Pear: Difference between revisions

The [[Twelfth Doctor]] also warned [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] not to eat pears as they were too "squishy" and always made your [[chin]] wet, just before he lost his [[memory|memories]] of her. He stated that it was extremely important, and told her to write it down. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'') The Twelfth Doctor later gave his [[Thirteenth Doctor|future self]] some advice before [[Regeneration|regenerating]], one of which was "never, ever, eat pears" ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') He considered his disdain for pears "his personal taste" and "a quirk born of experience" which he didn't want squandered by any of his future incarnations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')

A deleted scene of ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'', referencing [[Human Nature (novel)|the original novel]], has the [[Tenth Doctor]] instrucinng [[Martha Jones]] not to let him eat pears when he turns into [[John Smith (Tenth Doctor)|John Smith]], as he would not want to have the taste in his mouth when reverted back into a [[Time Lord]]. Referencing this, the Doctor’s phobia was mentioned again in media starting with ''[[The Taking of Chelsea 426 (novel)|The Taking of Chelsea 426]]''. The running gag made its way to the [[Doctor Who|TV series]] in ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]''. [[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|The novelisation]], like both versions of ''Human Nature'', was by [[Paul Cornell]].
