Hi fellow nerds! I’m Anna, 24, and I’ve been a fan of the show since I was 10. I’ll admit I’ve only watched a handful of episodes of classic who, and somehow I’ve never got around to Torchwood…
I’m curious as to what people’s watching habits are - me and my friends tend to find things to keep track of while watching/marathoning the show, like whether an episode passes the bechdel test (they usually do!) or whether anyone is shirtless (a habit we picked up while watching the X-Men films, and then Riverdale).
For me personally, I’ve been keeping track of whether an episode contains or mentions sandwiches - I think it happened twice in a row on the SJA, and then very infrequently from then on… In retrospect, probably not the best thing to track. But I’m invested now!
So far the presence of sandwiches is pretty lackluster:
Welcome. You’ll want to check out the Third Doctor serial The Sea Devils because there’s an excellent sandwich scene with the Doctor and Master at the end of part 2 (plus it’s just a really good story anyway).
Have you seen the “tropes” and “inventory” filters on the site?
Stuff like passing the bechdel test is exactly what I am looking for in Tropes, so maybe sometime you could provide a list and I’ll add it. I’ll explain how best to provide it if you’re interested.
Also sandwiches would be great to add to inventory! Only when they appear on screen.
I love tracking things like this, we have quite a few odd ones at the moment!
Welcome! What a great and quirky thing to track. I just collect clues to help put everything in a sensible chronological order (mostly by the Doctor’s experience if they are around, or else for a relevant character or group of characters if not, linking where possible, e.g., Benny & Vienna).
