As we enjoy the return of Christmas specials on TV, let’s take a moment to remember Doctor Who’s first- 1965’s “A Christmas Story”, from the pages of TV Comic
If the Doctor can’t drive cars, then I have many questions about the entirety of the Third Doctor era
Rewatching Spyfall (no, I am not rewatching Doctor Who in order, because that's not the way the brain rots) and somehow the most unrealistic part of this plot was the moment the Doctor drove off after the whole car-assassination thing and it got me thinking:
The Doctor breaking Ace’s faith in him in The Curse of Fenric is often used as *the* example of 7’s character, but the next scene is even more important. The way he’s genuinely distraught by his actions yet considers them necessary is at the core of what makes him interesting.
Doctor Who gets a somewhat bigger budget than usual for a feature length story and suddenly gets very interested in having motorbikes drive into the TARDIS
Maybe an allusion to Clara’s diner TARDIS in Hell Bent?
There’s been plenty of discussion over all the lovely Tales of the TARDIS photos we’ve been seeing, and I’m really impressed by how well they capture the warm, fuzzy feelings the series has been so good at giving its vieiwers

I find it interesting how the NuWho Sontaran design puts so much stock in the Third Doctor’s description of them as “nasty, brutish, and short” given how preceding media was far from consistent on caring about that third adjective
Leela’s almost supernatural instinct for danger is a very unique and interesting aspect to her character- it should feel almost out of place in the world of Doctor Who, but somehow never quite does for me
The First Doctor’s charismatic presence improves a lot of bad stories, so reducing him to a voiceless, disembodied hand for a large part of The Celestial Toymaker is a major knock against a very shaky story
