They may look monovular to the naked eye , but it ’s affirm not only that they ’re aliens , but also that they ’ve never heard of Belinda ’s race .

The near - human species in " The Well " is the second inDoctor Whoseason 15 to seem as though they ’re from Earth . The first was Missbelindachandrakind , with the population being freed from subjugation at theend ofDoctor Whoseason 15 , episode 1 , " The Robot Revolution . “That same episode also establish the reasonwhy the TARDIS ca n’t take Belinda home , which also explain where all the homo have gone by the time of " The Well .

mankind were all wiped out in one swift blow , so there are none of them left to keep the species from fading into reconditeness .

Although sure moments are restore in time , most events are n’t guaranteed to happen or be avoided - and that includes the Earth being reduced to debris .

Both of the Fifteenth Doctor ’s primary companion have an incredibly similar import in their various backstories , if not whole superposable .

In other parole , just because Earth ’s post-2025 time to come has been demonstrate inDoctor Whoalready , it does n’t mean that it ca n’t all be switch . If the Earth ’s guard was always assured by the fact that the Doctor had visited its future , then he ’d never be concern whenever the satellite came under scourge in the present daylight .
