/WHO/ WILL NOT DIE! Do you hear me!
Was the worst nuwho Doctor >>63831950

I'd really like to see a BBC Miniseries about Omega and Rassilon.
Showing them an the very beginning, making the first Time Lord technology and overthrowing the Sisterhood of Karn; then telling them to fuck off to - well, Karn.
While building Time Lord society, have them argue about different things, like the ethical implications of the Looms that Rassilon wants to build.
Show Peylix embracing the title of Omega, and the Other helping the two build their great society.
You could then show the emergence of Time Lord society, a brief overview of their war against the vampires, and their slow burn which leads to their falling out.
It could end with Omega's sacrifice into the Black Hole, and Rassilon usurping complete control of Time Lord Society.
You know, while I did enjoy Love and War, I just finished it, I still gotta ask.
Does it get better then this?
>>63846765
Is 7 the necrophiliac Doctor
>>63846765
Revelation is my personal favourite of the ones I've read so far, but there are a bunch later on in the range that are probably more acclaimed and remembered. Human Nature is GOAT as you would expect (and better than the TV adaptation by the way). The Left-Handed Hummingbird is another stunner.
On this page under Defunct Series is a quite old fan ranking of the VNAs conducted by survey, obviously take it with a pinch of salt (because Doctor Who fans are sad wankers) but it's a good overview of which books have good reputations.

Daily reminder that K-9 is going to btfo OmegaBECAUSE IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE THAT A SHITTY TIN DOG COULD TAKE ON ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL BEINGS IN THE UNIVERSE
>>63848727
Well to be fair, 12 doesn't seem to be as autistic about food as 11 was so maybe he doesn't mind.
Plus some soups eat like a meal senpai
>>63848853
Omega is literally the strongest of the Time Lords.
Rassilon comes close via his gauntlet and other technology.
If he was reconstituted again, would he have his original body, or would he regenerate?
>>63848772
The reason I did it was because I found 39 of them in a used book store for $2 each.
So not as much as it should have.
>>63848967
Well that's pretty cool. I bought just the Timewym series for 40 smackeroos.
>>63848853
>>63848953
Good thing K-9 is the strongest of the tin dogs. I'm afraid the movie will be too boring because of how obviously more powerful K-9 is than Omega.

Is the tall fellow the principal from the episode where the kids eat smart juice and figure out block equations or whatever? I have a touch of face blindness
>>63850198
No. The principal was played by Anthony Head aka Giles from Buffy.
>>63850198
>I have a touch of face blindness
Yeah, you really do
>>63850198
Do you know who the guy in the middle is?
>>63850437

>>63850593
Correct.
>>63850198
I think it's Reece Shearsmith but I have a touch of name blindness.
>>63850198
He's Greg Davies.
>>63850241
My dad sat next to Anthony Head on a flight once. Of course he only knew him as the gay PM from Little Britain, so fuck knows if he actually mentioned that he recognised him.
Hey /who/
You have 10 posts after this one to convince me that rise of the cybermen/age of steel isn't fucking terrible and possibly the greatest waste of potential in doctor who history for ripping off one of the best cybermen stories ever, spare parts.
>>63851221
Now why would I want to do that when that's more or less accurate?
Oh whoops, 1 post down.
>>63851221
But that's correct.
John Lumic was stupid.
>>63851221
The whole 'steelworks' thing was such a lame fucking concept for the Cybermen. I'm not sure how it got off the ground and got dragged out for so long.
>>63851298
Waste of Roger Lloyd-Pack. R.I.P.
Is it just me or does NuWho have a habit of wasting good British actors? I know they can reuse them with some bullshit excuse, but it's not like they'll get Timothy Dalton or John Hurt again.
>>63848853
daily minder that it's not going to be canon
>>63851221
it conveyed the human horror side of what it's like to be converted against your will
the whole alternate universe thing was neat
spare parts isn't canon
>>63851400
but john hurt is doing big finish right now
>>63851221
Best thing about Tennant's run is I hardly remember any of it. I suggest you do the same, because to me that story isn't god awful, it just isn't anything to me.
>>63851583
non canon ear stories are a waste of an actor
>>63851614
I will never forget Laszlo.
He haunts my nightmares.
>>63851583
If I wanted to hear someone speak I'd head to a public payphone and dial 123.

What the hell is that and what episode was it from?
>>63851619
>>63851735
>>63851767
Daleks take Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks
>>63851475
It absolutely will be canon and there's not a fucking thing you can do about it senpai
>>63851400
It's not just you, it's chronic. You can pretty much list the number of well-used guest actors on one hand, maybe two if you're generous.
Thing is, it's always about, "holy shit we can get THIS person on the show if we act now!!!!" because that brings the attention. Potentially passing that up because the script is a waste of the actor? Not even on the table. Hence, Bill Bailey.
The confluence of a great well-known actor being available and ALSO having a role that somewhat does them justice, it's just down to pure good fortune at this point. When we get lucky it's Gambon in A Christmas Carol.
That said, I liked what we got of Hurt. I don't think I needed to see him being super edgy or terrifying or whatever
>>63851767
Your better off not knowing anon.
>>63851298
you think he refered to all the Cybermen as Dave?
>>63851820
Yeah occasionally it works, but a lot of the time it feels like a waste. Like, "Yep, that was Richard E. Grant's role. He was in Doctor Who twice before in great roles. That was him in canon. Bye."
It's not even fantastic classically-trained actors. Sometimes I sit down and think, "I wonder why they don't get Simon Pegg? Or David Mitchell?" and then oh wait, they have. I actually forgot Bill Bailey was in it ever because I forgot that whole episode.
>>63851735
what's 123 on a public payphone in britland?
>>63852146

>>63851812
It's not authorised by the BBC let alone moffat
they probably won't ever mention time lords due to ownership issues
It will merely be a movie based off of characters that were once in doctor who

Really? I recall the shitty Dalek Human, but I don't remember pig people. Did they work for the Daleks? Where the hell did they come from and what was there purpose?
How often do you think Dr Who just opens a jar of Bisto gravy granules and starts ploughing into it with a teaspoon?

>>63853438
This will do, at least.
I've always been meaning to save that Kill the Moon webm anyway.
So do you guys actually ever talk about the lore/world of Who, or is it just random shit here?

What would make S10 GOAT for you /who/?
personally:
>no daleks/cybermen/weeping angels
>companion from not modern day earth, ideally alien>male>female, bonus marks for not mid 20s
>a pure historical episode, maybe a 2 parter, free from aliens, sonic X, tardis fuckery, sciency explanation. Just the doctor and companion in the civil war, or a colony prior to settlement
>no over the top arc, even no arc wouldnt be too bad
>end the series on a happy note, no big grand finale full of emotion or attempts at emotion, just have the doctor and companion laughing together ala survival, without the cancellation
>multidoc story, preferably with a classic doctor
>generally lighthearted, more akin to classic serials
>more capaldi on guitar, even singing
>middle 8 used even once
>>63856687
>What would make S10 GOAT for you /who/?

holy fuck, that wouldve been great
‘Not here,’ Gabe said to himself. ‘Just not here.’ Out loud, he said,
‘It’s okay, Kate. We’re nearly there.’ He forced confidence into his
voice and hoped Kate wouldn’t notice that it was an act. But she
was too busy clutching her swollen stomach and catching ragged
breaths of freezing, snowy air. Gabe wasn’t lying.
A few moments earlier the blizzard had breathed, letting them see
the lights of the little town beckoning to them but then the snow had
returned and eaten the lights. Along with the lights it seemed to
have devoured the last of Kate’s strength. She was exhausted and
for the first time Gabe began to really doubt that they would make it
to the settlement. With the thought came panic. Not here. They
couldn’t fail here, not when the town was so close. They just
couldn’t.
‘Hello, there!’
The voice came through the snow. Gabe peered into the blizzard.
Three figures were making their way towards him. The tallest,
dressed in white, seemed to merge with the snow until he was
almost on top of them. As they approached, Gabe saw that the other
two were young women. Late teens or maybe twenty at a stretch, a
good ten years younger than their friend. Despite the conditions, the
man in white smiled broadly. ‘I was wondering if you could tell us
where we are.’
‘Love to,’ Gabe answered, shifting his arm more securely around
Kate’s shoulders. ‘But I’m a bit busy just now.’
The man’s eyes flicked to Kate, down to her obviously pregnant
stomach and then back to Gabe. ‘So I see. We need to get her to
shelter.’ ‘That’s what I was trying to do when my tractor packed in.
We were heading for town. It’s about a kilometre that way.’ Gabe
wafted an arm in the direction – he hoped – of the settlement.
The stranger squinted then nodded. It’s not far.’ He turned to his
companions. ‘Peri, Erimem. Give her a hand.’
>>63862459
What?
While his friends each took one of Kate’s arms, the tall man ushered Gabe to show
the way. ‘Probably best if you lead.’
‘Probably.’ Gabe nodded, both grateful of the help and
uncomfortable at putting Kate into strangers’ hands. ‘Who are you?
I know everybody in the colony.’
The man smiled. ‘That’s a long story.’
‘No, it isn’t,’ one of the women piped up in what sounded like an
old American accent. ‘Short story is he can’t drive his spaceship for
peanuts. I’m Peri, by the way. That’s Erimem and the lousy driver
calls himself the Doctor.’
Erimem, shorter and darker-skinned than her friend, nodded a
greeting. ‘Hello.’ But Gabe wasn’t paying attention.
‘You’re a doctor?’ he said to the newcomer.
‘Well, yes. Which way?’
‘What? Oh, over here.’ Gabe led the group over a small prow.
The sudden unexpected appearance of help had lifted him. He
wondered if it was the knowledge that he wasn’t dealing with the
situation alone or if it was because this newcomer was a doctor.
Whichever it was, he drew comfort from the gentle way the two
girls helped Kate and the confident manner the Doctor had when he
talked to his friends. The panic had faded from Kate’s eyes and he
knew that she felt the same relief that he did.
Ultimately, it took them almost twenty minutes to reach the town.
It was one street and scarcely deserved the title of town but the
relief of seeing the ugly, blocky buildings was overwhelming. Gabe
squeezed Kate’s hand. They had been forced to stop twice as pain
had doubled her over. While Peri and Erimem encouraged Kate, the
Doctor had quizzed Gabe about the planet, the colony and the
climate. Gabe was certain it was intended to divert his attention
from worrying about Kate and he accepted the distraction,
explaining the sudden cold weather and its effects on the colonists
experiencing their first winter on this world.
‘It hit two days ago and hasn’t stopped since. When it took out
the power lines we couldn’t risk staying in the cold and dark with
Kate already a week late, so we headed for town.’
The Doctor nodded absently, only half listening. ‘A-ha!’ he
stated, triumphantly pointing at one of the ugly square houses. A
tree, decorated with coloured balls, was bowing precariously under
the thick covering of snow. Another door had a wreath made of
something local that looked slightly like holly. ‘Christmas! I
promised you Christmas and snow. Here you have both.’
‘Nice try, Doctor,’ Peri said sourly. ‘But I wanted Christmas and
snow on Earth. You know, busy stores with rude shoppers, drunk Santas, guys leaving it to the last minute before they buy the wrong
thing completely, Bing Crosby singing White Christmas, It’s a
Wonderful Life on TV... snow and an alien excuse for a tree just
doesn’t cut it.’
‘There’s no pleasing some people.’ The Doctor turned to Gabe.
‘Where now?’
Gabe looked along the street and for the first time noticed that the
row of buildings had slipped into darkness at some time in the past
few minutes. The warm glow that had had shone in the windows
had gone leaving the windows looking dark and cold. The only
building still showing lights was the large, ugly grey structure that
blocked the far end of the street. A few tractors were parked
haphazardly in front of it. Clearly other homesteaders had headed
for safety as well.
‘The central power plant,’ Gabe explained to the Doctor. ‘The
power for the entire community goes through there.’
A door in one of the nearest buildings opened and two figures
wrapped in heavy coats and carrying bundles emerged. One spotted
Gabe and waved, indicating the power plant, then hurrying after her
friend.
The Doctor nodded at the women as they disappeared into the
plant. ‘Looks like everyone’s heading there.’
‘Ana and Val,’ Gabe explained. ‘If they’re leaving their house,
things must be bad.’ Kate moaned and Gabe cursed himself for not
keeping his mouth shut.
The interior of the power plant was hardly more appealing than
its exterior. It was basically a single giant chamber roughly fifteen
metres across, dominated by the generator, an enormous cylinder
three metres in diameter in the centre that stretched from the floor to
the ceiling. There were rooms set into the walls on each of the three
levels. Colonists had already taken possession of rooms and had
begun to settle in. They looked at Gabe’s party with vague interest
for a moment then went back to their own families.
‘Friendly bunch,’ Peri muttered.
Gabe ignored her. ‘Kate? Told you we’d make it, no problem.’
She managed only a slight twist of her mouth in answer.
‘This one.’ While Gabe had been looking to Kate, the Doctor had
chosen a room for them. It was towards the back of the chamber and
was large enough for all of them to gather comfortably.
Unfortunately, that was where the comfort ended. Dull metal
lockers lined the furthest wall with a small computer terminal on
another. Apart from one sad, battered old chair at the terminal, the
room was empty. The Doctor seemed to read Gabe’s thoughts on the room. ‘It’s the most private of the rooms on this level, and in
one of the open lockers –’ he reached out and plucked a blanket ‘–
fire blankets. Not exactly five-star comfort but better than a metal
floor.’
Kate sank into the solitary chair. ‘I’m past worrying about
comfort, Doctor.’
‘I’ll do it’ Peri took the blankets from the Doctor and started to
lay them on the floor.
Erimem caught her arm. ‘Wait,’ she said, before turning to Gabe.
‘You are farmers.’ He wasn’t sure if it was a question or a statement
so he just nodded. ‘So, if you are farmers, there will be straw.’
Again, Gabe nodded. ‘Well, I guess so.’
‘Straw is softer than this floor.’ When Gabe didn’t answer she
carried on, shaking her head as if he was an idiot. ‘If we make a bed
of straw then cover it with the blankets she will be more
comfortable.’
Slowly, it all clicked into place in Gabe’s weary brain. ‘Right,’ he
said. ‘I’ll get some straw.’
‘Excellent idea,’ the Doctor murmured absently, his eyes roaming
the room.
‘Doctor,’ Peri asked. ‘What is it?’
‘We’re going to need a few things,’ he said thoughtfully.
‘Like hot water and towels? They always ask for hot water and
towels in the movies.’
‘Hollywood has a great deal to answer for,’ the Doctor said,
shaking his head sadly. ‘No, I mean medical supplies and the like.’
‘Our medic’s house is just outside town,’ Gabe offered, glad to
actually be able to offer something constructive. ‘He’s out at the
edge of the colony but I’ll go and get what you need.’
‘Don’t even think about it!’ Kate hissed. Another wave of pain
cut off anything else she planned to say. She just gripped Gabe’s
hand so tight he had to make an effort not to wince.
‘Peri and I will do it,’ Erimem said firmly.
‘We will?’
‘It should not be difficult.’ Erimem pointed cheerfully out of the
door. Dozens of people had arrived in the power plant in the past
few minutes. ‘I will find someone to take me to this healer’s house
while you get the straw.’
It took a few minutes before Kate could be persuaded to let Gabe
leave her side. The Doctor had to promise that he would stay in the
room with her until Gabe returned. As he left with Peri and an
impatient Erimem, Gabe felt a terrible stab of guilt at leaving Kate
even for a short time. ‘Don’t mind Erimem,’ Peri said conspiratorially. ‘She’s used to
ruling the world. She can be a bit bossy sometimes, but she doesn’t
mean anything by it.’
‘Do I not?’ Erimem asked imperiously. ‘In my palace I would
have had your head cut off just for saying that’
Peri wrinkled her nose and stuck her tongue out at her friend.
Erimem replied by doing the same.
While Erimem disappeared to talk to a family who were crammed
into what looked like a store cupboard, Gabe led the way through a
bright yellow door and along a blank corridor which led to an
airlock door. ‘All the buildings here are made from sections of the
ship we came in,’ he explained. ‘It was all designed so we could use
it when we got here.’ ‘Makes sense,’ Peri said. ‘Why bother
bringing a house when you can travel in it?’ She laughed. ‘Actually,
the Doctor’s ship is kinda similar.’ Gabe ducked deeper into his
coat and gripped the airlock’s handle firmly. ‘Ready?’
Peri nodded and pulled up the hood of her coat.
The cold hit them hard, the wind stinging snow into their faces.
Thankfully, they only had to walk a dozen metres or so before they
came to a metal barn. A couple of chickens twitched their feathers
and a cow mooed with vague interest as they entered but the
animals quickly decided that staying warm was far more interesting
than a couple of snow-covered humans and ignored Gabe and Peri
as they collected straw. It took four trips to the barn to collect
enough straw to make a soft nest, over which Peri laid some of the
blankets. She hung another over the doorway to give extra privacy.
On their trips to the barn, they caught occasional sights of Erimem
trying to persuade weary farmers to lead her to the medic’s house.
‘She’s wasting her time,’ Gabe muttered sourly. ‘Nobody does
anything for anybody here.’
Why not? That’s dumb. You’re a small community. You have to
stick together.’
Gabe shrugged. ‘This is a rough planet to farm. Everybody works
from before dawn till after sundown. We’re too busy trying to make
our places work...’
‘To make the place work as a community,’ Peri interrupted.
‘If the crops would raise themselves, we’d have time to sit round
our camp-fires singing Kumbaya,’ Gabe snapped and immediately
he regretted it. ‘Sorry, I shouldn’t have been so sharp. I’m tired, I’m
worried about Kate, the baby...’
‘Nah, forget it,’ Peri snorted. ‘Being shouted at is a quiet day for
me.’
‘I think your friend’s about to be shouted at,’ Gabe said quietly. Across the chamber, Erimem had approached a tall man who was
certainly the fattest person in the chamber. ‘Walter Cantrell. When
we landed here, everybody got equal shares of land in the valley.
He’s already got five times as much as he started with.’
‘How?’
‘The usual. Shady trading, bribes, loans. There’s talk that he
poisoned the Jacksons’ herd so that he could sell them some of his
cattle in exchange for part of their land. And then there’s just good
old-fashioned theft.’ Gabe grimaced. ‘We travelled for 18 months to
get here and the first thing we imported was corruption.’
‘And nobody does anything about this Cantrell because he’s got
this land?’
Gabe nodded. ‘The water for half the valley comes through land
he owns now. Anybody crosses him, he’ll stop their water. Add to
that, a lot of the people he cheated now have to work for him to
make ends meet.’
‘Where’s John Wayne when you need him?’ Peri asked sourly.
‘Who?’
‘You’ve never heard of John Wayne? If you people have
forgotten about Westerns you deserve all you get.’ She cut off.
‘Never mind.’ There was something in the set of Erimem’s face that
said she had heard about Walter Cantrell and she didn’t like what
she had heard. ‘She’s going to cause trouble.’
They couldn’t hear the beginning of Erimem’s conversation. She
tried to talk with Cantrell’s men but Cantrell kept interrupting and
putting himself between Erimem and the men.
‘That’s not going to be good,’ Peri muttered.
A moment later Erimem’s voice was heard clear and crisp
through the chamber. ‘Do you know where the healer’s house is or
not?’
Cantrell’s laugh was equally clear. ‘Sure I do. It’s the one with
the white roof. You can’t miss it.’
‘You will show me where it is.’
‘Go out? In that snow?’
‘Yes.’
Cantrell snorted. ‘Not on your life. I’m not risking my life for
some kid that’s nothing to do with me.’
‘Are you just selfish or a coward?’
‘Watch your mouth, girl.’
‘Why? What will you do? Steal my land? I have none here to
take.’
‘You’re making a big mistake.’
‘Do you threaten me? I have seen a hundred times worse than you. I have faced worse than you in battle and left them drowning in
their own blood.’ Erimem took a step towards Cantrell. ‘You are a
thief, a bandit and a coward.’ She took another step forward and this
time Cantrell actually took a half-step backwards. He stood a head
taller than Erimem but she was talking down to him and he clearly
didn’t like it. ‘You have your land and your possessions but you are
worthless. You look to lead this community but you have nothing in
your spirit to make you worthy of leading anyone. When you lead,
your task is to serve the needs of others, not yourself.’ Erimem’s
face was flushed as she turned to the people who had gathered to
watch. ‘The rest of you, take your land back. If the law allows him
to steal from you then it is a bad law. Replace it with a good one.’

A tired-looking farmer shook his head. ‘We can’t do that. The
council would never agree to it.’
‘Then replace them with a council who will!’ Erimem sounded
exasperated. ‘The Doctor said you choose your leaders, so choose
better ones!’
‘Oh, God,’ Gabe grumbled. ‘She’s a politician.’
Peri smiled sweetly. ‘Actually she’s a Pharaoh from ancient
Egypt who travels in a time machine.’
‘What?’
‘Or maybe I made that up. You decide.’
Erimem’s speech seemed to be garnering some interest in the
little crowd. Two women in their thirties were leading a discussion.
‘It would take an emergency vote – but if we get enough people to
agree to it...’
‘Now,’ Erimem said loudly. ‘Will someone take us to this
healer’s house?’
One of the women who had been talking about the council moved
towards Erimem. ‘I’ll show you. I’m Val.’
‘I’ll come with you.’ A tall, thin man in his mid twenties stepped
out from the ranks of Cantrell’s workers. ‘What you need might be
heavy.’ He turned to a gangly, freckled man of roughly the same
age with sandy hair. ‘Archie?’
Archie looked at Cantrell and then at his friend, Val and Erimem.
‘All right. You’d just get lost if I let you go out on your own.’
By the time Erimem’s party left for the medic’s house, its number
had risen to six. Another of Cantrell’s men had offered himself and
two others had slipped away to join their families, leaving Cantrell
alone and looking much smaller than before.
‘How did she do that?’ Gabe muttered. ‘If she stayed here a week
she’d rule the place.’
‘Must be something to do with the living-god thing,’ Peri said thoughtfully. ‘Either that or she just keeps talking until people
agree. And she’s done with ruling the world. Tried it; didn’t like it.’
Gabe followed Peri, not sure if she was serious or if he was the
butt of some joke he wasn’t getting. In truth, there was a lot about
the Doctor and his friends that Gabe didn’t get and he wondered if it
was something unusual about them or if life on this planet had
changed him. He hurried after Peri. They found the Doctor leading
Kate through breathing exercises. He was now wearing a pair of
half-moon spectacles, which made him look reassuringly like an
old-time country doctor.
‘About time,’ the Doctor said, glancing at them over the top of
his spectacles. ‘Put the straw down and put the blankets over it,
Peri. It won’t be long now.’
‘Her labour’s started?’ Gabe asked.
Kate managed a short laugh. ‘Not exactly,’ she said between
breaths. She nodded at her trousers which now had a spreading dark
stain. ‘But my waters broke.’
While Gabe helped Kate get comfortable on the makeshift bed of
straw, the Doctor and Peri spoke quietly.
‘Now would be a good time for the hot water and towels, Peri.’
‘But you said –’
‘I said Hollywood had a lot to answer for. I didn’t say I wouldn’t
need them.’
‘You can be really annoying at times, you know that?’
‘Oh, yes.’ The Doctor sounded quite cheerful.
‘When was the last time you delivered a baby?’ Peri asked. ‘You
have delivered one, I mean.’
‘Ummm...’ the Doctor said thoughtfully. ‘Eighteen-sixty-five.
But I do know what I’m doing.’
‘You’re the doctor, Doctor.’
The Doctor just grinned and Gabe wondered how he could be so
relaxed. There was something about the Doctor and his friends that
seemed both completely at ease in the colony but also totally out of
place. Maybe it was the flippant way they talked. Or maybe, Gabe
mused, Peri was right. He and all the other colonists had become
too insular. Too obsessed with what was happening on their own
homesteads to pay attention to the colony as a whole. That hadn’t
been what they had talked about on the 18-month journey to this
planet. They had made such grand plans. So why had it taken three
strangers to save Kate from giving birth outside in a blizzard?
Peri arrived back with an armful of worn-looking towels and a
large metal pitcher of warm water that she had scavenged from what
she insisted was the most disgusting little kitchen she had ever seen. A few minutes later, Erimem and her party returned. They were
painted white from the storm but she triumphantly handed a bag of
medical supplies to the Doctor.
Kate drifted slowly into a peaceful doze and the night wore on.
More people arrived from the outer habitats. A few came with
livestock in tow, refusing to abandon their animals to the
conditions. At Erimem’s suggestion, Walter Cantrell was evicted
from his chosen room so that two horses and a cow could be put in
there instead. Cantrell had objected but he had been shouted down.
People he had isolated, bullied and frightened over the previous
year now sat and talked. For the first time since the ship landed,
virtually the entire population was gathered and they were talking.
Some of the colonists had brought torches and lamps to see their
way through the blizzard. Peri eyed the lights thoughtfully and then
looked at the central power core which still glowed a dull green.
She disappeared into the crowd with Erimem and a few moments
later they were collecting the lamps. The Doctor shrugged in
response to Gabe’s puzzled expression.
They watched the girls
moving around the power core, encouraging people to hang their
lamps and lanterns from it. It took a while before the effect became
apparent but as more people saw what was happening, they moved
to join in, hanging lights, pieces of metal or anything they could
find that was brightly coloured. Peri returned to the Doctor looking
suitably pleased with herself.
‘Do not ask me,’ Erimem said. ‘I have no idea what we just did.’
Peri glowered at her friend. ‘Christmas isn’t Christmas without a
tree and, okay, so that’s not exactly a tree but it isn’t bad.’ She
looked proudly at the core. The flashes of bright emerald shooting
through the darker green caught the lights and reflected off the
pieces of metal sending wildly coloured reflections around the
chamber. ‘It’s more like a melted glitter ball than a Christmas tree,
isn’t it?’ Peri asked ruefully.
The Doctor smiled a wistful smile and suddenly looked far older
than he had seemed. Gabe wondered what he could be thinking
about to bring about such a change but then the mood passed and
the Doctor beamed at Peri. ‘It’s splendid. And it’s distracted the
people from the blizzard.’
‘It has, hasn’t it?’ Peri was delighted.
‘I must take you back to London during the War,’ the Doctor said
thoughtfully. ‘You’d be a star in the shelters during the Blitz.’
‘Let me think about that for a minute,’ Peri said quickly. ‘No. No,
thanks.’ Her lips pursed thoughtfully. ‘Something’s missing... we
have the snow, we have the tree – kind of, but we’re missing...’
She beamed suddenly. ‘Carols.’ She grabbed Erimem’s wrist and hauled
her back to the crowd.
‘When they’re like this I find it best to just leave them to it,’ the
Doctor explained. After a few moments they heard Peri’s voice
singing softly.
‘Silent night, holy night.’
Other voices joined Peri’s, singing softly enough that they
wouldn’t waken Kate.
‘Christmas is out of fashion back on Earth,’ Gabe said quietly.
‘Not many people still celebrate it. Too many problems for people
to think about celebrating anything.’
‘Perhaps surviving those problems is worth celebrating in itself,’
the Doctor answered. They heard a moan from inside the room.
‘Back to work.’
Kate’s labour progressed quickly. Her contractions moved closer
far more quickly than she had feared. A protracted labour was
something Gabe knew she dreaded. For some reason, she found the
carol singing helped her relax and, when the singing began to die
down, the Doctor sent Gabe to encourage the singers to continue.
On the way, people he hadn’t seen in months stopped Gabe to wish
him well or send their love to Kate. He passed each message to Kate
and they both drew strength from the unexpected affection being
shown by their fellow colonists.
‘You’re doing fine,’ the Doctor assured them. ‘It won’t be long
now.’ Half an hour later, the Doctor sent Gabe out again, this time
to fetch Peri and Erimem. They returned, arguing quietly. ‘It’s just a
song,’ Peri was saying.
‘I know,’ Erimem protested. ‘All I am saying is that Wenceslas is
a very silly name for a king.’
Peri looked to the Doctor. ‘Gabe said Kate was close to time. I
guess it’s going to get ooky now.’
‘Ooky?’
‘You know,’ Peri explained. ‘Ooky. Icky.’
Erimem stared blankly at her friend. ‘There are times I do not
understand a word you say, Peri.’
‘Neither do I,’ the Doctor smiled cheerfully. ‘In answer to what I
think was your question, yes, Kate is very close to time. Just
reassure her that everything’s going to be fine.’
‘You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?’ Peri asked.
‘I beg your pardon?’
‘Don’t play innocent, Doctor. You’re enjoying this. There are no
shape-shifting silver robots, no green Martians, no ancient evils
from the dawn of time. It’s just you being a doctor for once and I think you like it.’
‘Perhaps,’ the Doctor smirked. ‘And perhaps it’s balance. We
spend so much of our time dealing with the darker side of the
universe. Maybe we need to see the lighter side as well. Birth
instead of death.’
‘That’s very profound for this time of night.’
‘Isn’t it?’ the Doctor agreed.
Kate squeezed Gabe’s hand hard and gasped as a contraction hit
her. ‘Doctor,’ Gabe called. He had been listening to the Doctor’s
conversations with interest but the contraction focused his mind
again.
Instantly, the Doctor’s whimsical mood vanished and he was
kneeling beside Kate. ‘Not long now.’
Kate’s labour lasted a further two and a half hours until just after
one on Christmas morning, when the planet Alpha One heard a
baby cry for the very first time. After examining both mother and
infant, the Doctor pronounced them both absolutely fine. The
colonists gathered in the plant breathed a collective sigh of relief.
The tension had built in the atmosphere as the night had worn on
without word on Kate’s condition. When word passed round the
chamber, clapping and cheers broke out and someone began singing
The First Noel.
An hour after the baby was born, Ana and Val were the first in
what would be a long line of visitors to see the first baby born on
this new world. Val handed a brightly coloured blanket to Kate.
‘We usually have this on our bed but your little one could probably
use it more.’
More colonists followed, each bringing a small gift for the
newborn. In the hours since arriving in the plant, the matronly Cath
Drake had managed to knit a jolly-looking teddy bear with a
slightly wonky mouth, while Jacob Poison turned one of his
cleanest socks into a dainty little hat. Two of the men who had
abandoned Walter Cantrell earlier brought in a broad feeding trough
they had liberated from a nearby barn and cleaned up. With straw
and a blanket added, it made a perfectly serviceable crib. Nobody
stayed long but everybody wanted to see the baby. Gabe was
interested to see that the people weren’t visiting in the family units
they had retreated into over the past year. They came as groups of
friends. Friendships born on the spaceship but pushed aside as the
colonists battled their new home were being remembered.
The Doctor had noticed it too. ‘It would be a shame if this
community spirit melted away with the snow,’ he said quietly to
Gabe. Gabe nodded thoughtfully. He had scarcely taken his eyes from
the infant since she had been born. Her mother’s mouth but
definitely his nose, the poor mite. ‘We should have a naming
celebration for her.’
‘Excellent idea,’ the Doctor agreed. ‘And might I suggest a
considerable number of other celebrations?’
‘Is that a prescription, Doctor?’ Gabe asked, tickling his
daughter’s chin gently.
The Doctor grinned. ‘A celebration to be held at least once every
month. Other public meetings at least once a week. Keep the people
meeting and keep them talking, that’s the ticket. Work together. It’s
much easier than trying to do it all alone.’
Gabe nodded. He suddenly felt the exhaustion he had been
pushing against for hours. He lay down beside Kate and she
snuggled against his shoulder. When he woke a few hours later, Dr
Leishman, the colony’s medic was looking down at him.
‘What on earth’s been going on here?’
‘The Doctor can explain.’ Gabe looked around but there was no
sign of Peri, Erimem or the Doctor. They had gone as suddenly as
they had arrived.
Outside, the snow was still falling heavily as the Doctor and his
companions headed back to the TARDIS.
‘But why did we have to leave?’ Erimem demanded, struggling to
keep up with the Doctor.
‘We’ve done all we can here,’ the Doctor said briskly. ‘Their own
doctor had arrived. And I found out where and when we are so we
can move on.
‘Move on to the Christmas you promised me.’ Peri hurried to
keep pace with the Doctor. ‘I promised to show Erimem a real
Christmas, so Earth, twentieth century, snow and lots of stores.’
‘Real Christmas?’ The Doctor sounded bemused. ‘You’ve just
had snow, a tree, carols and a baby born almost in a stable. How
much more Christmassy do you want?’
‘I just want...’ Peri stopped, a little embarrassed. ‘I just want a
Christmas like I had when I was a kid. You know. Warm and fun
and safe with the people you want to be with.’
The Doctor stopped, surprised. ‘I hadn’t expected quite such a
sentimental reason.’ There was no condemnation in his voice but
Peri squirmed a little anyway.
‘If you can’t be sentimental at Christmas, when can you be?
Besides –’ she looked off into the snow at the white-covered houses
and trees ‘– everybody can do with being a little sentimental
sometimes.’
A look Peri couldn’t begin to decipher flitted across the Doctor’s
face and was then gone as he strode off for the TARDIS. ‘As you
wish.’ The Doctor stopped in front of the police box and took his
bearings for a moment before heading to a nearby tree. He
rummaged in the snow at the foot of the tree before fishing out a
black box about the size of a large paperback. He brushed it free of
snow then flipped a switch and dropped it into his pocket. Four
inquisitive eyes looked at him expectantly. ‘What?’ ‘And I guess
you’ll be explaining that box right now?’ Peri asked.
‘That?’ The Doctor answered innocently. ‘Oh, that’s nothing.’
‘Oh, that’s okay, then, let’s forget it.’ Peri’s stared at the Doctor
sourly. ‘Better yet, you could explain it.’
‘Really, it’s nothing.’
Peri snorted. ‘It may be Christmas but we’re not buying that
baloney.’
‘It’s nothing,’ the Doctor flustered. ‘Nothing at all.’
‘So why won’t you explain it?’ Erimem asked reasonably.
‘Well, it’s, well...’ The Doctor’s shoulders slumped. ‘You’re
going to nag me until I do tell you, aren’t you?’
‘Yes, she is,’ Erimem said sweetly. ‘And so am I.’
‘He’s up to something,’ Peri said.
Erimem nodded. ‘I know. You can see it in his face.’
Peri looked up. The snow had almost stopped and the clouds were
beginning to break. ‘The change in weather wouldn’t have anything
to do with that box, would it?’
‘Oh, all right,’ the Doctor conceded. ‘This cloak-and-dagger stuff
was never my strong suit. But if the Time Lords ask, we were never
here, all right?’
‘If you say so,’ Peri agreed quickly. Now spill the beans.’
‘Yes,’ Erimem noted the phrase for future use. ‘Spill the beans.’
The Doctor fished in his pocket for the TARDIS key. ‘Oh, very
well,’ he conceded. ‘Let me tell you a story for Christmas. You
can’t get much more traditional than that. Once upon a time some
colonists moved to a planet and they worked hard. Over the space
of some years, the planet prospered and the colony grew.’ The
Doctor stopped and looked to the sky. Patches of blue were
beginning to show through the breaking cloud. ‘Now, this planet
was important. Of course the colonists didn’t know that. How could
they? You see, a war was coming. A bad one. A terrible war, and
this world was a nexus. The war would hinge on whether this planet
was run by people serving themselves or by good people prepared
to protect their community and the other worlds around them.’
‘This making any sense to you, Erimem?’ ‘No.’
‘Good. Glad it’s not just me.’
The Doctor shuffled his feet uncomfortably in the snow. ‘There’s
nothing like a baby being born to bring a community together.’ The
lights in the windows of the houses in town flickered into life and a
shaft of weak sunlight appeared through the clouds. ‘As long as
they were gathered in the one place, everything would be fine. And
so, well, if someone arranged for the weather to be terrible and for
the baby to be born in the middle of it... and for the right people to
be here to help them on their way.’ He stopped sheepishly. ‘I did
say this cloak-and-dagger stuff really wasn’t me at all.’
‘So you arranged it all?’ Peri glanced at the sky. Only a few
wispy clouds remained. ‘Even the storm.’
‘Just making sure history stays on course,’ the Doctor replied.
‘Unless my people ask. They get very touchy about this kind of
thing. If they found out what I’ve just done, I’d be on trial again in
no time. Once they’ve spent a century or two discussing it in
committees of course.’
‘You saved the universe by delivering a baby?’ Peri interrupted.
‘So it would seem, Peri.’
Peri shrugged. ‘Just one thing, Doctor...’
‘Yes?’
A snowball slammed against the Doctor’s shoulder. ‘Merry
Christmas!

BBC doesn't decide canon but no material can be canon unless it's part of the official doctor who branding which inherently is authorised by the BBC
There is BBC authorised material that is non canon (comics, audios, books unless explicitly mentioned in the show) but no canon material is unauthorised
Is it pretty much confirmed that these latest seasons have been somewhat of the worst seasons but Capaldi is one of the best Doctors?

can someone of you tell me what the coolest christmas present for a dr who fan would be?
i know next to nothing about the show but i need a christmas present for my brother.
>>63856804
Because it's so easy to classify writers into categories like "shit or not," and to have companions so solidly imagined from the ground up that they can never, never had a bad moment? This is the worst sort of arm chair general-ing.
>>63870640
Paul would demand more money than random up-and-coming 20ish skirt.
>>63870696
Do you happen to know what his favorite Doctor is (actor name or description works, too)? That would go a long way in helping us advise you. Doctor Who is expansive and fan's specific tastes vary. Also, how old is your brother?
>>63870696
Honestly? Don't do a Doctor Who gift. Unless it's some sort of gift card.
Getting present related to something you love usualy awkward and let down.
But on your brothers' behalf I appreciate the kindness and thought you're showing.
>>63870775
Would he? All the interviews I've seen with him seem to give the impression he'd go back to the show if they simply asked nicely. He seems to genuinely love the role.
>>63870824
This is pretty good advice. I used to work in a comic book shop and fielded this question a lot, and a store-issued gift certificate was always the best option.
>>63870797
i think its the one on the right in this pic, but he's a fan of the franchise as a whole honestly.
he's 30 but nerdy merchandise is still cool
>>63870824
I think it's possible to narrow down a good gift that wouldn't be disappointing. You just have to find overlapping interests. For example, let's say he loved one particular Doctor and also likes reading books. Find an age appropriate book starring that Doctor which is a particularly good story and that would be a great gift. It takes more work and thought, but it can be done. The trick is not to just go with "Doctor Who," but to go with "Doctor Who + Interest A + Interest B" to get a specific gift that covers multiple bases of interest.
>>63871001
Oh, buying for a 30 year old is tough. You actually might be best off with a gift card of some kind. Maybe someone more clever than me can come up with something, though, so stick around if you like.
>>63871067
sure. i just thought dr who is a big franchise with all kinds of cool trinkets and stuff that a fan would like.
If I were to go hog-wild, pie in the sky with it, I'd love Series 5 on Blu-Ray. And A Christmas Carol.
If that were the only physical media I owned of Who, I would feel justified.
>>63871156
Depends what your budget is mate. Best suggestion I have is this, but it's pretty costly at £99/whatever the equivalent is in your currency
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Sonic-Screwdriver-Universal/dp/B008MYVNXO
>>63871525
scratch that, you may be able to get it from here for considerably cheaper
>>63870696
You can never go wrong with a "TARDIS" related item, like a coffee mug or something like that. The FunkoPop! Dalek was very popular this year on /who/'s secret santa. Got one for myself and I'm older than your brother.
>>63866008
But C'rizz was bro tier.
>"When quizzed about the new companion, Steven Moffat replied, "Different. Very, very different. Something like this has never been done before in the show, simply because it hasn't been possible in the past. It's hugely exciting, but it's also equally as terrifying! Three things were going through my mind when I came up with the idea. Do we actually have the budget to do this? Who is it going to be? And which country do I flee to if it doesn't work?"."
