Doctor Who: 10 Weird Things The Doctor Keeps In His Pockets
4. Hypercube/Time Lord Message Box
Message in a bottle. Or, in this case, a box. This glowing box contains a Time Lords thoughts and a message which travels through time and space to get to a fellow traveller. It even knocks on the door. How very polite. Pulling a set of white cards out of his pocket, the Second Doctor constructed a hypercube and put a psychic message into it, sending it off to Gallifrey to ask the Time Lords to help him out in The War Games. And help they did, before they arrested him and dragged him back home to answer for his behaviour, that is. Returning in The Doctors Wife with the Eleventh Doctor, these seem to be Time Lord emergency distress beacons of sorts. Eleven found a cupboard full of them and was disheartened to learn that the owners were long since dead. Still, its a neat thing to have about your person, but fans dont suppose the Doctor keeps one handy any more.
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.
