Doctor Who Season 14 Poster

She has look flat down the lens several clock time and said things a video character should really have no rightfulness to know . So , it ’s tough to cut her referring to the TARDIS and the Doctor of the Church ’s life as a " show"without read more into it .

So , it takes a lot for a specific time and topographic point to be off limit to the Doctor and his blue box . Because of this , it very seldom happen , but a similar example comes to head demand Matt Smith ’s Eleventh Doctor . Smith ’s looping of the show ’s main character stayed off from Trenzalore , like to how Gatwa is being forced away from Earth .

Eleven was making a witting determination not to go to Trenzalore , but it was physically possible for him to go there .

Of course , the comparison is n’t precise . Eleven was construct a witting decision not to go to Trenzalore , but it was physically possible for him to go there . Instead , it was more of a psychological pulley-block end him from making the journey . Fifteen ’s situation is fairly much the exact opposite of Eleven ’s .
