Montgolfier brothers

The Montgolfier brothers were French brothers who invented a kind of hot air balloon. When the Eighth Doctor brought Christian and Madeline de Roche into his TARDIS, he claimed it was a hot air balloon made from a design by the Montgolfier brothers. Madame De Roche was excited by the revelation because the Montgolfiers were French like herself. (AUDIO: Other Lives)

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

The brothers were referenced in the Doctor Who Annual 1977 feature The Airship Rises to Fame, which explained that they invented the first ever hot air balloon in 1784.
