So Like Katy Manning Auditioned With Contacts And Didn't Tell Anyone How Blind She Was

So like Katy Manning auditioned with contacts and didn't tell anyone how blind she was

But then they made her take them out, presumably because old hard contacts reflected studio lights

and I think, although I'm not 100% sure, that Katy's what really established the trope of the Doctor grabbing a companion's hand to run

and even the Master (gentleman that he was) led Jo by the arm after poor Katy supposedly ran into a tree and knocked herself out

So Like Katy Manning Auditioned With Contacts And Didn't Tell Anyone How Blind She Was

anyway I like to headcanon that Jo was as blind as Katy, keeping her disability a secret so she wouldn't be tossed out of UNIT, but the Doctor just worked with it. He's used to his human friends having various physical limitations, so what's one more or less? He provides a steadying hand when he can, and they manage just fine.

It's part of what the Master finds baffling, although after Jo threw off his mind control he began to understand what the Doctor saw in these creatures despite their obvious deficiencies.

a drawing. the master holds Jo Grant by the shoulders, saying "our companion" with a smile.

Kind of obsessed with this dynamic

i think it should be tradition now that in every finale battle the doctor is rescued by the strong arms of a dyke and comforted by the power of lesbianism i think it feels right and correct

yes, he does in the end of time part two. he asks after who donna is, why his plan didn't affect her, so wilfred explains the metacrisis and the master goes "oh, he LOVES playing with EARTH girls! UGH!", he then calls donna a freak and immediately tries to kill her.

did the master ever like. hear about the doctordonna. because they would have been so fucked up about it. oh! you fused! with someone?? you. combined your mind and soul with another person! someone else! a human!!! yeah of course. i'm fine and normal about this :)
