Doctor Who has been whizzing through time and space for 51 years. Yet in that lengthy amount of time, the doctor has travelled to Australia only once. ONCE.
In 1968, the second Doctor, played by Patrick Troughton, travelled forward to 2018 with companions Jamie and Victoria to an Australian beach called Cape Arid.
We think once wasn't enough. After all, Australia is such a popular destination for Brits.
1. "The Sydney Opera House is clearly a disguised space ship."
2. "The Doctor will investigate that and work out how to take it back into space."
3. "He'll maybe love the weather. He'll definitely love the bridge."
4. Doesn't matter how steaming hot it is in Australia, "the Doctor doesn't change his clothes for anyone."
5. "It’s a good place to wear his sonic shades... much better than a screwdriver in these circumstances."
6. "The Doctor would arrive and laugh in your faces, and say 'What? A spider? It’s not even a giant spider. Get out of town!'”
7. "He’ll come here and find out Missy is already here."
8. The Doctor's worst Australian nightmare? NOT the crocodile in these photos...
9. "The Doctor can understand all languages in the universe automatically, EXCEPT the Australian accent, which completely confounds him."
10. That said, he won't be too pleased if the Aussies showed off their penchant for shortening words.
11. And, don't expect him to be saying "crikey" while in Australia.
12. But, "the Doctor would surely get along with Steve Irwin if he travelled back in time."
13. The direction the TARDIS will spin won't change as it enters the southern hemisphere, unlike toilet flushes.
14. Clara may be gone already, but "the Doctor can always take his Australian companion (Tegan Jovanka, played by Janet Fielding) on the journey."
15. And, as for Australia's favourite local, the kangaroo? "He's definitely a friend."
