if you’re ancient i must be even ancienter. tom baker is my doctor, and i was highly traumatised at least 3 times i can clearly remember, in order from least to worst:

• the white maggots maggoting out of the mineshaft

• that shithead adric locking romana out of the tardis when the giant spiders were closing in outside

• when the doctor dropped off sarah jane & just after the fucker dematerialised, she realised she had no idea where (or when) he’d left her. IT WAS LIKE THREE DECADES before we found out she was ok. awful.
