TARDIS interiors - the wardrobe

Happy Birthday, Peter Purves!

TENTH DOCTOR: Ancient Rome, anything goes.  It’s like Soho…but bigger.
DONNA: You’ve been here before, then?
TENTH DOCTOR: Hm, ages ago.  Before you ask, that fire had nothing to do with me…well, a little bit.

— The Fires of Pompeii

“You’ll see, you’ll see.”

History According to Doctor Who: Cressida is actually Vicki, who adopted the name when she left the Doctor to be with Troilus. (Luckily, their story has a happier ending than the Shakespeare play.) (The Myth Makers)

History According to Doctor Who: The Doctor accidentally gave Nero the idea to burn down Rome. (The Romans)

Today’s theme is History According to Doctor Who!

Because despite what the books might say, we know what really happened…

(This might end up being a multi-week theme, because I wasn’t able to cover all of the things I had in mind; if at the end of the day you think there’s something I missed, send me a message and I’ll put it on the list for next time.)
