#(honestly the potential for polly-amy parallels is VERY interesting to me)

[the--highlanders]

still thinking about the original character briefs for ben and polly.......

#second doctor #(ik it's technically first doctor but. they are two companions in my heart) #the ways they're opposites in ways which complement each other but which could also create conflict!!! #the detail about ben's family and all the potential there!!!! #his interest in mechanical and electrical things which never really came out on screen!!! #polly's numerous jobs!!!! #(honestly the potential for polly-amy parallels is VERY interesting to me) #polly's motor racing interest. i have said it before & will say it again. she had a racecar driver girlfriend. #also polly said acab #good for her #honestly look at polly's character brief & tell me she is not a very iconic bi #(ben is also bi just for the record but polly's description having stuff about disliking conforming and officials. she's queer in the 60s)
