Waiter: follow me, number nine!
Doctor: how'd you know that?
Doctor: of course! You meant the table!
everyone always acts so aghast about the whole “the doctor kidnapped his first companions!” thing which yeah obviously terrifying from ian and barbara’s pov but you really gotta look at it from the angle of “guy who just ran away from home comes across someone breaking into his car and in a panic locks the doors hits the gas and now they’re all very very lost” and then it becomes hysterical
given the reputation the Doctor later built up. do you think the First Doctor ever arrived on a planet on the brink of disaster and the inhabitants recognised him and were like !!! it’s the Doctor! the famous hero! he’ll save us from the Blorgons! and he was like ‘hm what are you talking about I don’t interfere in things like that’ and then just set up a deckchair and watched their civilisation burn

A re-draw of a piece I did in 2017. This was posted on my Patreon a few weeks ago with a side by side comparison. You can see this plus a bunch of other Ninth Doctor content there if you join!
The fact that Billie Piper's casting in Doctor Who was initially so negatively received by the fanbase, only for her to become literally the most recognisable companion of all time, has to be one of my favourite success stories.
