Ello there! 🦆

I’m Ducky! Monikered as such due to my interest and love of ducks, and my resultant seething rage at how few stories in this franchise have ever included them (never on TV Who after 61 years!!). My favourite companion is the venerable K9, favourite villain is Davros, and I’m in the process of chomping this franchise into my gullet like a big timey-wimey mukbang. That’s why I love tardis.guide as a tracking resource, so hello to its community, and to its creators, bravo! :blush::star::star::star::star::star:

Welcome to the site! I hope you enjoy your stay! Not a lot of ducks in the franchise, is there? That should be rectified!

Ducks and dogs don’t really go hand in hand. How about Frobisher? He’s a penguin, so pretty close.

Hi and welcome! It is a shame that we never got the answer to the duck pond mystery in Eleventh Hour.

I was also going to mention this, the only time I think Ducks were mentioned that I’m aware of.

Okay now I’ve done a search at DoctorWhoogle:

Usage of “duck” as in slang (duchess): 6
Usage of “ducking” as in torture: 15(!)
Usage of “duck” as in “duck for cover”: 23
Usage of “sitting ducks”: 4
Usage of duck for eating: 2
Usage of duck in cricket: 1
Feeding ducks: 1 (Forest of the Dead: contains ducks!)
Duck pond without any ducks: 8
Ducked out (as in, left): 1
Shooting ducks (game): 1

Well, that was fun :joy:

I have to admit, this is what I genuinely thought for the longest time.

Yeah, I think that was the point. The ducks never existed, yet Amy still remembered it’s a duck pond.

Yea there was a cut scene going to show the ducks back at the end of the finale but they could never film it because of the weather

DOCTOR [OC]: Ace!
ACE: Yeah?
DOCTOR [OC]: Duck.
(Ace ducks. The Doctor shooes a duck out of the Tardis and brings a new
cassette player with him.)
DOCTOR: No, duck.
ACE: Oh, great. Now I can play my tape.

WILF: That’s us. Come on, off we go. All right?
WOMAN: Used to be a nice little family, number twenty nine. They missed
one mortgage payment. Just one. They got booted out. All for you lot.
DONNA: Don’t get all chippy with me, Vera Duckworth. Pop your clogs on
and go and feed whippets.
WILF: Sweetheart, come on. You’re not going to make the world any
better by shouting at it.
DONNA: I can try.

BECKA: Old Mother Twiston
DOCTOR: Must be early 17th century.
BECKA: You stand accused of witchcraft, and shall be tried by my ducking stool, hewn from the mightiest tree on Pendle Hill. If you drown, you are innocent. If you survive, you are a witch, and shall be hanged.
VILLAGER: Duck the witch!
RYAN: This is way too dark for me.
YASMIN: We’ve got to do something, Doctor.
GRAHAM: Ah, the Doc said don’t interfere. You said don’t interfere, right?
GRANNY: Don’t cry, Willa. I will still be with you.
WILLA: I will still be with you. In the water
GRANNY: In the fire.
WILLA: In the air.
GRANNY: In the earth.
BECKA: Duck the witch!
ALL: Duck the witch! Duck the witch!
YASMIN: Doctor.
