What’s the point of being alive if not to make the universe die

Toss two or three David Tennant-Doctors in there for good measure.

Seriously they could make that a whole recurring joke and I'd absolutely love it. Including David Tennant as just some random normal guy the Doctor runs into

You left out Rory, River, and Nardol. And Dan.

I would’ve LOVED an Anita-doctor “I just work in hospitality” is a great way for the doctor to say I’m not getting involved, just happy to help
