DOCTOR WHO The End of Time - Part Two

no setup-payoff will ever HIT as fucking hard as when the Tenth doctor got the prophecy that he will die when “he knocks four times” and we spend the entire season thinking its because of the main antagonist- who has a constant knocking/drumming sound in his head.. thinking that the doctor is in the clear when said antagonist dies and the prophecy DIDNT come true... feeling the doctor’s relief that he’s managed to escape death once again..................... only for wilfred mott to knock four times on the glass chamber he’s trapped in. your setup-payoff might be good but it will never be THIS fucking good

Every night, Doctor, when it gets dark and the stars come out, I will look up on her behalf. I will look up at the sky and think of you.

RIP BERNARD CRIBBINS 💙 29th December 1928 - 28th July 2022

We are extremely saddened to learn of the passing of Bernard Cribbins. Known best to Doctor Who fans as the Doctor’s friend and Donna’s grandad Wilfred Mott, Bernard leaves behind a long legacy in film and TV. — Bernard Joseph Cribbins (29 December 1928 – 28 July 2022)

“His first day was on location with Kylie Minogue, but all eyes, even Kylie’s, were on Bernard. He’d turned up with a suitcase full of props, just in case, including a rubber chicken. And what an actor. Oh, really though, what a wonderful actor. We once took him to the TV Choice Awards and sent him up on his own to collect the award, and the entire room stood up and cheered him. That’s a lovely memory. He’d phone up and say, ‘I’ve got an idea! What if I attack a Dalek with a paintball gun?!’ Okay, Bernard, in it went! He loved Gill with all his heart; he mentioned her in every conversation we ever had. A love story for the ages. I’m so lucky to have known him. Thanks for everything, my old soldier. A legend has left the world.”  — Russell T. Davies
