Doctor Who Tag - Lollie

Hello Internet People, welcome back!

Don't even role your eyes at this title, you knew this was coming eventually.

So I found these questions on Tumblr before we start the tag and I thought I'd give my opinions on them.

1. Where’s Donna’s dad?

One theory is that Donna's dad I think left her and her mum when she was young so because of this, Donna has never really bothered with men. Her granddad - Wilf - is the main father figure in her life. When she was due to marry Lance, she was so very excited for it because she had finally found a man who wasn't like her dad and was more like her granddad. Obviously we all know how that ended. When she decides she wants to travel with The Doctor, that's all she wants to do, she doesn't fancy him or love him... she just wants a friend and that's something that I think not only relieves the doctor but also Donna. Donna finds the doctor to be more of an escape from her reality rather than a love interest as he offers her something more.

Another one I have still revolves around Donna's dad leaving when she was small, however, Donna completely idolised him as a father and when he left, she somehow blamed her mum. this would explain all the negative feelings and actions she has towards her mum sometimes. She also, when her dad left, sought a replacement father figure in Wilf.

2. How are multiple doctors allowed to exist at once (for example, the eleventh doctor and the tenth)?

You'd have to ask The Moff about this one...

3. Is Rory the father of River?

Yes. How can someone begin to even question that! Yes I know River can regenerate etc etc, but that's NOT because she is the daughter of The Doctor (also River married The Doctor in the end and you can't have The Doctor's daughter marrying The Doctor... well... let's not even go there okay 0 wibbily wobbly, timey wimey.. stuff). River can regenerate because she was conceived in the TARDIS surrounded by time energy and vortex stuff (I'm almost technical sounding as the show haha!)

4. How come The Doctor seems surprised when the Daleks find him even though he parks the TARDIS in the middle of the street?

He's surprised because, the state the street is in and all the rubble and the wreckage would suggest that the Daleks had already stormed that street, he thought he was safe.

5. Is The Doctor part human since he has a belly button?

No. That's just how time lords look..

6. Who is that one girl with the son that’s like 14? And why do they have a robot dog?

Wow... wow, wow, wow. Let me just sit down for a  moment. SARAH JANE SMITH!!! oh my gosh, that is Sarah Jane Smith. Her son is 14-year-old, genetically modified genius and her robot dog, was originally The Doctor's. His name is K9.

7. Why does the tenth doctor carry around a stethoscope?

Because Stethoscopes are cool, they come in handy, he's a 'doctor' of sorts and we all know Ten has the thing of carrying things he may not intend to use (The brainy specs)

8. If a human-timelord hybrid (the doctorDonna) can’t exist, how come the clone of the tenth doctor (the one from his hand) can?

A human-timelord hybrid such as the DoctorDonna, can't exisit due to the fact that Donna's body was human. All the timelord knowledge was too big for her brain to cope with as humans brains have a smaller capacity then Timelords. The clone of Ten, aka The Meta-crisis Doctor, can exist because this meta-crisis, grew from the part of a Timelord, therefore, he has a Timelord brain capacity.

9. As a follow-up, does that clone regenerate too? Would the doctorDonna also?

The clone does not regenerate as when it grew from Ten's severed hand, he only grew back with one heart. This is because that is the template that was given when the Meta-crisis was formed as DoctorDonna only had one heart. This means that DoctorDonna cant regenerate either as she only has one heart. It is part of a Timelord's genetics to be able to regenerate but to do this they must have a bi-binary heart system (is that the right phrase?)

Now time for the quizzy bit

When did you start watching Doctor Who?

I started watching Doctor Who in 2005 when the reboot came out. I was 6, nearly 7 and my next-door neighbour came round one day and we were sat watching TV in my room, flicking channels when Doctor Who came up. She told me to click it and there must have been about three or four episodes back to back on. The first one was 'Dalek' and after I watched that, I didn't want to stop.

Who is your favourite Doctor?

Ten. Even though Nine is MY Doctor, so to speak, Ten will always be my favourite and his era was absolutely brilliant.

Favourite companion?

I think it has to be Rose as she was the first companion I ever watched and I grew sort of attached to her. I grew so attached to her in fact that when 'Doomsday' was aired, I was having a BBQ and I stayed inside on my own to watch the episode and then proceeded to cry as she got sucked into the void and then transported to the parallel universe.

Favourite episode?

'Girl in The Fireplace' is one of them. I'm not sure what it is about this episode that drew me in and it's still a favourite of mine till this day. Also 'Utopia', 'Sound of Drums' and 'Last of The Time Lords' because these episodes as so well written and are brilliant!

Least favourite episode?

'The Unquiet Dead'. I think, I never actually saw this episode when it aired so that made me not like it. I can't actually sit through the episode. It doesn't scare me or anything, I'm not too sure what it is about it...

Least favourite companion?

Here is where most would write Martha but I loved Martha. I don't really have a least favourite companion. A lot of the companion have things about them that annoy me a little bit and I do feel as though (even though I love Jenna Coleman and the character of Clara) that Clara has outstayed her welcome with The Doctor.

If you were a companion, what kind of companion would you be?

I'd like to think I'd be a good one. I'm not great at running so, I'd complain about that like Donna. I'd love The Doctor like Amy did, like a best friend. I'd be brave and independent like Martha, Intelligent and quick like Clara and adventurous like Rose.

Greatest Doctor Who creature?

Oh... has to be the Daleks.

least favourite Doctor Who creature?

My least favourite has got to be the Empty Child. Not because It's terrible just because that episode freaked me out so much!

Who is your favourite non-companion character?

Adam Mitchell

Who is your favourite villain?

The Master. Definitely The Master. Without a doubt.

What would you do first if you could travel with The Doctor?

Victorian era, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, ancient Greece

What do you think would be behind your door at the hotel in The God Complex?

Well, I'm scared of feet... so.. feet? wait, was it your biggest fear behind the door or biggest belief? I haven't watched it in a while :/

What would be your reaction to meeting The Doctor?

'It's you... you're the actual Doctor.. The Doctor. Where's the TARDIS? Where are we off to first then?'

If you meet The Doctor, who would you tell first?

Probably Ash or Payton...

Which Doctor Who moment made you cry the most?

Dålig Ulv Stranden and the regenerations of 10 and 11

Would you rather go on adventures with The Doctor, River Song, or Captain Jack Harkness?

Can I just have all 3?

If Captain Jack began flirting with you, how would you react?

'Chan, I do not Protest, Tho'

Which relationship (canon or not) is your favourite?

RosexTen, MarthaxMickey, Osdrum (MasterxClara), Pondswald (ClaraxAmy), Allonswin (ClaraxTen), Whouffle (ClaraxEleven), Whouffaldi (ClaraxTwelve)  

If you could ask The Doctor one question, and it was guaranteed that he would answer it honestly, what would you ask him?

Doctor Who??????

When it is time to leave The Doctor, you are allowed one souvenir from your travels. What would you like it to be?

Can I take the TARDIS? too big?? Okay... The Doctor? no? I'll take a sonic then please... Or one of those sleep patches that induces a dream state, those could prove useful

 That was a sort-of Doctor Who tag, I hope you enjoyed it and I'll be back next week at some point with another post for you all!

Until Next Time, Allons-y!

Doctor Who Series 9 Reports (SPOILERS!) - Lollie

Hey guys, It's me Lollie being a nerd once again!

So it's been half term and if I'm honest - I haven't done a lot apart from spend a lot of money, eat too much food, binge-watch Doctor Who and tweet constantly... Woah - my life sucks. 

Well it doesn't suck fully because A) I learnt how to cook and flip pancakes successfully and B) there have been so many beautiful film set reports of series 9 of Doctor Who and so many beautiful spoilers and fan theories ^_^

So, I'm just gunna round them all up for an of you Whovians who have missed something.

SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ MANY POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Jenna is staying for all of series 9... Or is she?

As far as we've been told, Jenna Coleman is staying on as Clara Oswald as companion for the entire series 9. I saw something on Twitter earlier that indicated that Jenna was in fact attending Emerald City Comic Con in Washington - this mean that she either has a break from filming for a while, or that she is in fact not completing the full series 9 as companion. This is just my opinion but I think that she's probably staying for the whole series.

The new series will return in autumn 2015

Okay, this one - I have a bone to pick... Whatever happened to series starting in April? 'Rose' (the first episode of New Who, Series 1) back in 2005, was aired on March 26th and The Eleventh Hour (first episode of Series 5) was aired April 3rd 2010. I do know why the series started airing again in September time but I kinda wish they started a little earlier in the year. 

Series 9 will probably air around August 23rd ish as that's what it was last year I think. 

BBC released a teaser picture of us! But wait... Is that a Dalek?!

So the first thing about this picture is the red dots on the map - what are they for? Why are they all over Canda? What episode are they in? I think this is filming for block 2 of the series which does include Episode 1 and 2.

Then, when you think all is well - Bam! There's something that looks like a Dalek. I had to do a double take of this picture because I'm not sure about this one. Yes it a a blue light but it's hard to make out any other features. Unless it is some hybrid Dalek of some sort i don't know whether we can assume that it is a Dalek for now.

Episode 1+2 names have been revealed and there are a two parter! Along with episode 3+4 which is also a two parter!

Episode one is called 'The Magicians Apprentice' and Epsiode two is called 'The Witches Familiar', they are a two-parter. Episode 3+4 are two-parters also that have been written by Toby Whithouse who wrote Epsiode such as 'Vampires of Venice' and 'The God complex'.

Guess who's back, back again - Missy, Kate and UNIT

Yes! That's right! Just yesterday the BBC confirmed that Michelle Gomez will be rejoining the cast in Episodes 1+2 as the evil and malevolent Missy! It was also confirmed that Jemma Redgrave will be back playing Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, which also means the return of UNIT. Sadly, we had confirmation from the MOFF that Osgood was dead - however, never trust Steven Moffat! 

Also, Clare Higgins who played one of the potion lady of the sisterhood of Karn in 'The Night of The Doctor' is re-appearing. This has lead to a fan theory that I would love to be true, however, I doubt that it is.

This would explain how John Simm's Master, regenerated in Michelle Gomez' Missy, however, I don't know whether John would be willing to return due to his recent bad experiences with over-bearing fans on Twitter. I would love it to be true and I would love to know how she managed to gain another regenaration when she has used them all up.

Has Missy had a bump in with Captain Jack or River because 'oh look, what's that in you pocket?' Sorry, on your wrist...

Michelle Gomez was in a video posted by the BBC yesterday saying how she was happy to be back on set and back being Missy. As she filmed the video, she was in her costume and on her wrist - Is a vortex manipulator! 

Is this what she used to escape her fate of being shot by a Cyberman? And is she being chased by UNIT for it back as The Vortex Manipulator is under UNIT protection. Also will we ever find out where Missy's TARDIS is? And does she really know where Gallifrey is?

Filming locations include Caerphilly Castle and MOD Caerwent

The first shots of the set and filming were of MOD Caerwent - this is persumably being used as some type of Russian base to do with UNIT for the first 2 two-parter episodes. There were some rumours speculating about two TARDIS' being taken to the set...

Jenna, Jemma and the TARDIS were spotted also at Caerphilly Castle. 

'Son-ta-huh?' 

If you don't pay attention to this photo very carefully, it just looks like Peter and a fan of the show who happened to be doing his training the day of filming but... Then you look at the shadow on Peter's coat - is that the familiar shape of a Sontarans head? Could it be Strax? Could this mean the potentially return of The Pasternoster Gang? (Please let them return, oh please). 

This was taken at the filming at MOD Caerwent and is part of the first two parter (episodes 1+2) meaning it's from the same Epsiodes as the picture with the a possible Dalek in the background - ooohhhhh! That could get interesting - Sonatarns and Dalek, oh my ...

Coal Hill is back

Jenna was spotted this half term, staring at the sky out of one of the windows at Tonyrefrial school, along with her motorbike spotted in the grounds.

Clara's a... MAN???

Jenna's stunt man (yes man) was spotted filming just today in Wales on the motorbike. 

He was wearing a green and white skirt and black high heeled boots - these are the same things Jenna was wearing at Caerphilly Castle so that means they are both in Episodes 1+2. 

Everything was filmed from up here - hense so they could use the stunt double 

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No one knows because Moffat's a poop head.

Basically today, at the filming of the motorbike scene, two children are standing by the road and they are looking up at the sky. People who were on location said they were told to look at a 'frozen plane' in the sky. Clara goes past on the motorbike, unfazed by the whole thing.

'Doctor... We're in... Spain?' 

A member of the film crew tweet a while back and confirmed that they were on set in Spain - apparently they filmed two Epsiodes. The episodes filmed in Spain could quite possibly be Toby Whithouses 'creepy thrilling' two parter for Epsiodes 3+4.

Don't blink... She's back

The woman who directed the award-winning episode 'Blink' is back and is set to direct Block 2 of the Series 9 filming - this includes the first two-parter.

Oh my what in the name of sanity is this rumour? 

Alex Kingston might be returning as River Song.

I say might because there have been two thing that suggest it - 1. Alex herself said she looked forward to sharing more of River's story with the fans 2- she said that Doctor Who don't have more money for series 9 because 'you should see her trailer' 

What do you think? Do you want River to return? How would she get on with 12?

Well, lovelies! That was this weeks instalment of Lollie!

I hope you enjoyed this, if you didn't - i well, I enjoyed writing it! I'll keep you posted on our Twitter (@the7sweethearts go follow us - shameless self-promotion right there) of further developments and filming  locations etc... If I can...

Until next time, Allons-y!
