10 Crazy Facts You Just Have To Accept To Enjoy Doctor Who
5. Most Of Human History Is Because Of The Doctor
When youve time travelled for over a thousand years and make it your business to fight the evils of the universe, youre going to affect history at least once. And the Doctor has clearly taken that to hearts because hes written himself into human history more times than Forrest Gump. Although a lot of the time he ends dealing with something relatively small scale that doesnt affect history, over the course his many lives he has managed to intertwine himself with practically every piece of history you can think of. In fact, the Doctor is either partly or wholly responsible for; the Watergate Scandal, pasta, Yorkshire puddings, the Great Fire Of London, the destruction of Pompeii, and the Shakespeare play Loves Labours Won being lost forever. Hell, he even accidentally caused the spark that began life in the universe after the Big Bang. So another item to add to the list of things to expect from an episode of Doctor Who (and any drinking games related to it) is that the second the Tardis lands in the past, the Doctor is almost definitely going to end up causing whatever piece of history he came to see. And thats not even starting on what he does to the future and other planets.
