| |
| '''''The Timeless Children''''' was the tenth and final episode of [[series 12 (Doctor Who)|series 12]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
| |
| | |
| The episode brought to light an account of [[the Doctor]]'s origins in which, [[The Doctor's early life|prior]] to becoming the [[First Doctor]], they had lived many forgotten lives as the [[Timeless Child]]. This new thread in the ongoing tapestry brings the Doctor, [[The Other|once again]], to the forefront of [[Gallifreyan history|Time Lord history]].
| |
| | |
| In this new account, the Timeless Child was discovered near a [[boundary]] to another dimension or reality by the [[Shobogan (species)|Shobogan]] traveller [[Tecteun]], who took her in as her own. Their [[regeneration|regenerative]] abilities were attentively studied by Tecteun, and eventually replicated. This is put forward as the true origin of regeneration on [[Gallifrey]]. A radical result of this [[retroactive continuity]] is that the Doctor, in their earliest lives, was the biological template upon which [[Time Lord]] society was founded.
| |
| | |
| It also offers a new explanation for pre-Hartnell incarnations like the so-called [[The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)|"Morbius" Doctors]], and continues to push the mystery around the [[The Doctor (Fugitive of the Judoon)|"Fugitive" Doctor]] played by [[Jo Martin]].
| |
| | |
| ''The Timeless Children'' also brought another redesign of the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] not long after the warrior-class Cybermen in ''[[Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)|Ascension of the Cybermen]]'' in the form of [[CyberMaster]]s - a branch created by the Master with the ability to regenerate.
| |
| | |
| The episode also brought about another shift in the current status quo, with the Doctor's companions, [[Ryan Sinclair|Ryan]], [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]], and [[Yasmin Khan|Yaz]] being returned to the [[21st century]] without the Doctor, for their own protection, with the group still being separated by the end of the episode.
| |
| | |
| == Synopsis ==
| |
| [[Gallifrey]] is dead, [[the Master]] is in control of an army of [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] ready to take over the universe, and [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]], [[Ryan Sinclair|Ryan]], and [[Yasmin Khan|Yaz]] are trapped, being hunted down with the last remnants of humanity. But for [[Thirteenth Doctor|the Doctor]], one question remains... Who is the [[Timeless Child]]?

| |
| | |
| == Crew ==
| |
| ''to be added''
| |
| | |
| == References ==
| |
| === Species ===
| |
| * [[Shobogan (species)|Shobogans]] were the original indigenous species of [[Gallifrey]], who later genetically altered themselves into the [[Time Lord]]s thanks to [[Tecteun]]'s research.
| |
| * The [[Timeless Child's species]] are a species from another reality or dimension that have the ability to [[Regeneration|regenerate]] infinitely and continuously change their appearance. Because of Tecteun's research, their [[DNA]] was placed into the Shobogans's DNA and thus created the Time Lords.
| |
| | |
| === Biology ===
| |
| * [[Time Lord]]s had red [[blood]]; {{Dhawan}} mentioned that a "[[red carpet]]" was such because it was "drenched in the blood of [his] people".
| |
| | |
| === Organisations ===
| |
| * An early incarnation of the Doctor was recruited by [[The Division]], an organisation which officially did not exist nor had operatives and acted against the [[non-interference policy]] of the Time Lords.
| |
| | |
| === Culture ===
| |
| * When showing the destroyed Citadel to the Doctor, the Master references "[[Ozymandias]]", a sonnet by [[Percy Shelley]].
| |
| * When the Master requests an alliance with the Cyberium, he references the TV show ''[[The Apprentice]]'', claiming he "deserves to be its business partner, because he has performed well in all the tasks", which was a common excuse used to become [[Alan Sugar|Lord Sugar]]'s business partner.
| |
| * The Time Lord's secret origins being cloaked by lies be similar to those of the super-intelligent apes on the [[Planet of the Apes]] franchise.
| |
| | |
| === Weapons ===
| |
| * One [[death particle]] was able to wipe out all organic life on a planet.
| |
| | |
| == Story notes ==
| |
| * This episode used the same kind of "[[cold opening]]" used in ''[[Spyfall (TV story)|Spyfall: Part Two]]''; a recap of the preceding episode.
| |
| * This episode had the most extensive use of archive footage in any of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episodes or any other media, and indeed any of the spin-offs as of 2020.
| |
| * Tecteun's and the Timeless Child's regenerations mark the first time female to male regeneration has been seen onscreen. However, the first depiction of a female regenerating into a male in any media was in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Enemy Lines (audio story)|Enemy Lines]]''. In the case of the Timeless Child multiple regenerations were shown, both female to male and male to female.
| |
| * The episode's cliffhanger ending calls back to the cliffhanger endings of both ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' and ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'', in which the dumbfounded Doctor repeatedly utters the word "what?" in response to the events suddenly and rapidly unfolding around them.
| |
| * This episode is the first time in the show's history, discounting full red and full blue from various previous stories, that clips from the [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]] eras have been shown in colour.
| |
| * This marks the second time the [[Doctor Who theme|theme music]] has been used during a TV story, playing across the Doctor's [[The Matrix|Matrix]] mind-blow-up sequence. The first time was in ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]''.
| |
| * This story confirms that the faces in the mind battle with [[Morbius]] in ''[[The Brain of Morbius (TV story)|The Brain of Morbius]]'' are incarnations of the Doctor, something long debated amongst fans.
| |
| * ''The Timeless Children'' made such a huge impact on the fandom as a whole that the episode made it into the satirical website ''News Thump''.<ref>https://newsthump.com/2020/03/02/tardis-changes-from-police-box-to-dumpster-on-fire/</ref>
| |
| * The episode used an anagram for actor [[Sacha Dhawan]] on the ''Doctor Who'' website; "Barack Stemis" which, if re-arranged, means "Master is Back" and playing a false character called "Fakout".<ref name="Fakout">https://twitter.com/0_MattWhelan_0/status/1230222077300482050</ref><ref name="Stemis">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000g09m</ref> This tactic, discounting in-universe examples from [[2007]]'s ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]''/''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]''/''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'', has not been seen on television since ''[[The King's Demons (TV story)|The King's Demons]]'' in [[1983]]. Back then it was used in the credits of the episode. Another more recent example is [[Mark Gatiss]] being credited, in the old tradition, as [[Sam Kisgart]], for his role as a [[The Master (Sympathy for the Devil)|parallel universe Master]], though this was more of a tongue-in-cheek reference to the classic trope than a genuine attempt at audience subterfuge.
