It was such a familiar sight, his brown flop of hair bopping around as he piloted the time machine wearning a bowtie, but it never failed to put pure excitement into her heart. "Artang, Clara!" the Doctor said, giving a flourish as he pushed a lever over. "The wonderful planet of Artang. You're going to love it, I can just tell." "I'm sure I will
How the Pentagram constellation came to be. Many believed, (and still do) that "monsters" were real, that the fictional creatures that "go bump at night" actually do go bump at night. So, a few people formed a society of men and women called "Hunters". From generation to generation, men rose to the responsibility of protecting the life of others, by hunting them.

seeing as she managed to return the Doctor’s TARDIS to him and somehow knew that he hasn’t met her yet at the end of the episode.

This protagonist captures the audience as she is thrust upon a journey to stop the Weeping Angels and recover the Doctor’s TARDIS. They manage to not divert any attention away

Although written in late nineteenth century, the lessons and motifs in The Death of Ivan Ilych, by Leo Tolstoy, remain appropriate to our ever-changing world1. This novella chronicled the life of Ivan Ilych, delving deep into his psyche. The impending death of Ivan served as the main theme of the novella. Death is a consequence of human existence; for life to exist, so too must death. In particular, doctors and those within the health-care field deal with death regularly. Ivan interacted with

He had forgotten the Doctor was in here. “And the TARDIS is not an option, they already took it. She isn’t going to be happy when they open her up,” he was saying. “Who isn’t going to be happy?

to a younger audience. Starry Night has been pariodied and referenced in many shows. One of my favorite reference is in Doctor Who's episode "Vincent and the Doctor" where the time traveling the Doctor visits Van Gogh.
