From the Old Doctor Who:
Other Time Lords will probably be evil.
If The Doctor didn’t “do it” with Peri he’s got to be gay.
The SAME gravel pit.
I can’t really fault them for that. Since it’s an English show, it’s going to be Englishcentric, just like American shows are Americentric.
The BBC gravel pit, or quarry, for that matter.
[hijack]One thing I never understood about the original version of the show. I heard that in the UK, the role of the Doctor was one of the most sought-after TV roles, but yet the special effects and props budgets were really low.[/hijack]
So, what you’re saying to me is: “Eddie’s in the time stream”.
“Yes”
And this is his couch?
You take your British time travel stories where you can get them. 
I actually posted before you but y’know how it is. Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.
Ah, gotcha.
Experienced time travelers, with rooms full to bursting with clothes from nearly all times and planets, nevertheless rarely if ever dress apropriate to the time period and place.
Just watched “Monsters vs. Aliens” with the kids, which contains this line from a news reporter:
“Once again, a UFO has landed in America, the only country UFOs ever seem to land in.”
I immediately knew that the writers had never seen an episode of Doctor Who…
… or a Godzilla movie
There are a couple of things here: firstly, I’m not sure there’s any logical connection between the attractiveness of a role, from an acting point of view, and the size of the special effect budget.
Secondly, I don’t think the role of the Doctor ever was one of the most sought-after.
If you are not seen fucking your hot companions then most people won’t realise what really goes on in the TARDIS.
Well, that probably comes with the experience – when you start out on this whole time-travelling thing, you’re probably really concerned about blending in and not disturbing the course of history and stuff like that, but once you get a bit of mileage on your TARDIS, you realize that deep down, people don’t really care all that much if you dress funny, and you might as well wear something comfortable.
People don’t notice a blue police box in ancient rome(well, they did, but it didn’t come across as any more then “interesting artwork”) so why would they notice the Doctor’s clothes?
As a collary, the only time period where anyone noticed that Martha was black was 1913 England, despite her probably sticking out less there in Elizabethian England.
Actually, Shakespeare called her a blackamoor and an Ethiop, if I recall correctly.
ETA: But he meant it in a nice way.
After Martha asked the Doctor if she was in danger of being carted off as a slave and commented “Not exactly white in case you haven’t noticed” he advised her to simply act as though she owned the place as that is what had always worked for him.
