Polly is so enamored with Nell.
And Nell, she doesn't seem to be hating it.
She might be a bit confused, but not hating it.
And Roxy isn't exactly disapproving.

I love how Polly kissing Nell is the most climatic moment of Pollys life but Nell just rode across the country, saved her sister from an evil theatre kid, and helped a woman give birth, so she’s just like sure okay this is happening and doesn’t even comment on it.

also, when Nell sees that the theatre troupe woman's water broke and she's like "lol we gotta peace out" and it jumps to Nell literally delivering the baby is peak comedy and also an absolute representation of Nell's character

Last night I finally finished all the Classic Companions in my Doctor Who series. Decided to put them all together to see how they looked, and I rather like it! A future poster, maybe?
(Before anyone asks about Liz, she's on the as-yet-unfinished UNIT poster. I haven't forgotten her. Please, I've had so many people ask me about Liz)

I like the idea of polly/nell, because nell has chemistry with everyone tbh, but equally interesting to me is the idea of polly spending the show forever finding ways to be near this dashing highway woman and nell being perpetually dumbfounded/amused that this high class woman is so obsessed with a bar keep's daughter from Tottenham.

Polly wrote a few dreamy sentences about the beauty of Nell’s eyes & immediately got the editor position. The power of lesbianism.
