Mary Poppins: Difference between revisions
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
This may need to be split into a page about the character and another about the film, but in the meantime, tried to make the page better-balanced and to remove speculation (is there anything to prove the movie is from the 1960s, for instance?).

Mary Poppins was the subject of a notorious [[film]] of the same name. The [[Sixth Doctor]] watched ''Mary Poppins'' on [[television]] one [[Christmas]], during which he tried to fathom the aerodynamics of her [[umbrella]]; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas Special (ST short story)|Christmas Special]]'') this intellectual pursuit was shared by [[Andy Hansen]], who once remarked that if Poppins had tried flying in the gale storms that were going on in [[2015]], she would have ended up in [[Norway]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Stalingrad (novel)|The Beast of Stalingrad]]'') The [[Eleventh Doctor]] wondered — in the midst of a discussion about his fitness as a babysitter — if the twelve-and-a-half-year-old [[Kazran Sardick]] had seen ''Mary Poppins'', but stopped himself before fully comparing himself to Poppins, saying that the analogy would have been "rubbish".
