    Again my own opinion but I'd probably say the % of great episodes for SNW is way higher that any other Trek show*, and obviously a great part of that is down to the reduced episode count.

    *Which doesn't mean SNW is my favourite Trek show but it probably is top 3/4 now.

    Not surprising Pertwee is his favourite.

    No mention of Hurt or Martin I notice, well that might confuse things I guess! He does clearly see Pertwee as a kindred spirit doesn't he!

    Well, he did specify "core Doctors" at the beginning.

    I liked that video...until the video's purpose shifted in highlighting the companions in the modern era as if the idea of each Doctor having multiple companions was a new idea. I found that really jarring. Very nitpicky and I get why they did it that way, but it still bugged me (especially considering Ncuti's reaction to The Tenth Doctor being a player).

    In the context of the video, which is highlighting the different production eras, their absence made sense to me.

    It's funny you highlight his comments on the tenth Doctor, because I felt like his comments on the eleventh suggested gangbangs in the TARDIS! (Yes, while I firmly believe the Doctor and Clara were FWBs by "The Day of the Doctor," I just can't at all see Amy/Rory/Doctor gangbags.)

    The TARDIS makes an appearance on the recent episode of Young Sheldon and Sheldon is dressed as the 7th Doctor.

    On a similar note, an alien ship greatly resembled the TARDIS in a recent episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which featured David Tennant as the alien who owned the ship.

    Someone doesn't know the right filters for A Teaspoon and an Open Mind...

    Nitpick, 2 guys 1 girl isn't actually a gangbang. That's just MMF threesome.

    How are they not core Doctors and yet McGann was? The line makes sense to discount the Morbius Eight, the 60s big screen flicks, the stageplay incarnation, sure. But not the primary venue of officially made BBC entries. Hurt and Martin count. More than McGann, in that regard, arguably.

    Not really. Both were told in their stories fairly well and are easily given as much a quick summary as the rest, taking even less effort than the summary for Six's. So why would they be ignored?

    Because Paul McGann was lead actor (even if it was just for one production) while John Hurt and Jo Martin were basically just guest stars.

    It's pretty easy, they even number them...

    15 first appears with his tie undone and no pants, like he was in the middle of getting dressed. Does this mean this is the state 14 will be in when he dies? He’s going to die in his underwear? How undignified.

    No, since one person split into two people, they each got half of the clothes he was wearing.

    Unlike previously, when the clothes (from a charity shop) regenerated with The Doctor. Because it would have just been embarrassing to have Tennant in tight unisex but girly clothes. Ncuti can just have some pants though. Like he forgot his PE kit.
    Where did Thirteen get her pants? Charity shops don’t do those. Did she just stick with whatever Capaldi was wearing? The questions this all raises about the Doctors clothing options of late really need the Pixley approach.

    It's the Sun so... https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/21583391/i-wear-used-undies-saved-me-hundreds/

    But I also found a Mumsnet post suggesting Oxfam occasionally have M&S knickers on sale where the shop has remaindered them.

    I doubt you'd be this interested in a male Doctor's undercoverings, to be honest.

    I don’t think I am interested in any of them. Except to say Ncuti should have had effing trousers on, by the standards of the regen just three episodes prior.
    Saying that… back when I was in my ‘dress like the Doctor or at least Doctorish (and also Ace for a while) stage’ that I am sure is perfectly normal, I absolutely would have based clothing choices on what the Doctors wore.
    (I almost shared TMI there on one clothing choice in fact lol)

    I am shocked to see used undies being…sold for their intended purpose mind you. They are generally unreturnable, and not sure it’s the healthiest option.

    An FYI, in Britain "no pants" means something completely different than what you're saying. In British terms, Fifteen was indeed wearing pants.
