Doctor Who 5x8 Hungry Earth - Early Access CLEAN

If you don't have young ones there's no reason you should know The Gruffalo but I loved reading it to my kids, doing the voices etc. it's a great book. Also, in the role of Nasreen Chaudhry is a very well know and respected comedienne called Meera Syal, probably best known in the UK for a comedy sketch show in the late 90's called Goodness Gracious Me which poked fun at British popular culture from an Asian perspective with her then co-star, now husband, Sanjeev Bhaskar. I highly recommend looking up "Going Out for an English" on YT, it's hilarious. Great stuff as always Jules, glad I only have to wait a day now for the second part. <3

In all the years I've been watching this, I've never paid attention to the Doctor's ties before, but now that you've mentioned it, I'll be obsessed with it as well as I watch along with you to try and figure it out 😂

BORING SCIENCE: The Silurian Period occurred 443mil. years ago and last 24.8 mil. years. Life on Earth at that time was mostly aquatic, although some plants had started to creep up onto the shores. No dinosaurs yet, although the Silurian race does resemble the Sleestaks from the old Saturday morning TV show LAND OF THE LOST.

An entire reptilian civilization in the crust of the Earth. Juliette: 'Ooh! A red tie!' Welcome to the NuWho Crew.

One of the ways to resolve the whole Time Travel Paradox issues is to make a rule: whatever event happens to a time traveler happens, regardless of whether subsequent travel negates that event. There is precedent for this: in the Season 3 finale, when the Master's plan was unmade, everyone on the Valiant still remembered it happening. Take note of this law. It will become important later. Mwahahahaha.

It’s sort of a tradition for Doctors to have a core outfit but to swap little parts of their clothing. For instance, Tennant swapped between a white shirt and a light blue shirt every once a while. He also had a blue suit with a red tie that he would use sometimes. I think this was particularly notable with 11 because of how much attention is drawn to his choice of appearance haha.

"But we've seen her 10 years in the future, she's fine, right?" One of the single most important rules of understanding Doctor Who is that time can be rewritten. Unless it can't be. Unless there is an exception. Unless the writers wants it to be. Or not. Doctor Who is so inconsistent in this that you can't be sure of anything according to logic. In other shows or books this annoys me but in Doctor Who i accepted it as part of the concept... The answer to that problem that is almost convincing is that only timelords can see whether something is a "fixed point in time" or not, whether there will be a disaster when timelines cross or not. Essentially: What works for the current episode/season/plot idea.

Juliette, don't beat yourself up if you're not finding a significance to the bow tie color. There really is none (as in "intended"), but there are fun fan theories about it. Maybe you'll come up with some of them. (It even isn't an easter egg as far as I know, but there was a popular fan theory that it were. But that one is also wrong because it isn't consistant.) To quote the 8th doctor: "I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there. "

Another great reaction was on YouTube and seen your video playing tavern simulator so I thought I'd give it a go and enjoy the simple tavern life 😂

Fun fact, there's actually a scientific theory about intelligent life on earth before humans and it's called the Silurian Theory, named after the Doctor Who creatures. The academics who came up with the theory were huge fans of the show.

The Silurians are old friends/foes of The Doctor. They first appeared in 1970, during the Third Doctor’s reign (Jon Pertwee). In ‘72 an amphibious offshoot of the Silurians appeared…The Sea Devils. Again facing off against Three. They were not seen again until 1984’s Warriors of the Deep, where the Silurians and Sea Devils combine forces against Peter Davidson’s Fifth Doctor. And they were never heard from again. Until now. 😎

After Amy's, "Did you shush me? Did you JUST SHOOSH ME?!" scene, I couldn't help but imagine Donna in that last scene. "Oye, you stay away from me with that thing. If you touch me, oh boy are you gonna get it! Doctor! Doctor, get in here!. DOCTOR! DOCTOR! DOCTOOOOOOOOOR!" outro.

I love the scene where Eleven is talking to Alaya, you see the world weary old man once he let's the energetic youthful mask drop, Matt Smith is just so damn good!

It's set in 2020. You shouldn't be looking for blue bow ties, you should be looking for blue covid masks!

About the ties! There is a reason between the red or blue tie. It's not an important plot thing, but it does have a meaning behind it. :) I don't think we're supposed to take it as "the Doctor making a choice as he gets dresses" as much as it's a sort of easter egg... See if you can figure it out! :)
