Does that mean the plunger is technically a bootstrap paradox?

[@thejoeyouknow-m5r]

Fun fact: Russell T Davies had originally written for a younger pre-Genesis Davros to be seen in Journey's End through flashbacks, but had to cut it from later drafts of the script due to an overlong runtime and to cut the budget. Nice to see Julian Bleach finally play out a scene as Kaled Davros!

[@bearnaff9387]

I am a bit confused. I was under the impression that Davros was very much already blind and borged out when he started the Travelling Machine project. I mean, Timey-Wimey is as Timey-Wimey does, and he's every inch Davros in spats as he is in a Hoveround, but I feel like the Doctor would evert himself in surprise if he realized Davros made it that far into his timeline able to handle stairs. I bet the Mark III has lift technology to deal with stairs since Davros probably still uses the things.

[@Simon-xc5oy]

Thats a point actually. In Genesis he is in the chair. And his early Daleks are based on the chairs design. Hence all the kids in our infants school when Genesis was first broadcast thought that Davros was what was inside a Dalek and someone had taken the top part off. It took me ages to convince them it was a man, and he was the designer of the Daleks and the Daleks were what the race of men would become. Yes I was so into Doctor Who even at five years old. Maybe ol Davros was designing away and coming up with this...then he gets splattered in the rocket attack and builds his chair and life support and then continues with the work till Doctor 4 shows up to put a spanner in the works....and dynamite in the mutant lab....

[@kimchi_b]

@@Simon-xc5oy No, this is the new Davros now...RTD doesn't want a disabled evil mastermind :(

[@saagabragi6938]

​@@kimchi_b This is a time travel show, people. It takes place before Davros became disabled. Events are constantly getting scuffled around in this show's timeline, i don't think the TV show itself ever says Davros DIDN'T start the dalek project before his accident, and the lore has never been consistent anyway.

[@spencers5898]

[@wafflingmean4477]

The idea of making it so the toilet plunger hand was always kind of an accident is such a genius way to address how ridiculous it is, and also brace an audience for a potential change to something more menacing and practical, while still retaining most of the Dalek's overall silhouette.

[@tikimillie]

Excuse you but do you not remember what it can do? The sucking to death? The snatching of memories. I think its perfect the way it is. Plus, nothing wrong with a comical little feature.

[@Olive-cx2jw]

I don’t think they will change it, nor that they should, it’s far too iconic now. But also, it’s always been kind of an accident in real life too! It WAS supposed to be a claw with which the Daleks could grab stuff, in the original design. Except they couldn’t do it, by lack of means and time, and so they plugged a plunger in the Dalek as a last minute resort and called it a day. And then it became legendary. Like, this episode is just an in-universe reenactment of the real life story and it’s BRILLIANT!!

The doctor Donna. The most Iconic duo. And then they'll be gone.... And I've watched all of Sex Education and I just don't see Ncuti Gatwa being a good doctor....But maybe he'll surprise. Tenant and Smith are real character actors. They MAKE the role their own and bring a real personality to it. You can see it too with David in Good omens and Matt in the House of the Dragon. They MADE the role. Doctor who was amazing because of those two being so good and having such long runs. So we'll get the good doctor back for a few episodes and then it'll likely be trash again that fades from my memory instead of episodes I desperately crave seeing every week and monologues I can't help but memorize and constantly quote and feel a rush of adrenaline and power every time.

It is interesting now that we are in a post-13 era, we can now look back more objectively on her personality, persona, etc, and can now say how future doctors are influenced by her, rather than simply saying she is a copy of 10 and 11. I binge watched the 3 seasons, so time crunched a bit for me and I didn't notice these changes as drastically as if I had watched the 13th doctor live, but she really came into her own character and it is actually quite a cool character! I wasn't a fan of Jodie's over-animating of the doctor's mannerisms (sonic screwdriver for example) in the first season, but the actress found her stride and I love the 13th doctor's personality now! I do wonder if maybe the writing is better than we give it credit for and will only find out as time progresses, but regardless of the writing and everything else, the 13th doctor herself was a great doctor. Excited to see the 14th doctor's mixture of 10 and 13! (and experiences from between)

Yes. Pretty stupid of him to leave in the first place. He was still very young and should have done a couple more full seasons. He had plenty of time to do other roles still. Its not like he has had worldwide success since. He went to America and his tv show failed there (Rex is not my Lawyer) and his film remake of Fright Night did not do well either. He ended up back here doing more kitchen sink dramas like that one where he played a serial killer and then his role as that demon in Good Omens, which he played EXACTLY like Doctor Who with the same accent and manner and even some of the lines and phrases he used! Still he is a huge fan of the show and always gives 110% unlike Whitaker that hated the classic era and had nothing but contempt and ignorance for it. She just turned up said the lines and went home and it showed onscreen. Worst performance as the Doctor I have ever seen in the worst era of the show with the lowest ratings and popularity of the 2005 - era....it says a lot.

[@bluevortexpng1211]

@@Simon-xc5oy bruh lmao david tennant is a critically acclaimed tv and stage actor (outside of doctor who and good omens he's most known for jessica jones and broadchurch) and is one of the most well known british actors today??? one cancelled tv show and a mid movie (which frankly, he stole the show there as just a side character) is nothing when you look at the rest of his filmography. and tbh i think you need to watch good omens again if you think he played crowley even remotely similar to the tenth doctor, his physicality and attitude and tone of voice are completely different (if you want a comparison, watch the clip of crowley in the burning bookshop and compare it to the doctor watching the master die in his arms. similar element of "losing your centuries-old close friend", but they're completely different characters and performances). he left doctor who at a really good time with RTD and i would take his three seasons of quality over it being drawn-out and extended past its time. i can't say anything about whittaker, since i've never watched her seasons past a few clips, but even in this 5-minute special i recognized tennant reflecting some of her doctor's mannerisms. clearly the two actors are friends and have a ton of respect for each other and their work.

[@Simon-xc5oy]

I agree with some of this. But Tennant did leave too early in my view. He wanted to break America and get bigger roles and as an actor I cant blame him for that. But it never took off for him there as he wanted, not because he was bad, it just never happened. He has been in a lot of other things since, but did not get the big American break. Neither did Matt Smith or Martine McCutcheon after Love Actually. Yet Karen Gillan did and made the most of it with Guardians and Jumanji...such is the acting game.....

[@Simon-xc5oy]

I have the same thoughts to a degree. I HATED Whitaker in the role. And after seeing some of her interviews and reading some of her thoughts in articles in magazines I started to despise her, as she showed her true ignorance of the show and the character and its history. To her it was nothing more than a job, and one always held by a male actor. So she took the role (though she was not first choice) so she could stick her fingers up to the fans, and push the hardcore feminist angle. Every interview was full of her going on about herself and what it meant to be a woman and to be in that role etc. I was so glad to see the back of her and RTD back in charge. Sadly in 2023 its going to go even more Woke with Nguti. So I wont be back to see any more or the specials. I might watch some in a couple more years if they prove its all about story and the Doctor in Ngutis first season. But with an openly gay Doctor (as mentioned many times in interviews leading up to Nguti on screen) and a trans and a drag queen etc in the cast, It seems more like pantomime to me. I just cant see it working out, and yet I hope I am wrong....

He's not you get davros this is the genesis of the daleks and he was already in a chair by this time, he was injured and mutated by the war on skaro the daleks were his vengeance on the thals and kaleds due to his bitterness and anger Davies says he will now be able bodied

[@roguebritgravy1]

I like seeing 14 in action I like them coming up with Dalek I like Davros pre chair But one thing I also like is the voice-over from Nyder summoning Davros away.

Why did you make every sentence its own paragraph? That's not how paragraphs work. You know that, right?

@@r0bw00d it's just a style choice. We're not writing essays here, we can play with the language if we want.

@@r0bw00d Damn so poems written with 1 sentence per line or even cut off in the middle of the sentence show that the poet doesn't understand how language works I guess, huh? We aren't writing essays here, we don't need to conform to a strict writing style. It's a youtube comment

David Tennant just has sensational energy as the Doctor. Can't wait to see my favourite incarnation back in the role.

The way the Dalek turns its dome to look at Castavillian. Obviously it's not scared of the saying "snitches get stitches"

[@Emerald.She-Ra]

So glad someone else saw the look. 😂

"The timelines and canon are rupturing!" This is hysterical, I love it XD

If only the plunger detail could be made cannon, it's so Doctorish 🙂

[@kathyclark3752]

The fact the Doctor is responsible for A: the Daleks name And B: the Plunger is absolutely hilarious

[@dravenloki9287]

no to mention, 12, could have left Davros for dead as a child

Don't forget using EXTERMINATE as a weapon command.

And Genisis of The Daleks

[@zwordsman]

Oh man. They got him back for that. amazing. Legit that blend of insane evil menancing is a great pairing. Also fantastically hilarious way of rationalizing the design changes and such. and mildly hilarious the terms cam straight from doctor.

To anyone complaining that this somehow "makes a mockery out of Doctor Who", this is just a skit for charity ("Children in Need", it's a big thing here in the UK). The actual show won't be this "loose". That said, this does provide a good insight into the excellent general quality of the writing we can expect, and for that this is an amazingly optimistic preview.

[@PerovNigma]

They should go watch _The Curse of Fatal Death._ Now *THAT* makes a mockery of _Doctor Who_ (in the most loving, hilarious way).

[@coraldiamond1922]

​@@PerovNigmathey should watch the Rowan Atkinson skit as well. Very fun take on Doctor who which was designed for children in need. Either way more David Tennant is always welcome.

[@PerovNigma]

@@coraldiamond1922 Yeah, that's what I was referring to.

[@chazo1367]

Yeah Children in Need has always been a bit more on the nose with some humour mixed in, first 10th doctor scene was Children in Need and that was hilarious with the manic acting.

[@stevecooper7038]

Complete nonsense

I just came back to see David as "The Doctor" again. He was the best.
