World Enough And Time // The Power Of The Doctor

Kate Carin (Costume Designer): I was very adamant that I would need manufacturing on this job, because it gives you an opportunity to create things that you can't just find on the shelf and you can then really create worlds. I felt that Shax's, for me, from the outset, was always going to be red. In her final look when she comes back to lead the demons in the battle against the angels, I said to her, 'Will you wear a red leather catsuit?' And she said, 'Yes.' So we made her a red leather catsuit. And then I said to her, 'What about if we give you really, really great kind of animalistic shoulders?' So we made her huge leather, scaly shoulders, which she also donned, no problem at all. You'll see on the front of her armour is the stork, which is the Shax's demon's creature animal, so we had that embossed.

Sarah-Kate Fenelon (Producer): It's like the Neil Gaiman version of whata demon would wear when they were going, you know, she looks fabulous, but she also looks fierce.

Miranda Richardson (Shax): It's amazing. My many pointed armoured breastplate, which is very useful for anything that anybody wants to get rid of before a shot. I can just tuck up there. I've got my phone up there, I've got my script sides up there, coffee up there, you know. (video)

Some perfectly normal Doctor Who factoids

The Master is canonically Rasputin.

Time Lords can all levitate and fly. The Doctor seems to forget this.

The Doctor is canonically Merlin.

There are two different explanations for the Loch Ness Monsters.

The Doctor once had a talking penguin as a companion.

Vampires are a canon species.

Tegan and Nyssa have such a strong queer subtext to their friendship that there is a wiki page online dedicated to it.

Speaking of Nyssa, she once got turned into a vampire and became obsessed with eating Tegan.

Ace McShane once fell in love with a cat-girl.

The Doctor is both a semi-mythical figure in the founding of time lord society, as well as also being the reason for the time lords having regenerative abilities. They are also just a run-of-the-mill time lord who ran away from Gallifrey. All of these are equally canon.

The Doctor once broke the fourth wall to wish the viewers a Merry Christmas.

The Third Doctor knows various martial arts.

It's implied that Time Lords cannot get drunk on alcohol unless they drink ginger beer beforehand.

The Eighth Doctor was once sentenced to death and promptly demanded to die in the nude.

The Doctor effectively kidnapped their first companions.

Time Lords reproduce via a technology known as looms.

URGENT NOTICE

The student known as Torvic has been reported missing by his roommates and several of his tutors. Classmates recall seeing him last at dinner two nights ago, where he announced he was “heading down to the River Lethe to have some fun.” He has not been seen since. Various students may be asked to report to the council for questioning. Any leads as to Torvic’s whereabouts will be considered invaluable.

Students are advised to stay alert in the meantime.

I love good endings 👁️👄👁️

I become the person who wresked me.

Circular Gallifreyan writing. If anyone can read it I will marry them.

In case you can't read it, it says

Hey missy you so fine, you so fine, you blow my mind, hey missy!

(I apologise if I have made any grammatical or punctuational mistakes)

my dealer: got some straight gas. this strain is called “the time war” youll be zonked out of your gourd

me: yeah whatever I don’t feel anything

me five minutes later: dude i swear i just saw some daleks out in the forest

my buddy Philiploritreludar pacing: the high council of gallifrey is lying to us

He’ll probably get a commendation from Hell for all this crap. See you in October, Crowley.
