Doctor Who things I want #72

 More of Wilfred Mott being a very Supportive Dad Figure to the Tenth doctor.

I just love their interactions okay? Like, the Doctor is centuries older than Wilf, but when you go by relative age, Wilf is in a much later stage of his life than the Doctor is in his. I see Wilf as constantly giving off a sense of being absolutely ready to be introduced to people as the Doctor’s proud Dad/Grandad.

Like, I firmly believe that Wilf has a picture of the Doctor & Donna in his wallet and if any of his friends asks who they are, Wilf is just like ‘oh they’re my grandchildren’ and proceeds to launch into a long rambling conversation about how they’re off travelling and seeing amazing stuff, but they’re visiting next week to go with Wilf to that new Astronomy exhibit in the museum.

Ten minutes later he realises he referred to the Doctor as ‘my grandson’ at least twice, has a moment of ‘oh. i said That.’ then does the mental equivalent of a shrug.

Ten & Donna do visit later and Wilf’s friend is ‘delighted to meet you, Doctor, your Grandad is so proud of you and Donna, he talks about his grandchildren all the time!’ 

Donna just gives a little grin and jokes about how her ‘cousin’ has always been the favourite grandson ‘although of course, he is the only grandson, so not much competition. Now if we’re talking grandchildren it's a different story.'

Ten’s brain does a flip and he has to excuse himself so he can have A Moment in private. He ends up sniffling in the bathroom for fifteen minutes.
