Doctor Who 5x11 - Early Access Clean

The Doctor cooks like he does science. It's chaotic but ends with perfect brilliance. Or something catches fire.

Interesting Thought: if Sophie had not fallen in love with Craig, she might have become a companion.

In real life, Matt Smith is quite athletic. In fact, in the 2012 Olympics, Matt was part of the Torch relay - much like another Doctor back in Season 2.

Ah, the good old days, when James Corden wasn't one of the most hated comedians in the world...

I love this episode! I love seeing the Doctor in a “human” environment and trying to fit in. Matt Smith is so good at these subtle little moments where he says or does something so strange and alien. Loved the way he spat the wine back out! He’s a much more alien Doctor than David Tennant, who always wanted to be human so badly. I think this whole season of Doctor Who is really strong, but the finale is really fantastic!

"If he had to do that every day I'm sure very quickly the novelty would wear off for him" - you are so right... Not really a spoiler, but you might see that some time 😁

I can’t type well so I’ll just say this Thanks to a neat mixture of this episode and my weaponised autism those scrambled eggs the doctor made were my comfort food till I was 18 😂

I think he specified a red pen because the note was written in red.

Matt Smith actually played football at a pretty high level in his youth, but unfortunately a back injury kept him from the professional career that he had initially wanted. But maybe that was fortunate for us, as it allowed us to have him as the 11th Doctor!

A refreshing interlude from the heart heavy episodes we've watched for the last few weeks. Two-part season finale next and it's time to hold onto your hat. (iykyk) Great stuff as always Jules, can't wait to see your face next time.

This is an adaptation/ massive expansion of a comic from Doctor Who Magazine, but that one was from several years before, and so is about David Tennant’s Doctor having to stay with Mickey. I actually really like the “next time” preview after this episode.

I always forget how good this stretch of episodes is. From Vincent/The Lodger for some solid low-stakes episodes then one of the best season finales then my favorite christmas special then the amazing Series 6 opening. It gets crazy from here. Also just a fun fact: Matt Smith was on his way to being a professional footballer when he was young until an injury stopped him. 11th Doctor being good at football is a joke on that.

Craig was played by James Corden

Future Amy wrote the note for the Doctor above the AD for the flat. That's why he said "Amy hasn't written it yet". He said "make sure it's a red pen" as he saw the note having already been written in red ink. So, it has to be a red pen as it was already written using a red pen. Time travel!

This was a wonderful break for a bottle episode. But, it's time to put on the seat belt because it's going to get a little bumpy.
