Episode “Doctor Who Agatha Christie” was inspired by a bizarre true story

Even if you are a “doctor who” a supporter with the passage of massive show history, six decades on the BBC, you probably know that there are some procedural aspects in the iconic favorite, regardless of who the doctor is and who oversees the show at one time or another. In the modern era of the doctor, there may be a kind of arc, for example, a bad wolf arc of the first modern season with Christopher Eklestan or when the master became Missi for Peter Kapaldi. But in this arc, usually there are episodes that occur in the distant future, as well as episodes in which the doctor inevitably interferes with the home life of his last companion. And almost always there is at least one episode, put in a specific past era of British history, allowing the doctor to face real figures such as Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth and even the famous Agatha Christie writer.

When the doctor who played David Tenant and his companion Donna Nupble (Catherine Tate) met with Agatha Christie (Fennel Vulgar) in an episode of 2008 under the name “The Unicorn and The Wasp”, she felt inevitable. (Perhaps A lifetime dream.) Few people emerge so big over British culture as its main writer -ten, and the doctor is not an inquisitive, who eventually goes to the investigation, so the meeting with the legendary figure had a perfect meaning. Given this episode in question, it seems rather ridiculous (in a good way) a combination of science fiction and history, because Christie went missing while the lice that changes the form, it kills people like the characters in their own works. But, how difficult it is to believe, this episode is actually founded in fact. Well, a few.

The episode of the fourth series “Unicorn and Wasp” sets the doctors and the donne into the world of the mid-1920s the top of the 1920s, not realizing until it is almost too late that Agatha Christie-Gost on the same party they invited, but also that they happened on the same day in 1926, when the Christie-Christ, when the crisis, when the crisp is crossed, when the crisp. Christie-Christ disappeared by -real. In the show, the disappearance of Christie is associated with the arrival of an alien, known as a magpiform, reminiscent of huge, murderous ox. Despite the fact that Christie herself did not somehow manifested itself as supernatural, her presence on the party is such that the doctor and the Donna cannot accurately interfere with the recorded story, which allows her to knock unconscious and get amnesia, after which they return it to civilization in ten days, because of which is not worse.

What has actually happened will always be enough than a mystery. It is known that Christie went missing in early December 1926, and it was discovered after 11 days with what seemed like a real and serious memory loss. In real life, Christie and her husband Archi experienced such an intensively rude patch that when she disappeared, some believe that they may have tried to kill her (or that she may have died with a suicide from their intense relationships). The most distraught aspect of the disappearance, which may have allowed a “doctor who” wrote staff to use this event as a fundamental element of the episode, is that there is still no confirmed reason why it went missing or what happened in 11 days between its disappearance and return. Obviously did not participate alien as was The question that led to its disappearance.

As noted above, “Doctor Who” is nothing to love British history as his own place in this cultural history. Not far from modern episodes, aired from 2005 to today Ebenezer scrooge Stand (as Michael Gambon plays) and other memorable British between them. And in the same direction of the show tries (to a certain extent) to realize the true story not only in the allotted events and leaders, but also by recognizing the restrictions that the doctor can and cannot make. For example, he can make sure Agatha Christie is not attacked and killed by a aliens that changes the shape. However, it cannot do it so that Christie does not even disappear for 11 days; This still needs to happen within the historical record, even if the details should never be disclosed or disclosed.

However, the freedom that the doctor and his associates have in the journey of huge achievements of space and time is one of the most attractive aspects of “Doctor Who”. Despite the fact that there are procedural elements and some types of aliens that Galiphareen’s doctor should face, and although some aspects of science fiction shows are often generally noticeable, all this in the show service, which is always designed to refer to all ages. Sometimes a child can enjoy just watching the action and tense in this episode, but the show is also designed to give his audience All Explos to look at a true story, even if you do not understand how likely one of the most famous English-speaking writers of the 20th century almost had a much shorter heritage due to the lack of disappearance. The “Unicorn and Wasp” episode can be completely stupid and stupid. (It’s not as if this contribution entered the site List of 12 Tennant’s top 12 episodes.) But the creative choice that led to its existence is exciting and exciting.
