    I've often wondered if the scene where Jack explains to The Doctor and Martha that he was once called "The Face of Boe" might have been a bit unscripted. They way their faces just fall in shock and it almost seems like Tennant forgot his next line just feels really genuine to me. If the reaction was scripted and they knew the information in advance, then bravo to their performances. If not... We all know how they feel.

      The one thing that sticks out to me about that reveal is that Martha references the face of boe right in front of jack when they’re working to send the ship to utopia and they show the YANA acronym. Why didn’t he mention anything about that?

    Love this! In the series 2 episode School Reunion there's a scene where the tenth doctor walks into a room and rose tyler and sarah jane smith start laughing hysterically at him. To help this scene along the make up artist drew a fake moustache on david tennant's face which is what made billie piper and elisabeth sladen laugh so much as they wasn't expecting this! Also on the subject of unexpected kisses, don't forget about when jackie tyler pulled the tenth doctor in for an unwelcome kiss in the series 2 episode Army of Ghosts! 😂😂

    Tom Baker isn't the only doctor who is petrified of water. Peter Davison can't swim, and came dangerously close to drowning for real during the filming of A Very Peculiar Practice.
    This was filmed at the pool at Warwick University, and my friend was working there as a lifeguard and pool caretaker at the time. He recognised that Peter was not acting, and dived in to rescue him.
    From what I gather, Peter (understandably) refused to reshoot the scene, so you can see my friend in a couple of the shots.

      Frazer and Patrick tried to do a lot of improv, during their time, as they knew the recording could only be stopped for big mystakes. They got away with mischief. 😉 There is a story when “evil of the Daleks” was being film, and Jamie found a handkerchief that was to be a clue to Victoria. Frazer held up a pair of knickers/Panty instead. Debbie W’ was horrified. This was during rehearsals, not the finished episodes (now, Animated) -likely the BBC wouldn’t allow that in 1967.

    I started watching Doctor Who in the early months of 2012 so by that time, most questions about River Song had already been answered. But I do wonder how long it was before the cast (not the characters) knew. It would have been really awesome for the actors to have found out in A GOOD MAN GOES TO WAR as that's when the characters found out. I'd like to think that Matt Smith was generally learning the same time that the Doctor did.

I believe many of the cast actually tried to bribe Alex Kingston into telling them who river truly was

    At the end of the 50th anniversary, John Hurt asks which TARDIS is his before working it out. That was totally unscripted as he genuinely didn't know which of the 3 was indeed his.
    Edit - As an old Whovian then I totally forgot about the time Patrick reached for his companion's hand and ended up grabbing Jamie's with a hilarious reaction that was thankfully kept in!
    I know there are more as I recall some with Tom Baker that my grandfather (the original Whovian) pointed out when I was a little kid watching Tom. It's going to drive me bloody bonkers now.

    The most egregious of the Hartnell-isms I can remember is from the Web Planet. Wandering around an alien landscape with it's thin atmosphere, protected by their special jackets (ah, early science theories :P), the Doctor seems to suddenly think his friend has turned into a sofa and calls him Chesterfield a number of times. Must have been that thin air, or maybe just jacket was on the blink.

    Gonna speculate for a sec. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. There is a tendency to think of a Time Lords life as being linear like a humans. But I postulate that their lives are not so straight and narrow as that. On several occasions the Doctor has met himself and did not remember doing so. It is waved away as the Dre being "out of phase with time" or that he knew hew would not remember till later and such. I think he does not know himself. So. I postulate, not even a theory, that the time in which one "regeneration lives" is not as short or linear as we think of it. When a regeneration dies it disapears into the vortex or void or whatever it's called this week. I say it is completely possible that the 4trh Doctor is still alive. He's just not exactly a Time Lord any ,more. He's the Curator now. He gets to retire and do something peaceful while he continues to adventure with another face. Remember these ARE all the same person. So, when he does meet himself, he may well be meeting that person after they regenerated, even if they were taken form a time before that happened. More wiiblewy than wobbley there but you get the idea. And it would explain the lack or remembering.

    The thing with art is that the most amazing things happen by accident.
    The list is endless, especially in music where most of the classic songs happen by accident. Mistakes in the mix, lyrics written about nothing, faulty equipment, background noise. Noel Gallagher is probably the king of meaningless lyrics.
    It's a conundrum because artists of any form are perfectionists but also have be able to leave something as it is.

Jon Pertwee was my first Dr.(preferences it was too scary before that ! Though I was allowed to watch Lost in Space -mostly from behind the sofa looking through my fingers 😂)I would have to say 10 is my all time fave followed equally by 11and12,the the Master it would be Missy followed by John Sim's portrayal.Missy showed that the Master still had a tiny spark compassion and a fondness for the Dr.While John Sim buried that and returned to the spiteful megalomaniac .
