Sometimes when I’m having a bad day, I whisper to myself the words, “Gill Murray” in the exact same way that Gill Murray says Gill Murray.

Just to reiterate, Slap, I don’t need a plus one, I need a stand in.

(On my skim through the series, this little bit of dialogue stuck with me and niggled at my brain until I did something with it. So here’s a wee ficlety thing.)

----

It’s ridiculous, all this fuss over nothing. It’s only because she’s heading out the door that they’re doing this. Prizes before pasture. Absolute nonsense.

The thought of having to hear someone read out a paragraph of nauseating rubbish written by some poor admin assistant who’s never met her in their life fills her with dread. Not to mention having to get up and smile graciously while the Chief Con hands her a stupid certificate that might as well say ‘Well done for not driving off a cliff’ on it while people clap. And not just ‘people’. People she knows. Folk she’s worked with her whole life.

And bloody Rachel Bailey.

She’s pictured it; meeting Rachel at the do. All done up to the nines, hanging on Will Pemberton’s arm like an accessory. All tall and charismatic and gorgeous. She can’t bear the thought of the two of them sitting at a wobbly table, eating mediocre vol-au-vents, whispering to each other about her. Laughing at her, like everybody else will be.

Her mind’s made up. She’s not going. They’ve just picked up this job anyway, so the likelihood of her being able to get away for a whole evening is very low. There’s a tiny, spiteful part of her that thinks about not letting Rachel go either, but she shakes her head and rids herself of that notion.

Without giving it much thought, she brings up the phone thingie on her dashboard console and hits Julie’s number, clearing her throat. The line’s engaged. She hangs up without leaving a message, knowing that Julie will call her when she sees the missed call.

Stopping at a red light, she taps her fingers on the steering wheel, jumping a little when the phone rings. Sure enough, it’s Julie.

“Hiya Slap,” Gill says, pulling out of the junction when the light goes green.

“This is a surprise,” Julie says. “I’ve not heard from you in weeks.”

“Yeah, well, been busy, haven’t I?” Gill lies, shifting in her seat. “Listen, what you up to tomorrow evening?”

“Nothing to speak of,” Julie says. “Why? Are you going to grant me the honour of spending time in your dazzling company?”

“Not this time,” Gill says, guilt dripping into her stomach. “I need someone to go to that stupid do and pick up my-” She can’t say ‘award’, it feels too stupid. “To pick up that thing they’ve foisted on me.”

“Your commendation for bravery, you mean?” Julie sounds amused. “Why can’t you go? Be a shame to miss out on a chance to shake the Chief Con’s hand and listen to him go on about how brilliant you are. Not to mention the buffet.”

Gill rolls her eyes. “We’ve picked up a job this morning and I can’t see me getting away at this rate, so, you know…” She trails off, highly aware that Julie will know this is rubbish.

“Gill,” Julie says, and Gill braces herself for a lecture. “You know nobody would blink an eye at you taking a couple of hours away from the office for this.”

Keeping her eyes on the road, Gill shakes her head. “Can you go or not?”

“I can, but I’m not going to. You need to go,” Julie says. “They’re acknowledging what you went through and celeb-”

“Acknowledging that I was daft enough to leave my car unlocked and stupid enough not to notice someone hiding in the backseat.” Gill sighs. “Yeah, that’s exactly what I want to be remembered for.”

“For God’s sake, Gill, can you not just take it for what it is?” Julie sounds exasperated now. Like any minute she might stop the friend stuff, pull rank and order Gill to attend.

“And what’s that?”

“Recognition that, on that day in particular, you were bloody brave.”

Gill twists her neck to the side. Sometimes she can still feel that belt around her neck. She can see the blood running down Helen’s arm. It doesn’t feel like something to be celebrated.

“You know I hate all that rubbish,” Gill tries again. “Two hours of people spouting trite drivel and handing out prizes for not being dead yet.”

“Why don’t you take someone with you? Enjoy the evening?” Julie pushes. “I think we both know there’s someone you’d like to go with.”

Gill grits her teeth.She should never have told Julie about this. Her tongue had been loosened by too much wine and she’d confessed the secret she’d kept close to her chest for literally years.

“No.”

“Come on, you stubborn cow.” Julie clicks her tongue and Gill can feel the roll of her eyes down the phoneline. “I know you’re a stickler for propriety and all that, but you’re on the road to retirement. Nobody would grudge you this.”

“She’s already going to the thing,” Gill says. “The do. Whatever.”

“Oh?” She can hear Julie’s confusion. “I hadn’t heard she was up for anything…and she’s definitely not old enough for a long service-”

“She’s going with Will Pemberton,” Gill says. “He has been around long enough for a long service award. And she’s going with him.”

Saying it out loud brings back the hurt she’d felt when she’d figured out what was going on. Not that it took much figuring out. It had been more painful than she’d thought it might be. Rachel had been with plenty of blokes before and Gill had coped with it. But there’s something about this one that cuts deep. Will Pemberton isn’t like the others. He’s where Gill should be. Would be, if she hadn’t let that shag bandit ex-husband bugger up her career path. Maybe even higher.

Worse than that, he’s a nice guy. A good guy. The kind of person Rachel might actually settle down with.

“Oh, I see.” There’s a pause. “That’s why you’re trying to get out of going. Gill, I’m s-”

“Don’t, Slap,” Gill warns. “I can’t take you pitying me.”

“I don’t, love,” Julie says. “It’s just…I’ve seen the way she looks at you and if you’d only ask her-”

“Don’t start all this bollocks again,” Gill says. “It’s embarrassing enough as it is without you rubbing salt in the wound.” There’s silence for longer than she’d like on the other end of the phone. “Well?”

“You need to go to the ceremony,” Julie says, finally. “You can’t hide yourself away, crying into your pillow like a daft teenager because the girl you fancy has got a boyfriend. I won’t let you.”

Gill sighs. “You are not helping in the slightest.”

“I’ll come with you if you like, but you need to get up on that stage and accept the praise you’re due.”

Turning into a side street, Gill is relieved to see the police tape up ahead. And not so happy to see the crowd that’s gathered at it.

“Listen, Slap, I’ve just pulled up at the scene, so I’ve got to go. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Fine,” Julie says, not sounding like she means it. “Meantime, I’ll look out my best party frock and tell my wife I’m going out for the evening with my bit on the side.”

The irritation that flares briefly in Gill’s chest is tempered by affection for this idiot she’s lucky enough to call her friend. Still, she won’t allow herself to be browbeat. “Just to reiterate, Slap, I don’t need a plus one, I need a stand in.”

“I’ve told you, you’re going,” Julie says, firmly.

“Yeah, well, think about it. Ta ta.”

She hangs up before Julie can say anything else. The worst of it is, she knows Julie’s right and she knows she’ll end up at this bloody do, no matter how much she protests.

OK so I've been thinking, if RTD absolutely didn't want to go down the root of having a multi-Doctor/multi-companion extravaganza for the 60th, and wanted to go down a more subtle route using old villains and obscure comics to celebrate the show's history, imagine if instead of making the only real "anniversary" elements of the story be his Doctor and his companion, RTD had done the unthinkable, and asked Jodie and Mandip to stay on.

Obviously, there are multiple reasons why that didn't happen. Ultimately Thirteen and Yaz are Chris Chibnall's characters, and RTD may not have wanted to add to Chibnall's story. I'm also aware that Jodie and Mandip thought Chibnall's departure was the right time for them to go, so this ultimately wasn't down to RTD. But I do think (with Chibnall's blessing) he could've convinced them to come back with a good story.

I'm also aware that Jodie had a baby after filming POTD, and needed time away. However, since returning to acting, she has filmed other shows, including Time, which aired before the 60th specials. So there's no reason filming couldn't have been delayed to accommodate Jodie while still having the episodes ready for November/December 2023.

Imagine the end of Power of the Doctor, the Thirteenth Doctor has her farewell with Yaz, goes to the clifftop and starts regenerating... only to end up with the same face by the end of it? Might not have the same impact on the general public as the Tennant return, but certainly enough to keep fans speculating for a year.

Then at the start of The Star Beast, the TARDIS brings her straight to 2023, where she just happens to bump into Yaz as soon as she steps out, who is still hurting after a year without the Doctor, and shocked she doesn't have a different face.

And imagine hearing Akinola's themes for Thirteen and Yaz in Murray Gold's style when they are reunited!

While I do think Donna's exit was more heartbreaking than Yaz's, I'd argue she got closure of a sort, marrying someone who genuinely loves her for who she is, and getting a winning lottery ticket. It certainly didn't need a fanfiction fix-it of being sorted by "just letting go" ("something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand" way to shit on your own progressivism Russell)

While the ending Chibnall gave Yaz was an appropriate and bittersweet one for her character, it was written in a way that permitted closure or another writer picking up the character in the future.

I criticise RTD frequently on here, but one thing he absolutely excels at is realistic family drama (the scene where Sylvia isn't sure she's saying the right thing to Rose was probably the best writing in those specials), and integrating that family drama with the magic and silliness of Doctor Who. Not saying Chibnall was bad at this, but it was never really the story he wanted to tell. RTD could've done some great stuff with the Khan family in the 60th specials, with her parents and Sonya supporting her in adjusting to life without the Doctor, and probably delivering some uncomfortable truths to Thirteen(.5) about all the time she froze Yaz out or pushed her away.

I'm not sure how the specials could've played out, but imagine if instead of Fourteen regenerating into Ten's face because he "needed to come home" to Donna (and not every other found family the Doctor had ever had?), we linked it back to Power of the Doctor, and revealed that Thirteen wanting more time (with Yaz), and Yaz not wanting her time with the Doctor to end triggered the Toymaker's interference. Her made her regenerate into the same face, and brought her straight back to Yaz, and to defeat him they have to let the change complete itself.

If they're going hard on marketing Ncuti's era as "Series 1" as if it's a brand new show, then I think having Thirteen and Yaz (the final Doctor and companion of the 2005-2023 Who) both accept that it's time to move on would be the perfect coda for the "NuWho" as a whole. No "bigeneration" fanfiction fuckery, but maybe Thirteen offering Yaz to stay with her for the change this time, and Yaz this time being the one to say no, not because the Doctor is regenerating, but because she's accepted that time with the Doctor has to end sometime.

And then in the closing seconds, we get to see Ncuti's Doctor, taking up the baton (and clothes) from Jodie Whittaker, just as it should be, his Doctor on his own terms, not a side character in the last guy's story.

As I said, I understand why this didn't happen, but honestly, this would've been so much better than what we got.
