After reading this story

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...in-5000BC.html

Perhaps DR Who is actually based on a real time traveler. The government wouldn't reveal this information because of the potential damage it could cause!

Erm no.

Rather unlikely, I think.

your probably right. I'm sure its all a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE coincidence

Wait, this isn't a documentary program????

No because it looks nothing like the Tardis.

Perhaps the chamelion circuit is working!

There is a book called: "The Science of Doctor Who" which examines the main story elements, time travel etc. and how plausible they may actually be. Fascinating stuff.

It could only be a coincidence if the incidences coincided, i.e. that tall central figure with two eyes and broad shoulders actually looked remotely like the Tardis. I am not sure what the name is for a coincidence that isn't but I have always wanted to coin a neologism so I call it a "noincidence".

Update: I just look on Google and some other bugger has already thought of coining "noincidence". So what do we call a neologism that isn't? Just a word?

It looks like an arrowhead to me.

I'm really hoping the OP was being sarcastic...
I've heard all the conspiracies, 9/11, Roswell, Diana... but this... just, no.

If the Sun (or the News Of The World) told me it was daytime, I'd probably go to bed. They couldn't even get an episode summary right two weeks running if they tried!
Anyway if the Government didn't reveal the information how did the BBC find it to base anything on, especially in 1963 when they didn't even have the Internet?
Oh and we already have a thread for this.

i like to think, in a paralel universe the events of Doctor who are happening.(Sad isn't it?)

Maybe one day he'll fall though into our universe and we can meet him. Just like he fell through worlds in the rise of the cybermen.

But thats me hoping. In reality, theres more chance that i spontaneously transform into a squid than him being real.


(Poof! Transforms into squid)

The end

Here comes The Sun
Here comes The Sun
And I say
It's all wrong.

I say a rousing "Hip Hip Hoorah" for the mighty Muttley for statistically shooting down yet another "DW in poor ratings shock" thread!

Now be fair, they have made some pretty accurate reports, like their total confirmation that the Supreme Dalek was a bastardised Harriet Jones.

well.. I suppose if time travel was invented one day, it might be plausible that a doctor who fanatic made a time-travelling space ship in the shape of a tardis and went back to the stone age.
Y'know. If he was bored, or something.

Of course "Doctor Who" is real, I distinctly remember watching it on television last evening, and I'm as confident that my reality is not a product of psychosis, hysteria or drug-induced hallucination as I can be.

At least I think I am

Yes, it's all real. I used to travel with the Doctor years ago. I said I'd never reveal it, but the time has come to tell the truth. Don't believe the lies that it is just a TV show. The BBC are in on the cover-up. All the head writers are actually MI5 agents. Matt Smith is actually James Bond. Karen Gillan was a real companion, too, until she left to help out on the cover up. She used to be my girlfriend during our travels.

I am the figure on the far right of that picture, btw. I am suing The Sun for using my image without permission for this.

This is all true. I can prove it because I am not a liar and it is now written down here for all eternity. Gotta go though, I can here them coming for me....

Going by precedent, it would be a no-logism.

More top class reporting from The Sun.

It only looks like a TARDIS from the outline. If you took away the top bit you wouldn't be thinking it a TARDIS at all! I'm quite open minded but in this case I think not!

I've blown up the pic a little bit so you can see it properly:

With sensible cap on, it looks like people around some kind of totem - and totemic rituals were part of prehistoric American culture, evolving into what we know as Red Indian totem poles.

However, with my Doctor Who hat on, I start to think - if time travellers wanted to visit the past, they'd have to go somewhere where they were least likely to be recorded as having visited, so why not an era where they can't be photographed, and it's unlikely that written evidence will survive, thus leaving us with ambiguous cave drawings? It makes you wonder.

By the way - I have to do my mandatory thing that I do in time travel threads. If anyone's reading this during an era when time travel is possible, maybe in an archive, please don't be shy, come and visit and tell me about the future! I won't tell anyone - no-one'd believe me anyway See you soon!

Loving it!
