10 Biggest Doctor Who Conspiracy Theories

[@cyberinsecuregaming2890]

The Devil's Chord definitely feels more like a late-season episode rather than an early-season episode.

[@TheSpicer64]

Especially when Ruby says "you never run away"

[@cobaltmale]

The rumour is it was put on that night because it was Eurovision night, and it made a musical episode more apt. Frankly, I believe this one.

[@shaunthomas8602]

I agree! Felt very weirdly placed in the series.

[@timrob12]

One of my favorite thing about leaks is that, when they were shooting Power of the Doctor, David Bradley, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy were all spotted in a restaurant in Cardiff, making it quite obvious that they were involved as it seems likely that past Doctors would avoid Cardiff if they're not needed there. Yet, when I brought this up to people, I always got comments like: "Don't be stupid" or "No, they aren't, shut up." So, even when the evidence is right in front of people, the people themselves won't always accept it, and there is something funny about that.

I think The Devil’s Chord was moved up so its broadcast would coincide with Eurovision.

[@conwarlock3537]

When thinking about lost episode conspiracy theories, what first comes to mind is that the queen supposedly had all of them stashed.

[@BigFunnyGiant]

“Almost here” is ambiguous. It could mean a day, a week or even a month, especially considering how long “the one who waits” has waited.

[@LantzeLamoureux]

One that I have, that I never heard anyone else say, was that Missy was the person who ran over Danny in order to manipulate Clara into getting the Doctor to 3W. This is supported by the episode "Death in Heaven" where the Missy gloats about pushing the Doctor and Clara together saying, "...you'd go to hell if she asked you and you did." There was no way for Missy to know that was exactly what happened unless it was part of her plan plan. She even called U.N.I.T on herself before the Doctor arrived at 3W because she new he.

[@EmpireGamingWynter]

I'm so glad I didn't get bigeneration spoiled for me beforehand. I was so shocked when it happened, that feeling really adds to how much I like The Giggle

[@DanBrizuela]

The six months thing in devil’s chord could easily be explained as after the end of space babies, Carla allowed ruby to travel with the doctor only if she worked and made enough money to fix their apartment which took about 5-7 months

[@katrose5179]

That’s a moronic explanation, though.

The "private collector" story has been circulating since the Davison era. The allure of owning something that nobody else does, even if you could never show it to anyone, is straight out of City of Death and the seven Monas Lisa.

Also, in regards to the missing episodes, there is still my theory that Ian Levine is holding them all hidden in his basement. Or maybe I'm just too hopefull.

[@roseblite6449]

There are probably still Doctor Who shows in America. I remember distinctly seeing 'The Daleks' Master Plan' in the early 70's when the family went to Disneyland. Sara Kingdom is killed in episode 12, and I remember that and being under 5 yrs old I though it weird that The Doctor didn't turn the aging machine on reverse de-aging her. Watching the cartoon version recently, since that is one of the "Lost Episodes", I can tell the difference and she started stage Left (right of screen) and fell onto a bolder rolling off of it then laying down while being aged and dying before the Doctor could get to her.

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

[@VinnieBartilucci]

My favorite part of the "problems" with the Daleks appearing in the new series is that they were all Steve Martin's fault.

[@SamButler22]

They're faking the viewing numbers? RTD just buying all of Currys' stock of TVs and tuning into Doctor Who on all of them in a big warehouse lol

[@so1opiniao]

When I read the title I instantly thought of Yaz's dad 😂

[@soylent_purple]

I always considered the theory that the Doctor and the Master are siblings to be stupid, because if they really were why would they keep that a secret, unless they wouldn't know about it themselves. And besides, the whole Timeless Child bs wiped away the idea of them being related anyway.

[@Windxchild]

I never actually heard that rumour myself before. But Hugh Grant would make a good Doctor, actually

[@KadeSmash]

I mean if the master was the doctors secret brother it'd explain why the one episode was called the timeless children as in more than one timeless child

[@foolonthehill8410]

[@gulgothica]

Vinder had anything extra? I thought he was just a fun character for a season.

[@scibus4360]

Here's one for you... we now know what the 14th Doctor has been doing while on earth. He's been competing on pommel horse for the United States.

[@Ibalistic_hedge]

Series 10s opening episode was not called friends from the future, it’s called the pilot.

[@TheIrvy]

They weren't referencing the opening episode, there was a short shown before the season aired that featured the Daleks, and it was called Friend from the Future.

[@kevin10001]

I feel like as the rumor says devil’s chord was moved up due to it inclusion of the Beatles cause at the time of it’s actual airing Disney had announced their plan to release the Beatles get back movie/documentary onto Disney+ but it does feel like it was meant to be at least a few episodes later then episode 2 especially with the Lines about being from June 2024

[@chrisevans2961]

Let's start a new rumor - BBC Crossover.. Tardis landing on Red Dwarf. Three way with Doctor, Rouge, and Cat!!

[@Paulafan5]

Ace Rimmer becomes the new Doctor, fixes the entire universe, the series ends once and for all. What a guy!

[@Azphreal]

Last week i went to Aldbourne where they filmed Daemons.

[@lordofthereels6790]

Giles from Buffy isn't just a Time Lord but HE'S the Doctor between 2/3 with his "post" as Watcher training slayers being his penance for disobeying the Time Lords as 2 (maybe 2 is Ripper/Giles rebellious past self hinted at in Buffy). Hellmouths in the US would also give a narrative reason for the Time Lords to avoid the continent too.

[@harveyburton7]

So when missy kisses the doctor, she's kissing her brother. Nice to know.

[@thecubingsquare101]

The Doctor tried so hard to find Gallifrey and he didn't even try to check Alabama

[@dashtoroya2838]

Missy used to be a man. So it's gay/incest kiss.

[@GoranNewsum]

I think a better broadcast order for Season 1 would be: Space Babies, Boom, Dot and Bubble, Rogue, 73 Yards, The Devil's Chord, The Legend of Ruby Sunday, Empire of Death. That way you get Ruby's first time on an alien planet as episode 2, and the last four episodes form a loose quadrilogy regarding Ruby, her connection to The Pantheon of Gods and also the 73 yards perception filter. Dot and Bubble and Rogue could potentially be in either order, but I put them round this way so you don't get two Doctor-lite episodes in a row.

[@Donnagata1409]

Oh, Ellie! Please take care of yourself. Your voice does not sound quite as usual yet. We enjoy your videos very much, but your health comes first. LLAP! 🖖🖖

[@brainlock72]

The Master and Doctor are originally the same Time Lord, either at different points in their time streams or somehow bigenerated, as they would say now, having been born as the same person. Reflections of the same person. (See also: the Valeyard.) The Timeless Child plays into the Cartmel Master Plan, and the Doctor is the Other. Jack is the Doctor’s child, or grandchild. Perhaps great-grandchild by Susan? Susan is just a random Gallifreyan who took to calling him Grandfather as a joke. The Doctor’s final regeneration will be into a child, and will be found by an Abandoned Outpost. Thus becoming the Timeless child and looping back into their own time stream. The TARDIS will remain by his side all this time, two lonely Companions for eternity.

[@mjmjr91]

Copyright of the Daleks sounds like an interesting episode 😊

[@csueconner9711]

I only know one person who watches TV. Everyone else streams. These viewing figures don’t show up in the rating. So how can they still be using the current rating system?

[@dinogoldie9716]

4:08 BBC Commissioner "Russ. Darling. We're going to launch the new run of Doctor Who on the 11 May. That's coincidentally the night of the Eurovision Song Contest Final. So....don't suppose you've got something totes #BraveAndStunning featuring a screeching drag queen and a song and dance routine featuring the Strictly cast?" I'm guessing that's what happened there.

[@DjG7979]

What if the Master is a previous Bi-Generation from when Doctor was younger. That could make the Doctor the cause of the the Bi-Generation "myth" and also the only example of it (twice).

I hope they find a reason to bring Vinder back. Or not even a reason. I miss him.

The BBC aren't that tech savvy (especially in 2005) to understand the marketing benefits that could come from silently leaking the episode on the Internet like that.

[@looniper3551]

People "claim" the viewing figures are inflated because they are. That or while the entire world became fans of the show and saw growing viewership up until Dorctor Jody and the Woke Writers landed.... At that point, viewership world-wide started a rapid decline and continued, reaching less than 10% of its prior level in just season 1. And again that much decline from that point, by the end of the next. And they're writing the same trash today, and continued on the same track. At this point, it doesn't even get air-time on a lot of foreign networks. It is being "negotiated" on to streaming services for free for crying out loud. You do that with IPs that you are ready to give up on, not the ones you are still holding strong viewership on.

I think the one about leaks is actually true. I've seen a few leaked set photos that seemed to indicate things that ended up never actually actually happening. A leaked set photo from the end of Peter Capaldi's run seemed to show an actor on set in a costume very similar to the one worn by Ainsley's Master in the classic era of Doctor Who indicating that there would be more than just John Simm's Master in that episode. That character never ended up appearing anywhere in the episode, no one in a similar costume was even seen anywhere in the episode. So they apparently had someone on set just to take a blurry photo of the back of their head in that costume to create a fake leak on purpose. Near the End of Jodie's Whitaker's run it had long been rumored that the 6th Anniversary was going to be a multi-Doctor adventure that saw the return of every living Doctor plus David Bradley as the First Doctor. The only one who hadn't been confirmed to be returning was Matt Smith who was busy filming another project at the time. It turns out a lot of previous Doctors did return but not for the 60th Anniversary specials. They were in Jodie Whittaker's final episode instead. The 60th ended up being only David Tennant and Ncuti Gatwa appearing in it. There's also the fact that even trailers have used fake shots recently. The scene of Ncuti Gatwa saying "What the hell is going on here" in the trailer looked like it was going to take place in that same metaphysical location where Jodie interacted with her past incarnations but in the actual episode it happens in U.N.I.T. headquarters shortly after the Bigeneration. It does seem like they occasionally put out fake leaks that mix in with real leaks so we can't guess what's going to happen in an episode before it's released.

The fact that Russel t davies watches/reads fans' theories then claims that was the plan and idea the whole time

I wouldn't class the time jump between Space Babies and The Devils Chord as a 'conspiracy theory' it's mostly people just pointing out the continuity error. Although I have seen some mad theories from people convinced it had some deeper hidden meaning, but really they were just overthinking it and the actual reason was probably something like the episodes being reordered or the air date getting moved. To be honest they could've just cut the line from the episode and it wouldn't have made any difference.😂

I hate estates that can own something after the creator's death, and bypass the already extremely long time before it can be used without permission. It already ensures that by the time something can be freely used, no one cares about it anymore because it has been too long.

Ah, the relatives of the Doctor. The Master is his brother? Sure, why not. And hey, if Susan was his granddaughter, what happened to his child (Jenny - do we count her or not)? And who might their Mommy be? Oh, and let's not forget the Doctor's parents - according to #8, he's half human, so there's that. Cheers....

The trouble with The Confidential Agreement of the Daleks is that it would surprise nobody if it was true.
