Everything in Doctor Who that happened on a Sunday

[@PuppetSquid]

To be fair the Doctor never lands on Sundays; the Tardis does

[@PuppetSquid]

(except for that one time he fell from an antenna and died on a sunday, or the time he jumped from a roof and landed on Ruby Sunday)

[@zurro311]

​@@PuppetSquidOkay, that last one was a good one

[@Human-pj4md]

Technically not all of these are when the TARDIS landed, like when Kathy was sent back in time.

[@chloeevans6510]

@@Human-pj4mdtrue, but the title just says everything that happened on a Sunday, so technically it counts

[@woahdudeitsme9742]

​@@PuppetSquid landing on ruby Sunday is hilarious.

[@ODISeth]

To be fair that’s only 15 eventful Sundays across 786 episodes. I think statistically the Doctor’s right, Sundays are boring

[@vullord666]

And so many more adventures off screen 😂.

[@Xeraghusta]

To also be fair most of the episodes we don't know when their happening. There usually some time in the future or some time in the past.

[@nodrance]

90% of the time we have no idea what day it is

[@marcusjackson3473]

It's been Sunday approximately 2% of the time

[@SeugeEsoj-iq9vv]

Sunday’s are boring but when they land on Sunday some wild shit happens

[@icarusty6481]

To be fair to the Doctor, I’m assuming that the “I never land on Sundays” thing was a 10th Doctor rule, specifically. In that case the only time 10 is confirmed to have actually *landed* on a Sunday, as opposed to the day just rolling over naturally or the Weeping Angels sending somebody there, was when he was loopy from regenerating and may not have had very much control over the exact date he went to. Also, if I needed to recover from something like that, I’d probably choose a more boring place than normal.

[@9nikola]

Also I'd say Christmas Eve probably cancels out the boring of regular Sundays. He did specifically decide to land on that date because it was special

[@mattevans4377]

Well also, he didn't really land. He crashed

[@StarkRG]

I've never known Doctor Who to _ever_ be inconsistent.

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

You have no idea. I had to pick apart so many inconsistencies when researching this.

Doctor Who contradicting itself? I am shocked. Shocked.

[@jadegreenleaf781]

The doctor always lies!

[@ZeldaOdelta]

Calling him Good Guy Dan and using pretty much entirely Evil Dan clip sources is a top tier choice

[@kingharkinian1872]

“Nobody needs soup more than me.” -Evil Dan

[@ChrispyBoiYTP]

I’m good at this

[@mccorade5941]

Funny how the first Christmas specials of both RTD eras are on a Christmas Eve on Sunday. Also props for putting all of these in chronological order

[@JamesTDG]

9:31 to this day I find this scene HILARIOUS *whispers in hear* "help me." *doc wakes up immediately just to wave the sonic screwdriver at the tree*

[@beesree39]

this video hardly disproves he "never lands on sundays" but it certainly disproves "Sundays are boring"

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

See, this is what I was going for. Going by the comments I think the message got confused somewhere.

[@Mr.AandDoctorMario360]

I suppose an interesting thing to note is that at least half of these Sundays are *after* that quote in the Doctor's personal timeline. Not sure about the certain David Tennant episodes outside of the his first adventure post-regeneration (Haven't watched Doctor Who actively for a hot minute, so my memory of the episode order is very hazy). I also feel Blink is a special case because people were being sent to that date by the Weeping Angels, not the Tardis.

[@me1735]

I love how the Halloween apocalypse clips is essentially all the evil Dan memes 😂

[@marcosvfilho8687]

"Take the soup Will ya?"

[@tidmouthmilk12]

You forgot the first rule: The Doctor Lies

[@BreaksBee]

honestly i hate this rule.

[@alexbanks9510]

Watching this on a Sunday as intended

[@cillianennis9921]

Noting that most of these are either a holiday to begin with or a day of importance in history we can guess that he makes exceptions for those events. Also we can ignore all the old doctor who stuff as it might be an idea he only came up with after Survival as Ace put the seed of how boring Sunday is in his wee head. But we still have a few episodes that don't fit that so maybe he was just saying that in reference to certain travels or more likely the writer didn't think it would matter & be taken as a joke & never would've expected someone to waste their time doing this. But thanks anyway as it was fun to see this.

[@Devlinator61116]

Apollo 11 landed on July 20th, but Neil and Buzz didn't walk on the Moon until July 21st. EDIT: Granted, the moon walk was at 02:56 UTC, which would have been 22:56 Florida time.

[@altejoh]

I love how by that logic we need to include everything that happened after 12 pm on a Saturday because then it would have been Sunday in Australia xD

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

I think it still tracks because it's Sunday where the story is happening. It's just late enough on the Sunday that in England it was the Monday already. Australia doesn't come into it but if there was a story set in both England and Australia you'd need to think about these things.

[@heyjude9703]

Love how the fan'atics take a throwaway line so seriously for content. Oh wait. New Who airs in USA on Sundays. He ALWAYS lands on a sunday. Well except Christmas.

[@samnichols9802]

Which I think was the whole joke of that line

[@artofthepossible7329]

You never know when a throwaway line becomes important, or is needed to understand another throwaway line.

[@auroraj8987]

This is the type of high quality doctor who video that I love to see

[@Mysteriofreeflying]

Tbf, Blink isn’t landing that’s being sent back in time. Same with the episode with Amy and Rory, that was due to a book. But I do love how some of these episodes just so happen to be some of the biggest events in the series.

[@ImmortalAbsol]

Doesn't really count if the Doctor wasn't there aha. Or if they didn't land on that day but time just passed since they did.

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

You forgot one. This video was released, which began of series of events leading up to the total evacuation of planet Ea-- oh hang on Spoilers

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

"You forgot one", man when I tell you my heart dropped. This took so long.

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

@@wtfmcgurk6315 It's okay. By the time the interdimensional sabertooths show up there won't really be a chance to revise it :)

[@sheersternfeld1914]

Wait, no, but didn't the Doctor see this event and nope out? That would mean he didn't land.

[@THOMAS_VANN]

literally 15 traveled with a sunday

[@lizardgirl413]

yes but did he land on her?

[@thestargateking]

Ngl for as long as the show is, that’s very little Sundays. But I wonder if you can get a lot more other days like a Saturday or Friday.

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

Tbh the issue is not really "there's very few Sundays" it's more "most Doctor Who stories are vague about when they're set". If a story is set on an alien planet then half the time you don't even know what century it's set in. Even if there are human characters we often don't get more than a vague era to go off. These are just the few stories that A) are specific enough about when they're set and B) are set on a Sunday.

[@thestargateking]

@ does make me wonder then assuming we know the date, which day is most common. You know what day of the week was waters of mars on

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

It was a Friday. As to which is the most common day, that's not an easy question to answer quickly but not impossible either.

[@jonothanthrace1530]

Now, what does the Doctor think about Thursdays?

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

This video first in a 7 part series. /j /probably

[@postbunnie]

Wait a second. Are you editing this comment everyday so that it's always on the current day because today totally is Thursday but you posted this comment 3 days ago Nope confirmation was found. All the Time travelers were stuck in the KZbin comment section

[@kilojoel776]

Unlike some space travellers, The Doctor has got the hang of thursdays.

⁠@@kilojoel776 I understood that reference

[@Anzy.99]

1:24 oh my god, is that TILLY FROM NO ROLLS BARRED???????? was not expecting this. I probably wasn't watching NRB back then, this is so fun

[@Lordgrayson]

Outside of a few episodes like Rose, Blink, Day of the Moon and The Christmas Invasion where the doctor either Does not necessarily land on that day(Krakatoa is a maybe) or is not choosing the destination. The list becomes a list of Boring episodes with the notable exception of Vincent And The Doctor which while is a boring episode from a plot perspective is a create character piece on the painter

[@benw4409]

Please tell me you're doing this for every single day of the week.

[@TwoCentReview]

Dan is such a sweet man. He gives up soup whenever he is super needy. He’s the most Christmasy companion of all time, even more than Ruby Sunday, who was literally made to be the most Christmasy character ever.

[@aprildawnsunshine4326]

Idk, as someone born on Xmas it generally makes us bitter. I've met loads of people with similar birthdays and we all hate it. I never have and never will have a party with friends on my birthday, for instance.

[@TwoCentReview]

@ That’s true. I was born on Thanksgiving, but I know that everyone born on or around Christmas got screwed on gifts.

[@Ixarus6713]

I thought he needed the soup? Because; and I quote:" Nobody needs soup more than me!"

[@lexezlao]

​@@TwoCentReviewCan confirm

[@zzehyboy753]

In a lot of these he landed on a different day and hung around for a bit. The Doctor's not even there in "Blink"

[@TheBeastBoss04]

Tilly Steele mentioned!!!!

[@StardustSpectre]

Obviously 10 thinks Sundays are boring because he spent his first one in a coma

[@Anzy.99]

The Doctor being contradictory? Oh no, I can't believe it...

[@GoldPrince2468]

Have another goofy Doctor take Sundays, avoiding 10 & 11. Like we know the Doctors don’t bump into each other often but they especially don’t want to see other Doctors.

[@TedVoigt-dk1fu]

the intro though

[@CringyBoi42069]

Rule 1: The Doctor lies

[@KarsuUthin]

Always remember Rule 1. The doctor lies.

[@EasternStandardTim]

That’ll be a no for blink, he didn’t land in 1920, Kathy did.

[@LisaBeta-42]

Sundays seem to be thraumatic to the Doctor - but the most Sundays seen hier happened AFTER the Doctor landed earlier and spent some time in this era until Sunday came around...

[@jackthefrog80085]

And maybe thats only the 10th doctor thing. I can see 12 liking sundays

[@RBenjo21]

I'm not sure if this was deliberate, but you've basically ended up on the filming dates for Survival anyway. It was filmed from 12-23 June 1989.

[@wtfmcgurk6315]

I didn't bother to check (too much research went into this already) but I imagined that might be the case.

[@TheGabygael]

Well the doctor didn't land on Dec. 5 1920, Kathy did

[@hotdogbrained]

Only bad things happen on Sunday, thats why

[@vullord666]

The Doctor: Sundays are boring Also the Doctor: Prevents the universe from being destroyed and ruled by the Master on a Sunday before he dies and comes back to life (Jesus Christ). 8:10 I also love the thought that he's just channeling Ace when 10 says Sundays are boring 😂.

[@CuriosityRocks]

The Boop 🥰🥰

[@obiwankenobi687]

I’m playing devils advocate, 13’s happened after 10’s comment, 9 at Krakatoa could easily have landed the day before. The Vincent episode could be the very early hours of Sunday as they stay with Vincent, so he could have landed on late Saturday evening. The doctor does not land on a Sunday in blink. He lands on the Saturday in evolution of the daleks. 13 really landing on two sundays in one series, she’s a menace. We definitely did not land on the Sunday in kill the moon. We can forgive Ten on the Christmas invasion he was going through a lot And the last one. Meh, don’t care about that rubbish, land when you want

[@cewla3348]

9:15 eepy

[@malmalfactor3544]

Christmas invasion is Christmas 2005, not 2006

[@lughtube5596]

I'm gonna be a real nerd here and say no. Series 1 starts in 2005, Aliens of London takes place a year later in 2006. Christmas Invasion is 2006, Runaway Bride is 2007, Voyage of the Damned 2008, The Next Doctor is 19th Century which gives time for us to catch up to the show's present in End of Time set in 2009 which is the only RTD Christmas Special set when it was released.

[@brookse746]

the doctor lies he probably just said Sunday as some random bullshit
