The only reason why he didn’t regenerate straight away is because of the high doses of general anaesthetic they kept giving him because it wasn’t putting him to sleep so they practically overdosed him and that’s why he regenerates in to the 8th Doctor in the refrigerator in the mortuary.

I LOVE how effortlessly the Doctor and River play off of each other in this scene. The Doctor doesn’t think the scanner will work while the TARDIS is invisible, but at the same time knows that River undoubtedly would get it to, so much so that he plans around his assumption that she’ll pull a River and get it working while he’s out. Then knows her reactions so well he even has the perfectly timed response of “No you don’t” without even being able to hear her classic “I hate you.” Brilliant.

Alex Kingston once commented that Moffatt gave her the blue diary her first day (or thereabouts) on the Doctor Who set, and it was full of hand-written stories. She thought that was nice until she realised that they were actual future plots!

[@alleycat2502]

I’m always surprised that they reacted so harshly when they see him. His acting is so superb I’d probably just be annoyed someone interrupted my meeting to take notes in the background

[@piercelindenberg6842]

It’s the OVAL OFFICE! They’d know who was supposed to be in there and who wasn’t, and if someone was there that shouldn’t be, of course they’d assume that person was a threat to the president!

[@hamsterfromabove8905]

The list of people that get into the oval office is very small. And everyone on that list is carefully vetted to make sure they aren't a threat. And every person that passes the vetting process can only be in the room for a brief period of time at exactly the time they were scheduled for. If someone is discovered inside the oval office that wasn't invited or even known about its a problem. The secret service would be immeadiately be considering the potential of security breach that could lead to a massive terrorist attack. The most unrealistic part of the their response was the fact they "froze" when the other 3 showed up. They'd probably tackle on guy, but if they find a whole squad they'd just start shooting.

[@robinlillian9471]

The SS wouldn't have wasted time pointing a gun at an intruder in the Oval Office. They would have either shot him immediately or tackled him to the floor and immobilized him.

I think that was because his friends appeared, he knew they were american from the start.

[@river-phoenixlunapavier2641]

8bennaboo no it’s because River reminds him that it was Americans who shot him before and he nearly died completely when they tried to remove the bullet and give him open heart surgery as the 7th Doctor! It’s one of the main reasons why he doesn’t like/hates guns! He only approves of River having and using one because he knows she only uses it when it’s absolutely necessary like with the silence scene when they kidnapped Amy! X

[@hannah-roa]

River-Phoenix Luna Pavier Those are good points, but he most definitely already knew they were Americans. He was in the WHITE HOUSE’S OVAL OFFICE for crying out loud. Not to mention, he knows what American accents sound like and that they were standing in Washington DC. He was most likely worried for River, Amy, and Rory’s safety.

Love Canton's responses here. It's clear he already knows the direction the investigation needs to go before the Doctor enters. He doesn't waste time asking the Doctor about the phone call, and knows immediately which of the Doctor's requests is most relevant. He gives him the five minutes because he's already looking much further ahead than that one answer.

You have to admire and give full credit to the set and prop builders for this scene! Building a full size replica of the Oval Office and furnished exactly how it was in Nixon’s day down to having the paintings, flowers even photographs of exactly how he had the room furnished, just stunning craft and workmanship on this one set with the small budget the BBC gave them for this episode! And the Doctor makes me laugh in this scene at the beginning when he’s writing down everything that’s being said nods his head in agreement when Nixon says about not knowing if it actually something to do with the FBI because of Nixon’s shady dealings regarding watergate and when they turn and notice him the Doctor just waves his hand at the pair of them as if to say “don’t mind me, just carry on!” While still writing for a few seconds more before it registered they’re watching him! 💙🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@donaldwatson7698]

This was the season that made headlines because they filmed half of it in the States. Because of that, I have to wonder if the Oval Office pictured is not one of the permanent set pieces Hollywood keeps handy for filming presidential scenes, like perhaps the set from the TV show "The West Wing". You're right about getting time-specific furnishings, for sure.

[@river-phoenixlunapavier2641]

Donald Watson yes half of it was filmed in the states but no this set isn’t one that is stored over there! there’s a behind (you might be able to find it on KZbin if someone’s uploaded it, I’m not sure!?!) the scenes video on the DVD extras and it shows you them doing a lot of research of what it looked like in Nixon’s day, got as much information they could and then it showed them building the whole room to size from scratch it took just under three weeks to research, design, build and get the room/set spot on perfect of how Nixon had everything even down to a personal pen that was his father’s they made a replica one that Nixon always had on his desk when he was in the Oval Office.

They just used the Tardis to go back to when Nixon was in office and filmed the scene right in the actual Oval Office. They had to film late at night to avoid security.
