Dr Who - Meanwhile in the TARDIS 2
We have a little Minisode 🙌 I enjoyed this one.
"A leather bikini!"
At this stage, I can't remember if we have any more minisodes to watch for series 5, so I'll have to double check! I love them. I sort of wish we'd get more. They are lots of fun to watch, and ALWAYS leave me wanting more!
Catch you all in the next episode 👋💜

i think the joke of the episode revealed the answer but: the doctor really doesn't often have male companions! there are twice as many girls over the years, and a few of the male companions are more like "help out for an episode or two" types, like jack and mickey, not full time travelers with shared billing (like rosa, martha… amy). not beating those allegations of liking pretty girls around, doctor…
totally agree with your last comment, thats why I follow reactors for my fave shows :)
I consider both Mickey and jack to have been companions. I know Mickey only traveled in the tardis for two stories, but he was on several adventures outside of that and received an invite to the tardis. And jack for sure!!!!!
I do like the analogy of Doctor-Companion and Fan-Reactor relationships. The first on-screen-companion of the Classic Doctor was his granddaughter and in a way that's the perfect companion as he describes it here.
No, really, it is over...
Another fun fact about minisodes: there have been a lot of new minisodes for CLASSIC Who filmed over the past few years. The BBC has been releasing Classic Who on blue ray, and each season they've released has gotten a little minisode announcement trailer, all of them with some of the companions from that era. (Even season 2, with the first "new" companion the show ever had.)
Did Amy really trick the Doctor, or was he just humble-bragging with the visual records of all the companion babes?
HMMM! I did think Amy tricked him, but you've given me another thought now 😂
No more minosodes this series, but there are THREE minisodes between the Christmas special and series 6, plus prequels for most of the episodes of series 6 and 7.
The Doctor needs a companion for the same reason I need a reactor!
