So depending on what doctor, every doctor has a different experience with physical touch.
We see doctors like 9,10, & 13 being more open to it but never really seeking it out and then on the opposite scale 11 & 12 especially 12 are really awkward to physical affection and will accept it in important times but otherwise avoid it.
If I had to say which is most okay with physical touch it’d be ten.
So in a clip of wild blue yonder we see the doctor kissing donna’s hand to comfort her, which is a huge step and I’ve never seen him act that way towards anyone before.
Not only that but 14 also has said multiple time that he loves people, which is so incredibly crazy considering he couldn’t even tell rose or river that he loved them because he knew it’d be even more heartbreaking if he did say it.
14 is a lover, not a fighter. He has this like emotional weight to him that everyone could see from just one episode. And I love watching it because it something so new. (And also not?)
I understand that all the doctors have been emotional at times and we’ve seen them all go through different emotions but the way 14 carries this greif, anger, sadness, joy all in one is so amazing and I really applaud David for bringing that out.
I feel like if Donna met the doctors 3 other regenerations since her she would be very confused why this face came back when he obviously had 3 way better options and 11 or 12 would be like “I was wondering that too”
I loved Wild Blue Yonder so much! What an amazing episode. The practical effects are stunning and the chemistry between Donna and The Doctor is so enjoyable to watch.
