Doctor Who: 10 Weird Things The Doctor Keeps In His Pockets
6. Yo-Yo
While stuck on Earth for much of his Third incarnation, the Doctor thought of himself as some kind of galactic yo-yo as he would always return to the aid of the human race. It seems to still be true, even after the Time Lords lifted their control over his TARDIS and allowed him to roam free. Perhaps this is why the Doctor has favoured passing the time with a yo-yo so much. The Fourth Doctor was often seen practicing his tricks and bounces whenever he had a spare moment, but they're not without their practical uses, too. In The Ark in Space he used it to test the local gravity, which he did again in Kill the Moon. See. Yo-yos are fun and resourceful.
Joel Cornah, is an author hailing from a small isolated village in Lancashire.
Having told stories of dinosaurs, penguins and dragons to his younger siblings for nigh on two decades, it soon became apparent that these tales needed to be written down. Gathering the myriad of maps, family trees, illustrations and noted ideas, he began work on the world of dyngard. Having grown along with the audience from a collection of loosely related children’s stories, it became a whole world of adventure, magic and questions.
He was awarded a degree in Creative Writing from Liverpool John Moors University and spent seven years writing a comical newspaper for The Barrow Downs Tolkien discussion forum.
Currently running a charity café in Parbold village, Joel is often found deep in discussion of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the long history of Doctor Who, and desperately trying not to frighten people away. Often with limited success.
