Remember when… the TARDIS took on that taxi?
You can always rely on the Doctor to come charging to your aid*, and for this week’s Remember when… we’re reliving one of his most epic rescues to date.
It was Christmas Day 2006 and fans across the land (nearly 10 million of us to be precise!) were cuddled up away from the winter weather to share in the festivities with Donna, who we then knew as The Runaway Bride. ‘Tis the season for a thrilling car chase, and that year – like Santa Claus – Russell T Davies definitely delivered!
When Donna hopped in that taxi who would’ve thought that its driver was in fact a robot minion of the Empress of Racnoss’ sinister plan to take over the planet!? As they raced down the motorway, time was running out, and there was one thing for the Doctor to do.
Pretty epic eh!? Do you remember seeing it? Share your memories and follow that car…
* Unless he has been trapped in the Pandorica/lost the TARDIS/forgotten who he is, etc.
I remember the first time I saw TRB. I thought the TARDIS chasing a taxi was an amazing, hilarious idea and I just wish that I was one of the two kids in the car in front.
While watching this scene I felt like the children in the car, I was cheering the Doctor on and practically bouncing in my seat. I loved it!
