"London looks a little bit better than I remember" - Ah yes, science fiction.
NGL the Doctor realizing that the environment is a matte painting sounds like the setup to an unironically great episode.
We can go anywhere in space and time, as long as it can easily be filmed in either Cardiff, London, or a studio set. And occasionally Bristol.
“At least I’m finally ginger” Real Doctor Who fan here
I once read something along the lines of: “It says a lot about Doctor Who that every episode that has “Daleks” in the title uses the appearance of the Daleks as a ‘surprise’/cliffhanger as if there was no way anyone would expect it”
“the crushing inevitability of the Daleks” is simultaneously a great name for an episode and an all too accurate descriptor for their frequency
"She's called the TARDIS. She can go anywhere in time and space." "Even a gravel quarry in Wales?" "Especially a gravel quarry in Wales!"
"Space is an vast, infinite ocean, with infinite potential for interesting characters and plotlines." "How about Daleks?" "...Infinite potential for interesting characters, and plotlines." "Daleks on Earth."
"This is a Truely triumphant day for the people of Hitler 7" "the people of what!?" THAT killed me 🤣
"Let's talk to this inexplicably Welsh alien" is one of the greatest sentences I've ever heard.
It's funny how American movies always assume that the aliens would start the destruction of Earth with Manhattan. Actually, almost all aliens immediately go for vaguely London-looking streets in Cardiff and the rural farmlands of Wales. The most realistic alien invasion scenario probably involves time-worms who escaped from New New London in 6342 AD, possessing clothing store mannequins, scaring Welsh cows somewhere on a farm.
I would love to see an actual episode of DW where the Daleks come on yelling "IT'S US AGAIN! IT'S US AGAIN!"
“absolutely anywhere, in space AND time.” “present day london please.” checks tardis console “right i can give you cardiff looking a bit like london, take it or leave it.”
"We must solve this intergalactic issue with peace talks and negotiations! Make love not war, goofy and/or almost humanoid alien race!" "Also if you don't cooperate I'll threaten you with genocide lmao".
The Crushing Inevitability of the Daleks is my favourite episode of all time, it's so original. I like the bit where the Daleks pretend not to be scared of the doctor, but they are really.
So the doctor is finally a ginger and he took the face of Van Gogh, remarkable.
At this point I imagine even the Daleks turn up in episodes, wondering how they survived their last Doctor-related mass genocide.
What makes this sketch even better is the fact ABK has now actually appeared in Doctor Who via Redacted
I live in Cardiff, I can see four Doctor Who sets from my window
The Doctor: "I'm a total pacifist, I'll never kill!" Also The Doctor: 0:50
