[@TheDoctor2007]

Cool thanks for the fun fact :)

I remember we had a lesson at my school where we all got in groups to send in entries for this competition actually, I think it was just that you had to make the doctor meet a historical figure

The kid who wrote this actually really understands the Doctor’s character. They wrote him really well. And I love how the doctor and Albert Einstein talk to each other like they were old Frenemies. This minisode is great it’s not a big giant adventure, it’s just Thursday for the Doctor.

[@coolbionicle]

I love the fact that they talk almost as if they were on equal ground intellectually.

[@logicallyblue3814]

Is this just a regular occurrence? Like, little odd things like this will just happen on a regular basis when the Doctor isn't actively travelling. I like to think so

[@Trazynn]

Most impressive about this is that it's actually a coherent story. It doesn't go into all kinds of wild detours. Just Einstein trying to build his own time-machine, apparently failing pathetically but then failing in a spectacular and impressive way. Clever.

[@librarian66]

That was terrific and I wish there had been a full episode with the Doctor and Einstein.

[@bluesakura007]

This gets even cooler when you find out that Matt once wrote fanfiction of the Doctor meeting Einstein after he’d recently been chosen to play Eleven and had watched some pre-existing episodes.

[@MasterArchfiend]

I'm curious as to how old the kids who wrote this were at the time. It's actually quite good for a short and doesn't feel forced or out of place for the show which can be hard to do. Fanfiction is either fantastic or terrible and this falls on the former end for me. I'd love to see more official fan written shorts for a lot of series that I like.
