"Noone likes the tangerines" (spec)
Is it just a quip or something more ?. Moffat does like layers and more then one meaning. Does it mean temptation forbidden fruit ?. Or maybe something else.
Traditionally children got them in their stockings with other gifts like sweets and nuts. If you were poor I suppose it helped your diet get a few essential vitamins and minerals. Doctor as a doctor of medicine and other things should be promoting a healthy lifestyle. Maybe Moffat is rebelling against the obesity crisis. Sugar was a big one this year. Saying how it is as addictive as some drugs and very bad for you. Previously it has been anything with salt or fat in it. Whatever happens look forward to Last Christmas. Doctor ,Clara and Santa on an adventure. ![]()

No idea what quote your referring to but if its to do with tangerines in Christmas stockings then those of us a certain age will surely understand.
Ask Granny McSmith, she would definitely understand. |

Capaldi was into punk so maybe the Twelth Doctor doesn't like prog/krautrock? (one for the teenagers....)

Okay, as someone with an Internet Diploma in Psychology, I'm going to have to ask everyone to stop posting in this thread as it may be harming the OP. (CD93's and Sebbie3000's comments are particularly unhelpful as they legitimise this tangerine hypothesis and encourage it to become more deeply entrenched.)
Sara_Peplow is suffering from what we in the psychological profession call an "idée fixe" - or "fixed idea". The online dictionary defines "idée fixe" as, "The reality of obsession - incessant return to the same few themes, scenarios and questions; its meticulous examination and re-examination of banal minutiae for hidden meanings that simply aren't there." In this scenario, the patient sees a picture of Peter Capaldi holding a tangerine. She thinks it means something. Then she hears Peter Capaldi mention tangerines and her idée fixe is further engrained into her psyche. In reality, tangerines will have absolutely no significance whatsoever in the Christmas special. I stake my professional reputation on it. |

clearly its a zygon hemorrhoid.
Anyhoo don't be mean to the OP. .. although she does seem to put (spec) in every title - most threads in here are speculative to be fair. a nice bit of punctuation and liberal use of paragraphs might make it a bit easier to read - as without it often comes across as an unstructured regurgitated brain dump! but this is a place for everyone to enjoy after all. |

What do tangerines contain? Pips!
What are the pips for? Time! Who controls time? The Timelords! What colour is Gallifrey? Burnt tangerine! The Timelords are back! Tangerines are actually Timelord technology that combine chameleon arches with stasis cubes. This is where Gallifrey is hidden. On Christmas day, salvation will come when all the people on Earth peel open their tangerines and release it back into the waking world. See? Rassilon was right! |

I don't think the OP is the one suffering from delusions! Quote:

Are you sure you're not the patient and are writing this from an institution? Quote:

2) I think its clear that tangerines most definitely will have some significance in the Christmas special. So much for internet diplomas! I'd ask for my money back mate!

The tangerine is a throwback to Tens first xmas outing.
Twelves line about no-one liking tangerines is the opposite of what ten said (I think) as for sarcasm - it doesn't translate well in text, but even spoken I doubt you would of pulled it off. Of course that's just my opinion. |

The Doctor will regenerate into a tangerine at the end of series 9 as there's nothing to say The Doctor cannot regenerate into a tangerine

Satsuma/Tangerine, to me, to you
Could be important. Maybe used to save the day, juggling oranges![]() The Doctor- Clara, you do know how to juggle? Clara- No but I can try, back to you Doctor. The Doctor- We are going to try, to walk and juggle Clara-Doctor, that's a step too far The Doctor-Don't worry Clara. |

Oh dear Pablo. Sounds like you need a stepladder.
That might help things to not go over your head (I wasn't going to write the explanation but... Well )
