No but can you imagine being a Doctor Who fan in the 60's and watching that first regeneration with no knowledge of NuWho or all the other doctors.
You watch this eccentric yet well-mannered old man transform into another, and you're not quite sure what that means yet. But surely, he's just replacing the lead and besides that not a whole lot is going to change, right?
SIKE you have now been introduced to
Who after regenerating, goes non-verbal for a while and only replies with toots of his recorder/flute, which he's suddenly really interested in.
He also never explains his thoughts, silently wanders off, gets fixated on doing tongue twisters right after finding some daleks, becomes obsessed with hats and in episode 2, threatens someone with a gun while in drag and robs the duke's arsonal after a nap.
It's the funniest most Intense vibe shift I've ever seen, but clearly people loved it with how the show's still going strong to this day 😭😭😭

“I found the perfect place, Yaz!” Graham walks into to console room, waving what the Doctor recognizes as a travel book from one of her libraries.
“You said you wanted to visit an alien library, well, this here’s the largest one in the universe! An entire library planet!”
The Doctor sprints over to him and rips the book from his hands. “Find somewhere else. And no libraries.”
The bite in her voice startles them.
———
An hour later the Doctor shuffles into the kitchen where Yaz, Graham and Ryan are having tea, she avoids eye contact. “I’ve changed my mind. I think.. we should go to that library.”
———
They arrive at the Library, the Doctors mood has not improved, she’s hardly said a word since.
“I’m going to drop you off at this section. I… need to be alone here.”
They all shift awkwardly and look at one another, exchanging worried glances.
“Are you alright?” Yaz asks her.
“Stay off my comm channel unless it’s an emergency.” She closes the TARDIS door and a moment later it vanishes.
———
They meet back up a few hours later.
They find the Doctor sitting in a large, wide staircase. Her eyes are red and her cheeks are damp.
“We’re here for you, you know, if you ever need to talk.” Graham says softly as they all take a seat around her.
She eventually looks over at her friends. She thinks once more of River and of Amy and of Rory. She wants a family again.
“I lost my wife here.” She suddenly wants to tell them everything.
She hears them all inhale sharply.
“… This is also the place where I first met her.”
Ryan’s hand touches her shoulder. “Wow, that’s really shit, mate.”
“Ryan!” Yaz and Graham say simultaneously.
“Was that not the right thing to say?” Ryan mumbles to Yaz.
The Doctor laughs.
She smiles at them all, and she lets the tears fall again.
Yaz leans in and wraps her arms around the Doctor, Ryan and Graham follow suit. They stay a little while longer, and talk, and cry, and they hold her more. Her family.

hello tumblr nation, my friend is doing a year12 research project on doctor who and needs responses from people who have watched dr who !! if u have also watched the spin off shows (torchwood, sarah jane’s adventures) then there is a seperate questionnaire for those! Because you people like tapping polls and doctor who i figured this would be a good place to ask for responses :3

I think 9 had a solid shot at being the less queer of the doctors, simply because of how much time he spent staring at rose and the fact that he dressed as a motorbike gang leader
unfortunately for his cisheterosexuality, captain Jack Harkness exists

I just finished watching "A Good Man Goes To War" and, while crying bc I remembered River's life with the Doctor (the backwards meetings) and cackling like crazy after the "The Doctor Returns... IN LET'S KILL HITLER" I can't help but imagine their life afterwards
! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IT'S THE FURTHEST I'VE WATCHED SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE !
So, with the quartet of Amy & Rory being married, River being their daughter and our Space Boi being (in the future) her husband, I imagine a pretty wholesome family life while they travel in the TARDIS, which is miserable for the Doctor.
Like, Rory saying something that the Doctor finds stupid and corrects/objects/insults him, Rory blurts out "I'M YOUR FATHER IN LAW GODDAMMIT! " Which shocks them both. They look at each other like " ??? Did I/you seriously said that?" broken by River's "You tell 'im Dad".
Or, the Doctor having a minor disagreement over something, when Doctor says something like "Can't believe I married you! What happens in the future that I sank to this level?" and while River is used to it and is ready to spit some venom Amy rushes in and slaps the Doctor "DON'T YOU DARE INSULT MY BABY LIKE THAT!!" and Rory standing in the distance "No man can touch my baby girl. (TM)"
I just think it's hilarious , Amy and Rory acting like super overprotective parents of a child that is way older than them (at the moment), River getting all smirky and Doctor considering of dropping them in the Jurassic Period.
