I have no time for people who compare the new Doctor Who episode to a Sylvester McCoy story like it’s a bad thing.

Watched this again last night ^_^
It’s so cute when he tries to look stern with her.
psst I never liked it when she called you professor either, Doctor.It’s literally the only thing I can think of that isn’t perfect about Ace, but I got used to it because I think I’d be willing to let Ace call me whatever the hell she wanted to.
Silver Nemesis: I’m a good girl. I do what I’m told.
I have a sudden interest in Seventh Doctor stories
I love Seven and Ace so much.
and then they became the bestest best Space Bros and everything was beautiful
I love them, and their relationship, and this scene, but I have to say that early on, I thought Ace had some kind of Pokemon-esque affliction that caused her to occasionally only be able to communicate using her own name. I’m glad that sort of faded out.
Please help me prove a point. Reblog this if you love Sylvester McCoy’s Doctor.
“Don’t you have things you hate?”
I can’t stand how good Ace looks in a suit.I mean, nice words, Doctor.
No, I mean both.
I’m sorry, Doctor, were you talking? I couldn’t hear you over how unbelievably attractive your companion is.
Women. Not my field.
Shooty things. Totes my field.
Seventh Doctor - “Yes, that’s right. You’re going. You’ve been gone for ages. You’re already gone. You’re still here. You’ve just arrived. I haven’t even met you yet. It all depends on who you are and how you look at it. Strange business, time.”

If classic Doctor Who serials were named like episodes of Friends: The Happiness Patrol
The Happiness Patrol Review
“I only wanted the best for them!” exclaimed Helen A.
“The best?” said the Doctor, aghast. “Prisons? Death squads? Executions?”
“They only came later!” Her face was a mask of grief. “I told them to be happy, but they wouldn’t listen! I gave them every chance. Oh, I know they laughed sometimes, but they still cried, they still wept!”
“The overall look of the production is almost laughable making it impossible to even take seriously from the start.” - Mark Irvin
“Not an essential piece of Doctor Who viewing by any means.” - Benjamin Bland
“Before the dowdy painted backdrops of Terra Alpha stand the gaudy colours of the Happiness Patrol themselves. It’s like lurching from one extreme to the other between each celluloid scene. Instead of complementing the design they simply undermine it further, looking as they do extremely silly.” - John Anderson
“the show is an embarrassment about nothing in particular” - Peter G. Henn
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to one of my favorite Doctor Who stories of all time.
