Have you looked on Wikipedia and seen how tall Tom Cruise is? It seems you get to add these figures yourself.

Tom Cruise’s agency reports him as being 5’ 7’’. There are industry sources and then ‘massaged’ sources for the public.
5’ 10’’ seems to be the minimum for the trad “leading man” character.

I reckon you could take a few inches off that, too.

I think it would have been better if she was using semaphore rather than that weird gesturing.
But yeah - made no sense whatsoever.

Yes
Thank you.

So she dies and then has a whole lifetime of doing bad Tai Chi a certain distance away from her younger self.
Except she doesn’t, because the Doc now doesn’t step on the fairy circle. Making a mockery of every previous plot warning of the danger of closed paradoxes.

Those pesky paradoxes.

Is the writing any better in any of the other episodes?
Also, is that duffel coat his signature look? Because if it is I’m not going to be able to watch any more.

That was by far the best episode!

New clothes every episode. This is his main gimmick.

Eesh!!
Well, you know, settling in and that.
Sure it will pick up. Was good for nearly 20 mins.

That episode was on track to be awesome. . . . Then it blew it by having nowhere to go, nothing to tie it together. Like an idea they didn't finish.
The doctor and Ruby's conversations at the beginning and end are skin crawlingly cringey.
I also would rather he didn't break the tradition of not changing hit outfit.

More like *fanny* la rouge!
I’ve always thought it was stupid the Doctor didn’t change outfits. I mean even I have different jackets. And if you’ve got a Tardis, you can get a walk in wardrobe with era appropriate clothes.

Gatwa is going full Romana II.

Tennant changed outfits plenty, but he kept to a particular theme. Same with various other Doctors. And there were other changes for era or practical concerns.
I’ve only watched one episode but this sounds a bit different. Like a fashion show that Disney are going to morph into product placement.

Correct.
Almost a classic episode but just fell short.
Gatwa shaping up to be a great Doctor, despite the deeply unpleasant online offensive against him.

Ah, dunno.
Though, being from West Wales I can attest that they were bang on with their portrayal of the friendly pubs filled with totally normal people.

Exasperated, not angry.
not just era appropriate clothes, clothes they thought were just great. If a Time Lord can change their entire body regularly, changing their wardrobe regularly seems just common sense.

Except they change their body (and elements of their brain and personality) when mortally wounded.
They don’t exactly relish regenerations - it’s a kind of death.
Might also have expected RTD to eschew the “fast fashion” fad for something more sustainable.

Indeed.
The Davison and Colin Baker eras were basically just two outfits. The cricket one, and the retina scorching attire of number 6.

Her Insanity laughs under pressure...👾
especially when they've got a very large wardrobe full of clothes.

Be a Pisces. Jam.
They missed a trick having them changing languages to Welsh when the English person walks in. Happens ALL the time I hear.

The doctor dressing in era appropriate / climate appropriate clothes makes such complete sense it's frankly bizarre it's taken this long to implement. Or that not doing it hasn't been explained away by some sort of TARDIS perception filter trickery.

It has been explained away. It's Doctor Who. The Doctor is bizarre. The Doctor does bizarre. Dr Who is supposed to be bizarre.
I find infographics sometimes work better.
I mean, why does it have to be a police box? Surely it's time we changed it to something better... Something more modern.
And that stupid sonic screwdriver. What a ridiculous toy. Even as a small child I used to laugh at it. Let's get rid of that nonsense.

And? I think a season of the TARDIS getting a working chameleon circuit again would be fun - though longer term I think the police box is the one constant that can't be messed with. But the sonic could vanish - it did in the 80s.
The doctor being 'bizarre' has ebbed and flowed over the years, it's not a constant. And the more bizarre costumes haven't exactly been a big draw (poor Colin).
