school again it was the 50th anniversary...
2. Ian was the chairman of governors, not the Headmaster
3. Just because she is never shown to do something doesn't mean it didn't happen.
4. They did a comic in 2015/2016 that says that after jumping in to the doctors time stream she left the tardis and became a teacher and moved to coal Hill, 6 months later she regretted leaving the tardis
In regards to the magpie tech, the tardis "regenerates" for lack of a better word when the doctor keep destroying it. Or when it feels like doing so.
It dose also have a couscousness. So it regards to brand deals no, but its really not to hard to believe it just thaught it be funny to have magpie tech. Or a different explanation.
Clara's Mother died. Also if you want to call me a nerd ...you've picked one heck of a comments section to square up to me in.
@@Lightbringer115 but the comics aren’t show cannon since a lot of fans don’t read or listen to the expanded meadow stuff making it expanded universe cannon that has no barrings to the show it’s still a plot hole for the show
I don't get the problem with 9 seeing himself for the first time and "already" having been loads of places.
No he hasn't. That will be his future ...
The same would be asking 10 why he doesn't remember giving Martha his tie, even though we saw it happen already.
It's a time thing. I love it.
Yeah like Liz 1 being mad at 10 at some point, even though he doesn’t know why yet, he will eventually. We even found out when 10 returns during 11s era that he married her (and then obviously skips town like always)
Yep that was my thoughts already those things are going to happen in his future
I was like "He's a time traveler for crying out loud!" It's like Riversong knowing the Doctor in reverse. Timey Wimey and all that stuff.
That would make sense, if there were a lot of actual time for that. Since he regenerates literally in the same series. Yes ofc there are spots where there could be time skips, but going on so many adventures without his companion at some point within the series just seems unlikely
Clara being a teacher isn’t the issue it’s that she’s completely fine mentally and physically after jumping into the time stream of an immortal alien
My thought was always that Clara as a teacher was a "variant" of herself after she entered the time stream, just like all her other versions. And none of them had any physical or mental issues (aside apparently some memory loss in Asylum of the Daleks and the Snowmen for some reason)
@@MrRolord that would explain why she's so different when she's with 12 (apart from the last specials with 11)
Honestly I think this one really needs no explaination, the last thing we see on NOTD is 11 and Clara walking away from the war doctor. This suggests they are leaving the time stream. Then unspecified period of time happens, Clara clearly needed time off so she found a job. Why is she qualified to teach? Why was she qualified to Nanny? Maybe she was a nanny in the summer and taught in the fall, maybe when she stepped out of the time stream the version of her was not the same version that went in.
Records of the 9th doctor could have been his future self
Yes. Humans sleep a lot more than time lords. Rose may have asked him about. Then he would have to do it.
My theory is that he travels just at the end of Rose. Rose rejects travelling, he goes about the universe, saving people and running a lot, and then comes back, remembering that he never mentioned it was a time machine.
@@TrakeniteAdventuress there's a book (audio?) with this exact premise.
@@TrakeniteAdventuress
That's a variant of a similar theory about the fourth doctor explaining his apparent long history of travelling alone as the 4th Doctor (particularly his previous visit to the planet in The Face of Evil); he did it all when he pops off in the TARDIS and promptly returns at the end of "Robot".
Exactly..... Good lord, this channel. It's wibbly, wobbly, timey, wimmy.
The thing with 9 is that he went back in time to persuade Rose to join him, hence why the moment he came back and said it was a time machine she ran straight to him.
Spot on.
I was nearly 50 before I noticed how big my nose is and petite is not a word I'd use to describe my hooter.
I was thinking that he did his adventures while she slept but what if all those newsclipping were from between the disappearing and reappearing.
Also there is at least one official story that plays in that scene
Always thought,they marked the encounters with the Silence in their faces when they saw them behind themselves in mirrors...
My theory for the Pting in prison is that the blue lights around the cell is the same energy that Yaz and Ronan used to temporarily hold back the Pting in the Tsuranga Conundrum.
Yeah, it was clearly a "look how impossible it is to escape this prison, even the impossible to contain Pting is trapped."
@@tjet34and also "you can't eat the walls! Believe me, I tried!"
@@tjet34 Yes, this!! That was the whole point. How does one actually trap a Silence, or the Doctor, or a Pting? We don't need to know the technicalities of how these incredible creatures are actually being held. What it does is it shows us that this prison really is inescapable. If it can hold the impossible-to-imprison Pting, then how does a mere Timelord stand a chance?
@@heatherfyffe3618 I'd like to mention you didn't even mention the angel... LITERAL STONE.. half the time atleast.
The angels were captured in 2thC New York ;)
In regards to the Master’s Dalek Plan, don’t conveniently forget that the Master has consistently had overly convoluted schemes *to get the Doctor’s attention*. That’s it, they just like causing trouble, who cares if it makes sense. It’s the most consistent character trait for them.
The Master is the definition of Chaotic Evil.
That's true but that whole "ima become the doctor" thing makes literally no sense. The Russia and getting caught by unit stuff is typical master shenanigans but he doesn't become the doctor he just... I dunno something something regeneration energy and is now wearing her clothes and can use her tardis whilst she stays in a glass jar?
The Master is always the biggest show off in the who-niverse
@@Cheesusful I feel like Jodie's episodes will become like the Star Wars sequels or the Eragon movie, where the majority of the fandom pretends it doesn't exist because of how bad it is.

3:14
I always thought that it was 9 but in the future. It’s a new face but all the photos that they had are future adventures he had. Adventures he had without rose and one’s that we dont see on screen.
exactly!
Exactly! He's a time traveler, his timeline isn't always linear.
Number 8 doesn't necessarily need to be a plot hole. After all, the Doctor does have a time machine. So he could still just have regenerated in that episode and at the same time there could still already be photos and records of him with this face from the past. Who says, that those version of him are in his past. So those photos and records could be of an older him who travelled to before he regenerated into the new face ;)
timey-wimey stuff.
Or the fact that the doctors dont allways do the most human thing. For us should we get hurt we look at the wound, if we regenerated we probably would immediately look at our new face.
I feel its entirely possible that he just didnt think to check himself out before going on adventures and just kinda got carried away for how ever long.
And again timie whimie.
He could have had all those photos taken in less then an hour depending on how long he stayed at each one.
Or yeah future 9.
Yes. It is exceptionally weird that this channel dedicated to Doctor Who forgot about *time travel.*
@@pyrite-py8eh Or even a past face, we now know the Doctor returns to old favourites, it could be a pre mind wipe doctor, long before Hartnell's.....
I read a theory somewhere that in the moments for rose at the end of Rose the doctor actually traveled on their own for a while, so that could explain the photographs as well
Do you want a thing in Doctor Who to make sense? The series that explained that "from a non-linear non-subjective point of view it is more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff" (one of the best ways to explain that Doctor Who doesn't care in the least for consistent explanations). For any other sci-fi series I would agree and demand consistency, but Doctor Who never takes itself so seriously that we need that and it show it all the time: "He is and alien? But he has an accent from the north. Well they have a north on his planet too".
Accept Doctor Who for it is: a very cool, funny fantasy TV series that we cherish since our childhood, that stretch consistency as most as it can when it is needed for the plot...or...this is what I want you to think...
The section A Time Machine That Needs Time makes perfect sense. The TARDIS only appears to people outside the TARDIS to take a few second to get from one place to another. But the TARDIS travels through the time vortex. The TARDIS could dematerialise outside Donna's house at 12pm and rematerialise next to it at 11am the same day making it look like the TARDIS doubled to Wilf. The TARDIS travelled in the time vortex long enough for River to be concieved. It has ALWAYS taken the TARDIS time to get to a place but when you can travel through time it looks to people experiencing time linearly that it takes way less time than it actually does. They're not just travelling through space, they're travelling though time.
For 9 it was stated i think in a book that he was so ashamed of what he done in the war that he couldn't look at his face and he had some adventures before finally deciding to look at the mirror
I think in rose it also said that weeks had passed for the doctor between the different times that rose met the doctor in the episode.
I think it also said that he smashed every mirror in the Tardis
apparently he would even destroy mirrors before he could even look in them lol
He's also a time traveler, perhaps for him some of those adventures had not happened yet.
I always assumed that the trips to Dallas 1963 and others just hadn’t happened yet.
9 could have done those things AFTER meeting Rose, time travel and all.
Clara was already a teacher, or qualified to be, being a nanny as a favor. Preparing to travel later. No idea how she got back, doesn't seem important though.
The later Masters (and to a lesser extent Missy) love messing with the Doctor using grand plans and theatrics, Joker-style. They don't have to make perfect sense. Same with his aging device, it's all for show.
Either the Doctor (or a companion) added parts, or the TARDIS can copy exiting tech, especially after changing the "wallpaper".
Maybe they're Davros' cups, and we don't really know what's in them.
You should listen to the big finish i they done some 9th doctor adventures when he on his own before Rose he even meet the Brig
I could have easily been before he met Rose. How often do you see a mirror during an adventure in the past?
Yeah, an insane evil villian doing insane things isn't a plot hole.
Magpie was mostly likely branded onto to things due to the the TARDIS's psychic link with The Doctor.
There's really no problem with nanny/teacher Clara. Teachers can take different jobs between placements, so she could have been working as a nanny until she landed a suitable teaching job.
She was also only working as a nanny because the kids' mum died while she was staying with them. Having a trained teacher as a nanny makes perfect sense to me.
My high school chemistry teacher also coached golf and had a floor tiling business in the summer. Many people are capable of doing many things. Imagine that.
The problem is that there is no mention of her being in college/university or at least having a teaching degree the whole Clara is a teacher now out of the blue feels more like just a way to get the school from the pilot an unearthly child into a anniversary special and it’s a Clara plot hole I bring up in Clara discussions can it lends credibility to the fact they didn’t know what to do with her and just made her fit the episodes as they came up
@@kevin10001 I don't think we need to be told that character X has a degree in Y. And, as has been said, it's not remotely a stretch to believe that a teacher (of children) might once have been a nanny (of children).
#8 is very simple if you are familiar with "Blink." Prssumably, at some point during the 9th's adventures that we see, he has some we don't see. Time machine. Also, perhaps a future incarnation revisits that face.
Ok so I have a theory about number 8. At the end of Rose, we see the Doctor leave Rose behind only to come right back and say "Did I mention it travels in time too?" From our point of view this happens instantaneously, but we don't know how long the Doctor was gone for. So the images that Clive references could've take place then. This is backed up in Day of the Doctor when the War Doctor says he is 800 years old. At the end of Day of the Doctor he regenerates into the 9th and sees his face for the first time in Rose's mirror. In Aliens of London, the 9th Doctor says he is 903. so 103 years passes for him before he decided to come back and try to convince Rose one more time.
It's possible that Rose didn't want to come so the Doctor explicitly was in the place to get those photos knowing eventually Clive would have them for Rose to see. Essentially the Doctor created a small scale paradox. I do find that teh Doctor can sometimes be a bit manipulative and I think this was one of those times subconciously changing Rose's mind after she initially said No to coming.
#5 maybe being the last incarnation of the 12 original regenerations, the regeneration mechanism gives timelords really long lifespan as it will be their last one.
I like that.
Not to mention that ARTIFICIAL aging might have different effects than aging naturally.
6:51 I took it to mean that FORCED time has a completely different affect on Time Lords than NORMAL time without the protection of the TARDIS... made sense in my head.. ;)
I don´t know how to explain it in a science-y way, but in my head the physical age of the body, and the way the doctor naturally ages are different.
When the Master force-ages him, it basically shows what his body would look like at +100 years, without any timelord stuff.
But when he ages "naturally", I´d say he ages at 1/10th of the regular time. So his *body* would still be around that +100 years or so, but it´d take him 1000 years to get there.
(This idea is mostly taken from DnD, where Druids physically age only 1 year for every 10 years they lived.)
Does the tardis slow the aging of the occupants? And now being the timeless child, realizes that it's only the galifreyan natives that were given regeneration are restricted to 13 incarnations or risk madness as they are not truly his people. Cough cough good blunt
9th Doctor: Who said only a second passed from the Doctor's perspective between telling Rose that the TARDIS could travel through all of space, and returning to tell her that it also can travel through time? I like to think that the Doctor had several adventures in that span of time, and returned to give Rose a second chance. This would also explain returning from the next adventure a year late, as the Doctor probably forgot to account for that year of journeys spent without Rose when calculating the date and time on which to return her.
For #5 I’m pretty sure The Master has a line “what if I suspend your capacity to regenerate” before transforming The Doctor for the second time. As I understand it thats what a Time Lord would look like if they couldn’t regenerate when they hit old age.
I mean 11 couldn't regenerate either because he had none left
Also, humans also age different ways.. Not every 40 yo looks the same
1, cup and tea bag in his time lord pockets, he used the Dalek blasts to boil the water
Of course! The Doctor can pull practically anything out of their pockets so that makes sense. Good logic on how he got his tea warmed up, only he would show up the Daleks by having their weapons warm up his drink! Just his way of sticking his thumb in their eyestalks to show he's always 10 steps ahead of them! 😂👍
My thoughts about the Magpie items in the Tardis is that Eleven himself added them or the Tardis added them For Eleven because he'd like them so much, as they really Are very him. After all he has a corded phone and an answer phone (Six in Big Finish also), a typewriter.... Just so perfectly Eleven 😊
Honestly, this makes sense. I like to think despite all the wire stuff, the Doctor has a soft spot for Magpie's electricals.
I was baffled when she said it makes no sense, at the end of the day, the doctor is known to hook things up to the TARDIS, it's still a machine of sorts, mostly. With wires and gizmos. But yeah I do agree with you
The Magpie Electronics stuff might be the Doctor's additions to the TARDIS. Yes, TARDISy are grown, but 12th refurbished 11th's Desktop Theme (also known as Toyota) with bookcases, a black chalkboard and other stuff. Even changed lighting. So why not adding some stuff here and there? Plus the TARDIS is telepathically linked to the Doctor, she could use brands, because the Doctor came into contact with them. The Ghost Monument (yep, I'm gonna keep calling 13th Doctor's TARDIS by that name) even grew freaking Stenza crystals for her, because the Doctor made her Swiss Army Sonic with Sheffield steel and confiscated Stenza technology. Because they share a telepathic link and the Doctor loves her new sonic, the Ghost Monument adapted to it by creating a Crystaline theme from the same material, used in its creation. Simple as that.
Another cool thing is that the Magpie Electronics sticker in Smith's TARDIS proves the TARDIS isn't an AI artbot. Why? Well, whenever the TARDIS lands it scans around for several miles to find something to turn into before it inevitably "turns into" a police call box. That means it "sees" everything, including things it couldn't visibly see . . . but it scans down to a molecular level. So when it changed is "desktop" for Smith Doctor it went for an eclectic design, and thought, "What does my Doctor like? Oh, yes, London. We're always going to London." So it made a console room built out of artifacts from all over London's space and time, including fancy shop displays, electronics, pinball machines, and so on.
Have you ever looked at a collection of AI-generated art for imaginary sci-fi movies? All the signs are gibberish because the AI art program doesn't know that they mean anything. Well, the TARDIS does understand signs -- not only does it translate languages, it actually has a sign! -- so it bothered to replicate the Magpie Electronics branding on all the items it copied from that source. The TARDIS: it understands us . . . and gives credit to the original creator when it makes fair use.
Absolutely! The Doctor would want to trick out the TARDIS! The old girl can't be allowed to look her age. Didn't the writer ever watch Top Gear?
@@topcat1255 Are you implying that the Doctor stole the TARDIS by removing and inverting the hazard warning light switch? TARDIS SRi -- easy to steal, but it still looks good in a police box wrap!
@@SingularityOrbit I'm merely wondering why, with all of time and space to meander around, he (or she) never hung a pair of fuzzy dice from somewhere on the console.
I assumed that there is a room somewhere full of gadgets that this version of the TARDIS decided to use in it's console design. In the same way the TARDIS moved the library into the console room for 12. (And presumably moved the swimming pool somewhere else)
My theory for the inconsistent aging is that every regeneration biologically rewrites the process because its literally said in universe that it rewrites everything 🧬🫀🫀
-Adam
Yeah I always assumed that when the Master aged the doctor he aged him 100 years to what his bodys natural way of aging would be, but when 11 was aging it was slower because the doctor is basically a god and can kind of do whatever?
Also when The Master did it to The Doctor it was unnatural and forced, as opposed to when he aged normally.
I always assumed the Master aged him like a human, given the Doctor's love for them. The Gollum is an unnaturally aged human kept alive out of spite.
Adam said that? Whoa...
@@BigFunnyGiant yea, it could have even been side effects given its an unnatural form of ageing.
It was my understanding that in that brief period of time when 9 left Rose behind before returning to say "It also travels in time" is when he went to be in those pictures, as a sort of proof to Rose, because he knew that she would see those images.
It's a time travel show.
8, simple answer, all the pictures have yet to happen for the doctor
As Rose obviously isn't in any of the pictures that Clive shows her (I guess she could've been there, wibbly wobbly timey wimey) I think 9 went to all those events in between the time where he first asks Rose to travel with him and the time where the TARDIS rematerializes a minute later and the doctor says "Did I mention it also travels in time?". I think Big Finish might've made this canon in some way, but i'm not completely sure - it remains my headcanon though.
I really don't get why people are so weird about 12s cup of tea. I mean it's just a joke and if you want an in universe explanation we see that 12 can keep a full glass of water in his pockets without it spilling in that superman episode so he probably did the same with the tea.
I know the tea bit is odd but "Admit it, you have all had this exact nightmare, so anyone for Dodgems?" Will always be my favourite Capaldi moment.
THe tea bit makes perfect sense, his pockets are bigger on the inside, he could have pulled out the cup and filled it from a thermos whilst they were blasting him.
Aging inconsistency:
Its entirely possible that due to the unnatural aging via the Laser Screwdriver there were most likely side affects (aka the Golem look) while with 11 natutraly aged and that's why he looks younger. Its my headcannon that the Laser Screwdriver's unnatural process (as well as it was the same device/technology created by Laszurus, but smaller and we know how well Laszurus turned out) it turned the Doctor into that Golem look.
#9 - the Matrix records a lot of things (see the evidence presented in "Trial of a Time Lord") and I guess advanced races would be able to hack it. As the Master showed the Keeper of the Matrix, it isn't all that secure
10 aging vs 11 aging doesn't feel like a mistake or anything. With 10, what the Master was doing to him was basically: Here's what it would be like if you physically aged to 900 but you can't die and can't regenerate. Just stuck feeling the weight of all those years but unable to die. It was an unnatural thing that the Master inflicted upon the Doctor, while 11 aging was natural.
Clara wasn't exactly a nanny, though. She stopped by a friend's house for a visit before she set off on travels and the friend died, so she stayed on to help take care of the friend's kids. It's entirely believable that she was taking a year off for travel after graduating before taking a full-time teaching position when her friend died, getting her stuck in the "nanny " position for a while.
Davos on a few occasions explains the daleks have built in fail safes to stop them from being able to harm him, and I always remembered that being stated in the episode when the doctor steals the chair.
For #4, the TARDIS crash-landed in the Ponds’ shed, & she rebuilt herself by cannibalizing several of the items in that shed, such as the Magpie Tech telephone.
With number 9, an explanation for the footage can be found in the 1965 serial, the chase. At the beginning, it show the doctor repairing a time-space visualiser (given to him in the previous episode, the space museum)which can show the viewer any moment in time and space. It works by converting light energy into electrical impulses, allowing the viewer to watch anything. Perhaps the cybermen or the atraxi used the same system.
Great vid Ellie! Never leave.
As for 11 not looking Gollum like after a hundred plus years, The Doctor lies and The Master probably does too. Maybe The Master wasn't truthful when he said The Doctor was aged 100 years. 10 could have been much older.
Now my memory may not be great since I haven't watched the eps in a long time,but what happened to the kids Clara was caring for after" Nightmare in Silver"? I don't remember any mention of them after that.
The Master's plan in the "Power of the Doctor" not making sense could be down to his Joker level insanity.
Magpie technology in 11s Tardis may not function like the equipment it appears to be. It's probably Tardis technology in the guise of old tech.
3:28 wobbly wabbly timey whimey… he could have those adventures AFTER he met Rose.
What makes less sense than Clara becoming a teacher is fans not remembering that we know she is a university graduate and it is perfectly reasonable that this degree was English, or even a PGCE. She is 26 when she meets the Doctor after all, and approximately 27 when we meet the two again in Day of the Doctor.
The tally marks get even funnier when you realise they were probably drawn sucessively. Meaning it could have just been the same single Silence forgotten and re-spotted four hundred times.
Have they really, explicitly said that the TARDIS travels 'instantly' from place to place? They might have played fast and loose a bit with how long travel takes when they're chatting inside, but I think they've always done that even in the older series. Besides, these days the opening credits usually show the TARDIS travelling through a wormhole/timestream, which has to take some time to do in itself, even if it's a shortcut between moments and places.
Idk what happened in that episode, but if both locations were on earth the doctor might not have even gone into the time stream and just flew there instead, also if they did go through the timestream just because it took 4 minutes to get there from their perspective doesn't mean it wasn't instant from an outside perspective, but I would have to watch the episode to know more context
@@R_Claw05
There is that, too.
3:57 - That callout of the heart to heart was brilliant lol. I had that exact thought when watching the episode, especially since I knew it would be Ryan's last.
How could the ninth Doctor have been in all of those places if he's just seeing his ears for the first time? Have you forgotten that he's a time traveler? He went to all of those places and times after the first episode.
Actually, it is suggested that, between his encounters with Rose, the Doctor was spending weeks on other adventures, not to mention between the failed and sucessful attempts to recruit Rose.
"angry little minion that killed roy kent". dude i love that show. that was funny af
I had *_just_* come to terms with accepting the Silence for what they are without questioning them.
*Dammit, Ellie!*
Thanks to this channel I imagined what it would be like if Amy Pond had simply written "LOTS! RUN!!" on her face instead of all the tally marks and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing
3:23 for this one it’s probably because he can be seen in multiple crowds in important moments in history. This means there likely wasn’t a chance to look at his own face as when would he get a chance to look in a mirror?
It could also be during adventures which still hadn't happened by the time of the first episode. He is a time traveller after all.
9 hadn't done the things in the records yet from his perspective. Its a show about time travel for crying out loud.
I'm surprised they seemed to have such difficulty with that. It's an obvious one.
During Ten's era, the Doctor explains that the presence of the Tardis translates any alien language into English and vice versa (and English into Punjabi for Graham, Yaz and Ryan). That's why the written signs in ancient Pompeii appear to be in English for Donna, and everyone gradually gets to understand the invaders in The Christmas Invasion. But in that case, how did everyone understand "Tim Shaw" in the Thirteenth Doctor's first story, when her Tardis was missing? Did he speak fluent English?
Eleven has Paul Rudd genes 😅
The aging one makes sense with one key word with the master and 10. 'Forced aging'. The master aged the doctors body, not made him older himself. It does seem apparent that time lords can control their aging
Ok am i the only 1 who doesnt think any of these are plot holes 🤔🤷♀️🤷♀️ could explain why for all these things 🤔 🤷♀️
Why did they draw on their own faces when they had space left on their arms and hands? It bugged me the whole episode!!!!
Number 8 is easy to explain. While in the past in relation to the universe, it is an older Doctor that went there, so in his future. Like how the first time the Doctor met River Song was the last time she saw him.
For number 8 maybe after the time war the Dr believed that he didn't deserve to know what he looked like IDK or the pictures rose is shown are from the 9th drs future no past,with them showcasing off screen adventures and rose just isn't there for whatever reason
And for number five in my head canon time lords only age at certain points in their first and last incarnations or if their holding of a regeneration for a long time like the war Dr did
The Saxon Master made it so all the Doctor's "inside" age turned into "outside" age. Timelords wouldn't normally shrivel up like that
i have to be honest. The idiots lantern is not as bad as people believe it is. It just happens to be sandwhiched in between a pair of two parters, (AGe of Steel/Rise of the Cybermen and The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit) and it gets overlooked as a result. Even Blink would have been overlooked if sandwhiched in between those episodes.
YASSSS! I don't get the hate, I love it!
Blink was sandwiched in between the arguably best story in the modern era and the best finale, and nobody overlooks it. The Idiot's Lantern is just bad
@@dogswifty7800 beg to differ. Blink Just bad. In fact, it is so bad it would have to improve to be BAD. It is perhaps the most overrated episode in the history of the Show. The only episode that comes close to being THAT overrated is Listen; which is (to paraphrase the Everly Brothers) Not so hot. Doesn't have much of a plot.
@@josephcooter5763 so from what I could gather you don't like Blink because it's "bad" the only reason you can think of to justify your argument. And The Idiot's Lantern is great but overlooked because of the two parters (one wasn't as spectacular as the other, or what Blink is sandwiched between) I dont like The Idiot's Lantern because the side characters are incredibly annoying (Magpie especially) the villain doesn't offer nothing but a plot device to remove Rose from the story for no other reason than strangely trying to incorporate The Doctor's darker side. Like when he snapped at Mr Connolly, very out of character for The Doctor.
@@dogswifty7800 I never said Idiot's lantern was a great episode. I just said that it's repuation suffers suffers becuase of it's place on the schedule. Blink is overrated becuase it features the debut of a really scary monster. Outside of that the characters actions are just dumb. They're like the teens from that Gieco Commercial hiding from the killer in a Barn with the Door WIDE OPeN. They're just not the brightest tools in the shed.
That said I do have a soft spot for idiots lantern becuase the side plot involving the Abusive Dad kind of hits close to home and the way the wife finally kicked him out was kind of the way I wished my own mom would have delt with my Dad at times. My Dad had an explosive tempor and was prone to paranoia; especially when it came to his family. That's not really a good combination and I was incapable of dealing with it. Idiots Lantern is sort of therapuetic for me in that regard.
The face marks could be a way for reminding others of the Silence, since you look more at others faces than your own hands during a conversation.
In the States, teachers often get the summers off. So Clara being a governess during season 7.5 is not too much a stretch.
Clara being in the show in Season 7 very much is a push, though. This is because Jenna Coleman was not born until 1986, making it impossible for her to have been in the show in 1970, a whole 16 years earlier.
Coleman was about 25 when she started DW.
@@KenjiHouston Indeed she was. That’s not remotely relevant though as everything I have said is entirely correct and based purely on what you wrote.
3:05 it's a show with time travel
i think u can figure the rest out if u just think a bit
12 has pockets that are bigger on the inside that where he has his tea
And time is fixed in them. No one wants Jelly Babies and tea mixed.
3:15 Ive been thinking about this since I was 11, so 2005, he leaves Rose near her flat estate at the end of the episode and buzzes off for what we feel to be a few seconds, then ports back and said: "oh did I mention, it also moves in time?" In that intervening "seconds" he could have done all those things, gone to Sumatra, stoped those folks from going on the Titanic, seen the death of JFK, then bounced back.
The daleks just randomly grabbing 11, Amy and Rory at the start of Asylum of the Daleks. If they can capture the Doctor any time they like the Doctor should be dead.
Clara meeting a very young 1st Doctor in Listen. If the time-war is time-locked nobody should be able to visit Gallifrey pre or during the time war and potentially alter events. The only reason 10 and 11 get through was because of the Moment super weapon,
I don’t usually comment on this kind of thing but I really enjoy your narration (for lack of a better word) Ellie :) love the sass, the subtle comedic delivery, even the sharpness of your voice :) (I typically struggle to stay engaged) great stuff 👍
4:23 That's because Newman (I mean Chibnall ) is total and complete TOOL who single-handedly damn near ENDED Dr Who... THANK GOD Russell T Davies is back to save the day!!!
None of which is actually true in the slightest.
#8 Is fairly easily explained: The guy who looked up and found the stock footage of 9 was looking at things that 9 hadn't done yet but would do soon. This doesn't explain why he has no footage of Rose or other compantions in these shots, but perhaps these are just times when the compantions where elsewhere.
If the Master really wanted to make the Doctor look evil, his takeover wouldn't have changed her face.
The Doctor changes with every regeneration, so the Master forcing the Doctor regenerating into him was meant as the Doctor's regeneration, thus from Jodie into Sacha. So yes, including a body and face change. When he then did all that bad stuff and announced himself as the Doctor (being in the Doctor's force-regenerated body), he was still kinda correct, people could think, that the Doctor regenerated and became evil. But only those, who knew about the Doctor's regeneration ability and weren't present at the force-regeneration event. That was kinda the point, wasn't it?
@@Croftice1 Or he could have done it differently where the Master doesn't take over the Doctor's body, but forces the Doctor to regenerate into an exact clone of him, either just a new form physically but with the Master's mindset, or a clone that is exactly like Dhawan's Master both physically and mentally.
Tbf the master does specify that he was making it so you could "see" the doctors age. So was different to matts which was natural aging
I love that you call him Roy Kent
For 12, he used his sonic specs and the dalek weapon energy to make a cup of tea.
Doctor takes his tea, as he does in the story Shada, when the professor asks him if he wants one lump or two, then asks if he wants sugar!
10. P'Ting was thought to be impossible to imprison when The Doctor first encountered it. As of the second appearance, either developed a specific technology to house it, or someone else in the universe was revealed to have anti-P'Ting safeguards for the prison to implement. It's enough of a threat for many civilisations to collaborate on.
9. Mostly this is going to be a Rule of Cool where yeah they just reuse old footage and don't explain it. They *could* explain it either by suggesting The Doctor/their companions had their memories extracted/minds scanned at some point in order to establish a database, or you could also say some kind of entity (like Marvel's The Watcher) or technology (like the Teselecta) are spectating key moments in The Doctor's timeline for any number of reasons, with their observations being highly valued by The Doctor's enemies (maybe even shared around to maintain an up to date database on The Doctor's appearances/capabilities/etc).
8. Easy. Nine goes off at some point after Rose to photobomb historical pictures/old timey family photos. He could even be doing what Tennant later did with Martha and the tie, purposefully showing himself up in pictures he knows Rose would see in her investigation in order to bootstrap their meeting, *and* lay the groundwork for convincing her to join him by leaving, going back in time to set this all up, then returning to remind her "did I mention it can also travel in time?".
7. This seems like way more of a behind the scenes excuse for The Doctor to *have* to talk to Ryan, yeah. You could explain it away as either The Doctor purposefully causing a delay, the TARDIS instinctively extending the travel time for an important conversation to take place, or the exact route they're taking through the time vortex being more hazardous/"wibbly wobbly" for that exact journey.
6. Clara very much could be a teacher even prior to becoming a nanny. Feels bad for the family losing the mother figure, helps look after the kids in after school club/etc as the dad is a wreck for a while, bonds with them enough to accept a caregiver role in the household, pausing her teaching role in the meantime. She helps the husband and kids improve their lives to the point where she's not needed, and (after having a traumatic experience in The Doctor's time streaming) decides to go back to being a teacher.
5. Didn't The Master say he was going to make him show all those years of aging? Time Lords have a slower aging cycle anyway (The Impossible Astronaut has both versions of Eleven looking the same despite 200 years difference), I always took it as The Master fiddling with The Doctor's genetics to make him appear decades if not centuries older *by Gallifreyan standards*, ignoring the Time Lord life expectancy (which is hard to pin down, but if we said it was about 1000 years given the duration between Ten's regeneration and Eleven's) in order to reflect how a Time Lord would look going from a physical form in their 30s to a physical form going on 1000. This was also with twisted Lazarus tech, not natural aging next to the Crack in Reality, things are going to be different.
4. TARDIS's are grown, sure. But they also don't chuck out and destroy all The Doctor's possessions. While it's possible The TARDIS could grow new devices like screens and phones (the Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS episode shows this), it's just as easy for The Doctor to acquire devices on his travels and tinker with them to implement them in the TARDIS. Magpie Electronics are clearly high quality by their brand longevity, and The Doctor could have a sentimental attachment for the brand reminding him of his adventure with Rose in the Idiot's Lantern.
3. I don't really like his plan either. I don't like most of the stories of the Chibbers era. But it doesn't really work if he just dresses like The Doctor. All it takes is one advanced probe or mind scan to cast credible doubt on this being the universal hero The Doctor, and suddenly the story changes from "The Doctor is a psychopath genociding worlds" to "There's some bastard running around cosplaying as The Doctor trying to besmirch their name". It still doesn't fully hold up, anyone checking for something beyond a genetic match would be able to tell the behaviour and mind in that body are of The Master (or at least not of The Doctor), but remember, The Master is still quite insane. It's a miracle he got as far as he did.
2. Yeah kinda ridiculous. It makes sense if they're trying to be quiet when they come across a swarm of Silents (as Amy does a couple times) and if there's a reflective surface to see your face, then I guess it's a more alarming reminder to have it on your face which *isn't* going to accidentally get rubbed off or be hidden (unlike if you start stripping off to doodle up your biceps and legs, not like we see Amy and Rory running around in vests and underpants to maximise tally space).
1. Time Lord pockets, storing a tea cup and saucer, a thermos of tea, and plausibly some Jammy Dodgers.
It seems you're not aware that Doctor Who has time travel in it. Clive's sighting of the Doctor could have been in the Doctor's future.
"New man or Not?" He can travel through time. The Paradox of him seeing himself for the first time but others having evidence of him throughout time is no mistake. Its literally how he works lol
9:45 I always thought that one mark means seeing the Silence once. Not counting them, just a 'you saw them, then forgot'.
Which, I now realise, also makes zwro sense since they wouldn't be able to remember where all the tally marks are, to draw them next to each other or even know that there are four so the next one crosses them all.
“Impenetrable walls”
*Thinks about Titanic in space crashing into Tardis scene*
Discovered this channel recently and it's become absolutely one of my favorites
10. If you can imprison a Weeping Angel (creatures that can move if you're not looking at them), then a Pting might just be a bit easier.
9. How do you know the Atraxi wasn't just reading his mind? Also, the Cybermen (and maybe also the Daleks) have obsessively video recorded their times with The Doctor. Maybe those are just some more moments they were able to get.
8. You have talked about the audio series featuring The Ninth Doctor. Did you not know that they were set before the events of Rose? (He also smashed every mirror in the TARDIS because he didn't want to see his face, being ashamed of what he thought he'd done during The Time War.) Also, what did you think happened when The Doctor initially said goodbye to Rose after she turned down travelling with him and then came back telling her the TARDIS travels in time? That it was just a few seconds for him as well as her? And there's a thought that Rose was with The Doctor, just not seen.
6. Clara said she was looking after Archie and Angie because she was doing a favour as their mum died and was a friend of Clara's. (And may have even been the woman with her at the end of The Snowmen.) How do you know she didn't already have anything? Also, Ian and Barbara (The Doctor's first ever human companions) were teachers at Coal Hill (with Ian having even become the head of the governors and told the headteacher back then Mr. Armitage about The Doctor). The Doctor could've obviously pulled a few strings.
4. You know The Doctor has manually changed the inside of the TARDIS, right?
3. I can't believe I'm defending Jodie Whittaker's time, but you know that The Master likes over the top schemes and messing with The Doctor and their friends, right?
1. As The Doctor said, "I'm The Doctor. Just accept it."
2:30 The pilot actually is his first adventure as 9, what Clide showed Rose happened at the end of the episode, when he left only to come back and say "did I mention it travels through time?"
Also, at 9:05, he didn't just impersonate the Doctor, that was his idea of fun, but the main goal was to hijack the Doctor's **body**, now knowing she was the timeless child, in order to steal her regenerations. Otherwise, he could have just regenerated in his own body and take 13's appearance if his main goal was simply to give the Doctor a bad reputation
3:19 Maybe these are his versions from the future, and and the 9-st Doctor actually had a lot of adventures with Rose off-screen?
4:08 Well that's quite easy to explain, the TARDIS takes longer because The Doctor needs her to.
3:06
Wibbly-wibbly, timey-wimey.
Those pictures were from adventures "9" hadn't been on yet until AFTER he met Rose.
Remember when Rose chose to continue travelling with him?
He left.
Then, he came back, and mentioned to her it could travel through time.
THEN she left with him, presumably AFTER he had been in those adventures while he was gone.
the doctor's pockets are canonically bigger on the inside and we have seen him pull full cups of tea out of them before.
3:09 Clive has historical photos of the doctor, but the Doctor could have visited those places in our future, after he met Rose, before she agreed to travel, or even when she was changing her mind about joining him
Number 8 isn’t a problem. He leaves at the end of the first episode and (to us) Instantly comes back. But from The Doctor’s perspective he could have bounced around history for 100s of years then come right back to the moment he left.
4:23 thats fair but this happened the episode Tenant took over aswell. He said something to rose about the tardis going faster, or wanting more speed or something like that
12 got milk for his tea in the same place that Clara got the milk for the soufflé.
the "New Man Or Not" makes a ton of sense... if you remember the doctor is a time traveler and doesn't always have adventures with his companions. he sometimes solos things. perhaps those where events after meeting rose and he said "I need a me day"
Hi Ellie! You said it doesn’t make sense that Clive has a drawing of the ninth Doctor when in that episode we see that the Doctor seems to have only just transformed into the ninth. Are we forgetting that the Doctor is a time traveller? It just means that the drawing was made sometime in the Doctor’s future but sometime in Clive’s linear past.
The doctor teleports by using the energy of the dalek's blast, grabs a cup of tea from somewhere and he teleports back.
I’ve always hated how there always seems to be a reboot of the master, tardis and ‘everything previous is forgotten” when a new dr turns up. I was jumping for joy when Moffat actually kept the same master and river song which made sense!
6:50 aging quicker / not living as long could be a side affect of forced aging and the gollum stage could be another thing attributed to forced aging where it makes him what he'd be like if his body *could* age that much.
3:05 when the doctor leaves Rose with Micky at the end of the episode he then goes on those adventures
the Doctor always has a cuppa tea in his pocket, he's gotta stay hydrated with all that running he does.
Nine's jacket was Fitz's. I wrote a Ninth Doctor story, so I can say that definitively, that is 100% how work-for-hire contracts work.
ANGRY LITTLE MINION THAT KILLED ROY KENT IM WHEEEEEZING😂😭😭
For number 4 I can think of the reason for magpie technology, since doctor and the tardis have a symbiotic link, it is possible that thought of magpie comes from his own mind and tardis built it.
My favourite thing about Ellie Littlechild's videos is the fact that River Song never said "Goodbye sweeties" so isn't really using her own words. She always said "Hello."
