Doctor Who

Doctor Whohas at last returned with “ The Robot Revolution , ” the first episode in the show ’s fifteenth season . The story sees the creation of Varada Sethu ’s fiber Belinda Chandra , who will interchange Ruby Sunday as the Doctor ’s full - time fellow traveller in the forthcoming instalment . She ’s an first-class plus toDoctor Who ’s form , and one of her lines in this week ’s instalment has already made her a fan favorite .

medico Who ’s novel premiere had a very complex timelineand plenty of time - travel twist that surely mat up like “ classic”Doctor Whoin many slipway , and the playscript even featured an obvious reference to Russell T. Davies ’ late era as showrunner . However , the occupation may actually have been poking fun at his long - time collaborator and fellowDoctor Whowriter , Steven Moffat . The brace have worked on this show since it was brought back in 2005 , and Moffat was a frequent invitee writer during David Tennant ’s geological era .

Belinda’s Response To “Timey-Wimey” Playfully Mocks The Famous Tenth Doctor Line

The Companion Isn’t Charmed By His Immature Catchphrase

The phrase“Timey - Wimey ” was first mint by Stephen Moffatt in “ Blink ” , one of the writer ’s earliestDoctor Whocredits , before he took over as showrunner in 2010.The terminus was used by the Doctor to describe the effects of time - locomotion to Sally Sparrow , the one - off friend played by Carey Mulligan . Since then , the phrase has lived on as a course joke to intrude sport at the show ’s compromising time - locomotion laws .

medico Who showrunner Russell T Davies breaks down the design of the time of year 15 premiere instalment ’s mechanically skillful terror and their retro influence .

In “ The Robot Revolution ” , the Doctor use the musical phrase again to explain the metre fracture that have Belinda to arrive on the alien planet long after the Doctor . However , she ’s much less accepting of the juvenile set phrase than Sally Sparrow was , repeat it back to him and add sarcastically , “ Am I six?”This subtle jibe could have been Russell T. Davies ’ means of playfully mocking Moffat ’s bank line , as it ’s one of the few iconic catchphrases from the David Tennant era that RTD did n’t come up with himself .

“Timey-Wimey” Being Used In 2025 Proves It’s Still A Great Line

The Line Has Clearly Lived On Despite The Mockery

Although it ’s undeniably childish ( as Belinda points out ) , there ’s something about the condition “ timey - wimey ” that perfectly explains the law of theDoctor Whouniverse . There are no clear time - locomotion laws , with certain second serving as “ determine point ” that ca n’t be change while the rest of the universe ’s timeline can famously be rewritten . The laws often deform to dish the story that ’s being told , and explain this all as “ timey - wimey ” is a fun way of dismissing any plot kettle of fish and criticisms that audience may have .
