Pretty much what the title says. Sorry if this has been done before and I didn’t see it in my searches. I’d love to hear any obscure facts that you love sharing! I don’t have any that I didn’t discover while using TARDIS Guide or the forum.

Same. I know very few people irl who watch Doctor Who, so basically all of my Doctor Who facts are obscure in-person, but I know basically nothing obscure as compared to most other TARDIS Guide users.

Well, I learned this on the forum a few days ago, and I would have to double-check that he’s the only person this applies to, but I think Julian Bleach is the only actor to appear in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and SJA.

Does Trinity Wells (Lachele Carl) not appear in Torchwood? (I haven’t seen it, but I’m sure I’ve heard this fact in relation to her)

I just checked and she does appear in Torchwood. I just haven’t gotten to that episode yet.

The place to go is YouTube. DAVIS has a series called Broke Canon that has all the kind of obscure tidbits you’re looking for.

One thing I discovered earlier while reading The Shoreditch Incident is that Rachel Jensen appears to be a member of the Royal Meteorological Society.
I also like to bring up the fact that the Fourth Doctor and Romana I once spent decades held prisoner by traumatized people, only allowed to see each other at their yearly cricket match [1]
the doctor’s first xi haunts me ↩︎

I know that during the 80s, after Tom Baker left, a female Doctor was considered! I can’t remember the specifics, I read about it in a Doctor Who reference book or something

During the events of Remembrance of the Daleks, Charlie Smith was there, likewise one of the Daleks from that story was in modern day with Ace and Miss Quill!

Silicate Geometry The Extended Universe is second nature to us Geochemists Whovians, so it’s easy to forget that the average person only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldstones Gallifrey and the Main range.
And quartz The War in Heaven of course.

The more I learn about Faction Paradox, the more confused I am, but that’s still neat!

Usually I’m exactly the person to ask for random bizarre trivia about fandoms I’m in, but Doctor Who just has too much and nothing is springing to mind.

Oh wait TARDISes reproduce sexually. That’s niche I think?
