#bbc doctor who
in honour of it being 14 years since the fires of pompeii came out i want to talk about what a goddamn FANTASTIC episode it is. like we start off with fun ancient ‘rome’ shenanigans and veni vidi vici and oh look it’s peter capaldi stealing the tardis and then. then the doctor ends up having to make the choice to save pompeii or the whole world.
and you can just see how the time war flashbacks must have come barrelling back. donna’s horror as she realises that while she was trying to save everyone she ends up being a part of their deaths. and she realises that travelling with the doctor is not all it’s cracked up to be.
AND THEN we get to just save someone. and we finally get to the resolution here, where donna and ten finally understand each other. she understands why he keeps himself so distant all the time and all the hard choices he has to make.
and he sees her sheer humanity and realises that just because he couldn’t save his own people doesn’t mean that he can’t do anything at all. there’s always something the doctor can do. and he and donna meet each other in the middle to save that one family.
it’s just brilliant i love that episode so much.
The future is here: Ncuti Gatwa has been announced as the next Doctor to take control of the TARDIS
Star of stage and screen, Ncuti Gatwa is best known for his critically acclaimed performance in SEX EDUCATION as the iconic Eric Effiong, for which he was awarded Best Actor Award at the Scottish BAFTA’s in 2020 as well as numerous nominations including Best Male Performance in a comedy programme at this year’s BAFTA’s.
Speaking of his new role, Ncuti said: “There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my utmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it’s daunting, I’m aware I’m joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show.”

‘Why not?’ declared the woman. ‘I’m impulsive. You’re impulsive. And I brought a cake.’ She took her hat off and looked inside it and then frowned. ‘Well. Maybe I ate the cake. Anyway.’

The eyebrow
Head cannon
The doctor always refer to a wolf and loves his food so got him that jumper for christmas and he never takes it off!
The Doctor at the christmas dinner
Doctor vs the grinch with food….of course he wins…
I had the head cannon that the Doctor would be bad at wrapping presents so here’s the 12th Doctor having a blast with the tape.
From the Poster….to the real thing!!!
It was pretty quick but I managed to give him the Art of Capaldi book that was first printed, I knew I kept it for a reason!!
He took the book with caution for covid reasons but was happy to take it.
Sadly didn’t have time to talk as there was other people there and he needed to get ready before the show. But was still a gentleman to see us and was happy to have social distant pictures.
The play itself was brilliant!! Highly recommend it if you haven’t got the tickets yet!!
The legend.
Oh man what a powerhouse of an episode. Capaldi has never been stronger. People seem to have been down on this season but it’s had some ridiculous strong material.
