ANNA: Where on earth did you come from?!
DOCTOR: Wrong planet, bit further out than that, but it’s an easy mistake to make, won’t hold it against you - hello!
ANNA: Hello? What are you doing here?
DOCTOR: I’m here to help! See, the thing is, you think you’re all alone in the universe, Anna Bates. You think you’re very small and very scared and very lonely, but you’re not any of those things. I know what it’s like, you see. To have your significant other in prison. It’s rather rubbish, isn’t it? Breaks your hearts a bit.
ANNA: Yes. That it - hearts?
DOCTOR: But misery breeds resourcefulness! And I’ve become terribly good at emergency break outs, haven’t I, darling?
RIVER: He really has.
DOCTOR: So let’s go pay Mr. Bates a visit!
ANNA: I…
DOCTOR: That’s a yes! C’mon, Mrs. Bates. Get your gladrags on. I do love a double date!
OH MY GOD I AM FLAILING RIGHT NOW
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AND AHHHHHH
THE BEST OF DOWNTON AND THE DOCTOR
I NEED TO SEE AN ENTIRE SERIES BASED ON THIS
A Downton Abbey/Doctor Who crossover!?!? Who ever created this is my hero. It’s a wonder no one thought of it sooner!
I am in dire need of this.
I don’t even like Bates but I want this!
I feel like Mary would handle the Doctor and the TARDIS and “its bigger on the inside” syndrome very well. Or even...
OH MY GOD I AM FLAILING RIGHT NOW THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AND AHHHHHH THE BEST OF DOWNTON AND THE DOCTOR I NEED TO...
The Doctor would be SO over Bates’s stick-in-the-mudness within thirty seconds. He’d be all “Let’s go on… an Adventure!”...
I agree, the Doctor and Mr. Bates wouldn’t get on at all. You know what would be great, though, would be the Doctor...
this is amazing. Anna would be a perfect companion for the Doctor.
This….this is everything I’ve ever wanted in an AU. MOAR PLZ.
