Doctor Who/Recap/S16/E03 The Stones of Blood: Difference between revisions

'''Romana:''' And did she get mugged?<br />

'''Vivien:''' No, she got arrested for carrying an offensive weapon. }}

* [[Exposition of Immortality]]: There are three portraits missing from the wall at Boscombe Hall. The Doctor and Profesor Rumford come across them later, revealing them to all be portraits of Vivien Fay painted at various points during her long existence on Earth.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: Professor Rumford is played by the 75-year-old Beatrix Lehmann who is quite clearly not wearing a bra beneath her blouse. And it gets quite cold in some of the exterior scenes, if you're into that sort of thing in old women.

* [[Golem]]: The Ogri are a mix of this and [[Living Statue]], since they're part of a stone circle.

* [[I Have Many Names]]: Cessair, aka Vivien Fay, aka Morgana Le Fay, aka The Goddess, aka The Cailleach...need we go on?

* [[Literal Cliff Hanger]]

* [[Milestone Celebration]]: Averted. This is the 100th [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] serial '''and''' it's original broadcast was close to the series' 15th anniversary. There would have been a scene in which the Doctor would have gotten a cake and a new scarf for ''his'' birthday, but the idea was scrapped because it was considered to be too self-indulgent.
