The excellent 2024 novelisation of spooky and unsettling #DoctorWho television story #73Yards was written by series script editor Scott Handcock from an original screenplay by Russell T Davies. The cover artwork of #MillieGibson as #RubySunday is by #DanLiles.
Depicted are two images (one on top of the other). The top image is the opening title card for the Doctor Who story "73 YARDS". The episode is one of the few Doctor Who stories that skips the series' traditional intro. Instead, this story opens to a clifftop in Wales with the TARDIS in the distance and the text "73 YARDS BY RUSSELL T DAVIES" centered near the bottom of the screen. The bottom image is the same image, but modified. In lieu of "73 YARDS BY RUSSELL T DAVIES", the bottom image reads "70 YARDS BY CAM LITTLE". NFL kicker Cam Little has been added to the upper-left corner and a football that he kicked has been added above the distant TARDIS. (image created via traditional Photoshop)

So again, here, The Doctor just kind of blows Ruby off about the Woman. It's weird for such a curious character. He does it again in a later episode and it's always weird.

The Gilligan cut to 40 years later is hilarious.

Okay, so there's something there. We spend a lot of time on Ruby's dates this ep. That seems relevant

I've gotta admit I just don't like UNIT.
I have no problems with any individual member, but just kind of don't see the point..

It's really fucked up that Carla's primary trait is loving children as if they're her own, yet every chance they get, the show seems to want to play this as disingenuous.
#DoctorWho #73Yards
Also, dead seriously, what is the point of Mrs. Flood here? It's obviously for the audience's sake, but in-universe, what is she supposed to be doing?
#DoctorWho #73Yards
If I'm Ruby, I'm definitely examining, disassembling, and basically screwing around with the fairy circle before I go.
#DoctorWho #73Yards
Are they going to explain this episode in the Spinoff? They seem to heavily imply a connection.
#DoctorWho #73Yards
I don't remember any previous Doctor being referred to as White which is ... Well, that's white privilege in a nutshell, huh?
That's what it means to be racialized.
I welcome corrections if I'm wrong.

So, this is two episodes o7n a row where the Doctor walks out of the Tardis and just absentmindedly steps on a plot device.
#DoctorWho #73Yards
Anyways, let's push play on this thing. #DoctorWho #73Yards
I remember thinking #73Yards is cool, but it's really just a bunch of stuff that only kind of happened and then doesn't mean anything.
And thinking it was so weird that the pub laughs at her for not assuming she could pay with her phone.

I was pretty tired for the last two #DoctorWho rewatches. And I'm kinda drunk, now. So maybe that's part of it. But like I said, I've been really enjoying 15's first season.
I remember liking #73Yards, but not as much as the reviews I read at the time, so this should be interesting.
It's 2046, and Ruby has only one chance - and 73 yards - to stop the plans of the new Prime Minister!

Spooky Doctor Who is the best Doctor Who.
Remembering my @bbcdoctorwhom.bsky.social '73 Yards' artwork for the Target novelisation by @scotthandcock1984.bsky.social

For those who missed it in the merrineum, my effort to put @elittlechild.bsky.social's mind at rest that there is an explanation of what's going on at the heart of #DoctorWho #73Yards, and why it's better if you don't get one. buttondown.com/cooray_smith...
Here she comes Ruby Sunday and how she appears in „73 Yards“.
RUBY: „No, I can’t see her, but I know she’s there. 73 yards. I have measured it 100 times. I’ve measured it a thousand times. It’s 73 yards.“

The old woman from “73 Yards”. It was a great joy to do her. 😍
KATE: “Do not talk to her, do not look her in the eyes, do not engage with her in any way, just bring her in. I said, do not engage!”

The next figure from “73 Yards”.

Have I mentioned that this is one of my favourites from the last season?☺️😍
ROGER: “Yeah! Come on! I will go to His Majesty... and prepare for government.”

KATE! 😱😱😱 #DoctorWho #73Yards
Starting without the iconic intro sequence? Getting big Infinity War vibes… #DoctorWho #73Yards
A cartoon of a Jumbo Jet (non specific make or company but the livery is based on British Airways) flying through a cloudy sky. There is a human figure (Future Ruby) flying along behind the plane screaming. A caption at the top of the cartoon says: Very occasionally Ruby just couldn't get out of a flight for work... A voice bubble is emanating from the plane that says: "For the last time Ruby, no, there are no seats further forward... I know you 'Prefer to sit 67 metres' from the front *or* the back but we just can't accommodate you. And *no* we can't get the pilot to do a 'buzz job'! Have you been watching 'Top Gun' again?" (The joke is that if Ruby was sitting far enough forward or back on the plane, then at least 'Future Ruby' would be ON the plane, not dragged along behind. If the plane did a 'buzz job' - flying very close to the ground - then at least future Ruby would *be on the ground* - if moving very fast)

My cartoon for #73Yards from my #DoctorWho calendar for next year, 2025.

Ever since I was a child, watching a re run of I, #Claudius, I've been a fan of welsh actress #Siân #Phillips (who played the evil #Livia). To see her in #Doctor #Who was kind of a dream come true. And #73Yards was indeed a brilliant episode. This is my #favourite #scene.
