Personally, I'd have had The Talons of Weng Chiang in there...and 100000 BC, simply because where would we be without it?

So many great stories not in there - Talons, Robots of Death, Seeds of Doom, Curse of Fenric, Inferno, Web of Fear, The Invasion, Green Death, Earthshock...

I actually, and this goes against popular opinion, don't think Blink, Human Nature / Family of Blood and Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead are as great as everyone else does.

Oh yeah, and i thought Heaven Sent was crap!

Alleged leaks:

The Doctor has to give Donna her memories back to stop The Meep from destroying London. Donna “dies” (but doesn’t because her daughter inherited half of the Metacrisis power.)
There is two doctors by the end of The Giggle because The Doctor “bi-regenerated” which was supposed to be a myth according to Fourteen.

The second special “Wild Blue Yonder” happens because in the end of special one Donna spills coffee on the TARDIS console causing it to malfunction.

Rose Tyler doesn’t show up in anything other than the “Previously Fifteen Years ago…” segment at the start of the first special.

The Meep didn’t crash it was on purpose.

Rose is Non-Binary and uses she/they pronouns. (the reason she is kind of is because of the Doctor as The Doctor is also he, she, or they depending on regeneration.

Rose gets annoyed at The Doctor for assuming The Meep is a He.


Sounds ghastly.

I suppose it's a good thing you had advance warning

Now you know better than wasting your time watching them, and if you *do* watch them, then you have no right to come on here, complaining about how bad they are! Just think to yourself: "Oh well! With hindsight, I knew they were not for me, so maybe I shouldn't have bothered! with them"

The ninth in an occasional series:

'Doctor Who' as featured in other medium

In the 2019 Aardman animated adventure film 'Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon', there are a number of references to the programme:

This looks and sounds very much like a sonic screwdriver!

When dressing up in a costume at the farm festival, what could be better than a Dalek outfit!

A familiar figure comes out of a portaloo... which also looks kinda familiar!!

But why do you want to watch drivel if you are already convinced that it is going to be ghastly?

It must be awful living in Australia, where the only television channel available is Disney+ !!
