Things She Thought While Falling was a short story written by Chris Chibnall on the Doctor Who website and acted as a prequel to series 11 of Doctor Who, namely The Woman Who Fell to Earth.

Publisher's summary

Hello! We’re living through some strange times right now.

With people staying home, and families stuck together, I thought maybe a few little presents from Doctor Who might help. Something to read, together or alone. New treats, from the people who make Doctor Who.

We’ll try and post things here once or twice a week. Later this week, we’ll have a never-before-published treat written by Russell T Davies.

To start us off, I’ve written a few words about what went through the Thirteenth Doctor’s head, immediately after she regenerated and was thrown out her TARDIS.

Stay safe.

The Doctor

  • The Doctor wished her ragged old clothes had a built-in parachute.
  • The Doctor is still in the middle of the regeneration process and can feel her body burn and change as she tumbles through the sky.
  • The Doctor can calculate where she is by sticking out her tongue and feeling the air.
  • The Doctor is capable of 3007 thoughts in 3 seconds, and wondered if counting them at the same time would count as 3008 thoughts.
  • The Doctor's immediate predecessor is arguing with her inside her mind.
  • The Doctor complains about not having X-ray vision, something she claims to always have wanted.

TARDIS

  • The Doctor claims her TARDIS is "Dematerialexploding", a combination of dematerialising and exploding, before reminding herself that it's not a word.
