I love how the Doctor tells Romana to change out of "his" clothes so she replaces the tan jacket with a nearly identical pink one and the scarf with a white one so she's practically still dressed like him.

doctor who meme | nine scenes [3/9]

↳ “You’ve been in that skin suit too long. You’ve forgotten. There used to be a real Margaret Blaine. You killed her and stripped her and used the skin. You’re pleading for mercy out of a dead woman’s lips.”

A while back, I reached the conclusion that the majority of canon evidence points to the Doctor having been a Gallifreyan lawyer. Every time I remember this it unsettles me again.

#i LOVE this #such a perfect theory im accepting it as canon right now immediately #text #classic #gallifrey #time lords

A brief guide to the audio adventures of the Sixth Doctor, and his companion, Dr. Evelyn Smythe.

Big Finish likes its complicated storylines - and one of the largest ones yet involves the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors, an agency called the Forge, and a very scary Word Lord. Since many companions and timelines get all tangled up in this arc, here’s a comprehensive breakdown of what audios to listen to, roughly in chronological order.

Unskippable key episodes are marked in bold!

The Sixth Doctor starts off his first long story arc when he meets his companion Evelyn. Their first episodes together are:

6. The Marian Conspiracy (unskippable)

9. The Spectre of Lanyon Moor

11. The Apocalypse Element

22. Bloodtide

23. Project: Twilight (unskippable)

37. The Sandman

40. Jubilee

43. Doctor Who and the Pirates

Around this time in their travels, they also appear in a trilogy of episodes written by Robert Ross - although these can easily be skipped:

60. Medicinal Purposes

78. Pier Pressure

108. Assassin in the Limelight

Following this, Six exchanges his multicoloured coat for a blue one, and the first part of Evelyn’s story arc comes to a fantastic close in:

I. Real Time

Project: Valhalla

45. Project: Lazarus (unskippable)

57. Arrangements For War (unskippable)

Meanwhile, the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa meet a Dickensian little git named Brewster, who has a number of adventures with and without them:

107. The Haunting of Thomas Brewster

The Three Companions

110. The Boy That Time Forgot

113. Time Reef / A Perfect World

The Boy That Time Forgot is a direct sequel to the TV series episode Earthshock.

A while later, the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn encounter Brewster in a trilogy of stories:

143. The Crimes of Thomas Brewster

144. The Feast of Axos

145. Industrial Evolution

The Crimes of Thomas Brewster also introduces companion Flip Jackson, and includes almost-companion Patricia Menzies, who had previously (from her perspective) had two adventures with the Sixth Doctor and his later companion Charley Pollard: The Condemned and The Raincloud Man.

Meanwhile in the future, the Seventh Doctor and Ace meet a young nurse named Thomas Hector Schofield, a.k.a. Hex:

58. The Harvest (unskippable)

67. Dreamtime

74. LIVE 34

79. Night Thoughts

The Veiled Leopard (available for free!)

82. The Settling

The Harvest, although standalone, is also one third of a cyclical Big Finish trilogy together with The Reaping and The Gathering. This trilogy follows the audio Spare Parts, and The Reaping is a sequel to the TV series episode Planet Of Fire.

The Veiled Leopard, released as a special, takes place during The Gathering and also includes Fifth Doctor companion Erimem, who is introduced in The Eye Of The Scorpion.

The Sixth Doctor and Evelyn have several more adventures together:

84. The Nowhere Place

100. 100

CC 5.05. A Town Called Fortune

Eventually, their story arc reaches a second climax with:

73. Thicker than Water (unskippable)

This last audio is also a key story episode for Hex.

Speaking of Hex, he travels on with Ace and the Seventh Doctor, in:

89. No Man’s Land

92. Nocturne

106. The Dark Husband

115. Forty Five (unskippable)

120. The Magic Mousetrap

121. Enemy of the Daleks (unskippable)

122. The Angel of Scutari (unskippable)

139. Project: Destiny (unskippable)

Forty Five introduces a very important new character, and is also a side story of sorts to the TV series episode The Curse Of Fenric.

Project: Destiny, the last story in this arc, also introduces companion Captain Lysandra Aristedes to the audios. Lysandra had previously appeared in the novel Project: Valhalla.

Directly following Project: Destiny, the story of Evelyn and Hex comes to a close in:

140. A Death In The Family (unskippable)

And that’s all! From this point on, the Seventh Doctor’s story continues with Ace, Hex and Lysandra, starting with Lurkers At Sunlight’s Edge.

Be sure to check out TV Tropes for recaps, and the Doctor Who reference guide for detailed summaries.

Have fun!

i am obsessed with rory williams slightly bc he is the only companion to react to things in a normal way. the doctors like ‘i am a war criminal…..i am so lonely and so sad…..’ and everyone including me is like ‘oh baby its ok you did what you had to do im so sorry’ and rory’s just standing there like ‘are we gonna skip over the war criminal part or’

#YES #i never really liked 11s era but rory was always my favorite #text #rory williams

broke: characterising the first doctor as an old man woke: characterising the first doctor as a troublemaker bespoke: characterising the first doctor as a rebellious teen

the fact that 12 hand picked bill potts out of that entire university to be his friend tells me one thing and one thing only, which is that the doctor’s companions being a bunch of gay people is entirely intentional on their part

He thought you were brilliant. It just took the Doctor to show you that, simply by being with him. He did the same to me.

i think fundamentally doctor who is about thousands of writers coming up with a different version of the doctor in their head and attempting to make them all coexist as part of a single individual

#literally!! this is literally what the show is!!#text
