Even if you are a "doctor who" with just going through the knowledge of the massive, six-decade-plus BBC history, you probably know that the cult file has embedded some procedural aspects, no matter who the current doctor or which person oversees the show at a certain time. In the modern era of the doctor, there may be a seasonal nail polish, such as the bad wolf nail polish from the first modern season with Christopher Ecclestone or when the master became Missy for Peter Capaldi. But within that bow, there is a tendency to have episodes that occur in the distant future, as well as the episodes in which the doctor inevitably interferes with the home life of their latest companion. And, there is almost always at least one episode set in a certain Mina era of British history, allowing the doctor to encounter figures in real life like Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth, and even the famous mystery writer Agatha Christie.

When the doctor, as David Tennant and his companion Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) play, played with Agatha Christie (Fenela Vulgar) in the 2008 episode called "Unicorn and Osa", feels inevitable. (Perhaps almost as inevitable as a Tennant playing a doctor, the climax of Lifetime sleep.) Few are so big over British culture as his prime minister of mystery, and the doctor is nothing if it is not an examining species that ends in investigations, so fulfilling the legendary figure makes the perfect sense. On the face of it, in which it seems to be quite funny (in a good way) a mix of science and history, because Christie disappears as the shape is killing people similar to how the characters in their own works of Christie die. But as difficult as it is, this episode is actually based. Well, something.

The Fourth-Series Episode "The Unicorn and the Wasps" Sets the Doctor and Donna Into the World of Mid-1920s English Upper-Crust Society, Not Realizing Until It is Almost Too Late That Only Is Agiat. At the same party they have invited them to, but that they have happen to have arrived on the same day in 1926 disappeared, for real. In the show, the disappearance of Christie is linked to the arrival of a foreigner known as the verseshrforfar that looks like a huge, murderous wasp. Although Christie's herself has not been found to be supernatural in some way, her presence at the party is such that the doctor and Donna cannot be accurately confused in the recorded history, allowing Her to be unconscious and to get amnesia, after which they return to civilization ten days later, no worse.

What actually happened will always be, appropriate enough, something of a mystery. Christie is known to have disappeared in early December 1926 and that it was discovered 11 days later with what seemed to be original and serious memory loss. In real life, Christie and her husband Archie were going through such an intense rough patch that when she disappeared, some assumed that he might have tried to kill her (or that she may have died with suicide because of their tight relationship). The most amazing aspect of the disappearance, which probably allowed the "doctor who" to write staff to use this event as an essential element of the episode, is that there is still no confirmation of why it disappeared or what happened in 11 days between its disappearance and return. Obviously, there was no alien was involved, but also ... we don't know what actually was The problem that led to its disappearance.

As stated above, a "doctor who" is nothing if he is not a fondicist of British history just like his place in that cultural history. Only during modern episodes groups, broadcasting since 2005, the doctor has come across all Santa Claus (as Nick Frost plays) to Ebenzer Scrooge Apartment-in (as Michael Gambon plays) and other unforgettable Britons among. And in the same direction, the show is trying (to some extent) to be aware of true history, not only in alluding current events and leaders, but in recognizing the limitations of what the doctor can and cannot do. He, for example, could ensure that Agatha Christie was not attacked and killed by someone else's wasp. However, he cannot do it, so Christie does not disappear for 11 days; This still needs to happen within the historical record, even if the details should never be revealed or excavated.

However, the freedom of the doctor and his companions in the trip with the huge range of space and time is one of the most attractive aspects of the "doctor who". Although there are procedural elements, and certain types of strangers to face the Galifrean doctor, even though some of the science fantastic aspects of the show are often a charming cleaner, it's all in the service of the show that was always meant to like all age. Sometimes, one child can only enjoy looking at the action and uncertainty of an episode, but the show is also designed to give its old audience to look at true history, even if you do not understand at the time how likely one of the most famous 20 -century English writers have almost had a much shorter legacy. The episode "Unicorn and wasps" can be extremely stupid and silly. (It's not like this installment to make it to the page List of 12 best episodes of Tennant) But the creative choices that led to its existence are both fascinating and admirable.
