It was 2005, she was 19 with no A levels from a low level income household with no computer of their own. The fuck can you expect? She's to be commended for even considering using the internet!

TIL you need to watch Dr Who as a period piece.
Everything is a period piece 20 years later.
Not necessarily. Most scifi and fantasy are not.
Scifi tends to be a time piece on what people at that point in time thought the future would look like, which changes every couple of decades.
I feel this in my joints.
All the time, constantly
The Doctor doesn't really wear eccentric clothes, he's just completely fed up with trying to be accommodating to the period he's in. He's a very very old person after all.
Never thought I would live to see the day that what used to be a contemporary episode of Doctor Who would have to be viewed as if it was a time travel episode
The original series went from 1963-1989 and some of those episodes were contemporary for the time, too.
