I Make Comic Issues; I Have Gender Issues.

Regularly described as being like a fan favourite sitcom character. Still not sure if that's a compliment.

Autistic — I talk about Doctor Who like, way too much.

(Very left wing. Very.)

Em-Dash Advocate.

The Thing from Another World (1951)

This is *all* about tone.

A base under siege story about a group of people who find a flying saucer in Arctic ice; The Thing from Another World has all the makings for a Second Doctor Doctor Who story, except the Doctor doesn't show up.

1 - William Hartnell

This Sporting Life (1963)

This recommendation isn't so much about tone, but instead about showing William Hartnell's range. 'This Sporting Life' is one of the films made during the British New Wave & follows the 'grim up north' kitchen sink approach a lot of those films did.

Hypnosis is about influencing the mind though, and you're more likely to be able to influence the mind of someone if that influence is actively beneficial to them.

Except a few times like the 4th Doctor and 12th Doctor, he usually needs an external device to do it though, other Time Lords don’t

Being a more Northern Doctor, I reckon she would have instead went for the age old ‘you’re a cunt’.

I do too. Personally, I use the one The TARDIS Wiki recommends in its forking announcement since it also works for other fandom/indie wikis without needing to do much setup. (getindie.wiki)

I just realised Edward Jenner wouldn't know what autism is.

Jenner: Autism? What's that?

The Doctor: It's the ability to memorise even the most convoluted and insane Doctor Who lore. Elder Gods, Faction Paradox, Looms. Everything.

Jenner: God. What have I done?

Actually, that’s just how Brian Epstein pronounced his name. Nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.

Which probably explains why it looks, to my eyes at least, like Wanda is about to reject him by way of whackin’ him with a big green gem.

Multi-Laurence Olivier Awards nominee Hayley Atwell was also in a surprising amount of Big Finish audios.
