Prem and Umbreen enlist the Doctor to provide a non-denominational blessing to their marriage after their previous officiant got murdered by the groom’s brother. Meanwhile, Amy (Karen Gillan) summons him to hers. The Doctor (David Tennant, Matt Smith and Jodie Whittaker) crashes the wedding of Peter (Nigel Havers) and Sarah Jane (Elisabeth Sladen), marries Prem (Shane Zaza) and Umbreen (Amita Suman), gets married to Elizabeth I (Joanna Page), and gets married to River Song (Alex Kingston) too. Even despite her better judgement to the contrary. It’s a nice parallel that Demons of the Punjab sees the Thirteenth Doctor trying to live up to that commitment. In fact, she later grumbles that her problem is that she’s only brought the TARDIS to the Punjab because she’s “too kind.” “Be kind,” said the Twelfth Doctor just before he let the Doctor go.
She keeps moving between the possible dangers and her desire to be kind. Listen carefully to the Doctor’s inner conflict about whether to bring Yaz back in time. “Be Kind”, the Twelfth Doctor’s (Peter Capaldi) final advance to his Thirteenth self. So what that does mean for Demons in the Punjab? Perhaps the Reapers couldn’t come back even if Yaz somehow had prevented Prem’s death? Or do the Time Lords’ current low profile mean they wouldn’t intervene? However, she expresses her concern about Yaz accidentally writing herself out of existence (an idea the Twelfth Doctor pooh-poohed in Thin Ice). On that occasion, the Doctor claims the Time Lords would generally prevent the Reapers from breaking through. And in the end, Pete has to make the ultimate sacrifice to put things right. The whole world is devoured except for the holdouts in a single old church. That time Rose couldn’t resist the temptation to change a fixed point in time and broke open Time itself to let the Reapers in. It’s understandable, really, given what happened when she brought Rose Tyler back in time to meet her dead father Pete. The Doctor is troubled by the idea of bringing a companion back into her own family history for a look. Rose (Billie Piper) meets her father Pete (Shaun Dingwall), and Yaz (Mandip Gill) meets her great-grandmother Hasna (Shaheen Kahn) (c) BBC Studios Father’s Grandmother’s Day In this case, the Doctor uses Yaz’s Nani’s broken watch to travel back to see the young Umbreen in the 24 hours before its screen was smashed. They can pick up impressions left on an object by the owner to track them back to a crucial moment. Here they’re almost more like ‘psychic circuits’. In Dark Water, their function is stretched further, when Clara’s thoughts of Danny are used to try and locate him in the afterlife.ĭemons of the Punjab stretches the telepathic navigation circuits still further. And then Listen, where they bring the Doctor and Clara on a tour of the Pink family’s past and future. It became more important in episodes like The Name of the Doctor, where the Doctor uses them to find Trenzalore. It was in the DVD extra Good Night that the Eleventh Doctor, with typical whimsy, revealed the telepathic circuits can locate the exact time and place of a passenger’s saddest memory – and uses it to allow Amy to buy her childhood self a replacement ice cream after her own falls.
(No wonder if the Doctor later installed the Cloister Bell as an alternative.) But it wasn’t until 1973’s Frontier in Space they received their name.īut the idea of being able to set the TARDIS’s destination with them is a relatively new idea. Then the Doctor and Susan both suffer from confusion and headaches when the ship tries to warn them of disaster. In fact, you could argue they go right the way back to 1964’s The Edge of Destruction. The TARDIS’ telepathic circuits have been an element in Doctor Who long before Demons of the Punjab. The telepathic circuits take Amy (Karen Gillan) and the Doctor (Matt Smith) into her own childhood, the new TARDIS console, and Clara (Jenna Coleman) uses the telepathic circuits (c) BBC Studios Telepathic Piloting Perhaps you are a very knowledgeable Whovian already but did you spot them all? So even if you are not already a Mastermind expert on all things in the Whoniverse, you can appreciate the little detail as well. This time its the turn of Demons of the Punjab.
