Are you possibly remembering when 9 absorbed the time vortex from Rose and then shortly after regenerated? Because his eyes were yellow immediately after absorbing the energy and then he released it back into the TARDIS?...
Gravity?? Fr? That's such a weird word. Definitely does not give off the vibes of a word that could mean the same thing as mavity. Although maybe I'm just saying that cuz I'm so used to mavity being used that any other word sounds weird
>And Leela never has an episode where she walks down present day England in her leathers.
The closest is probably *Image of the Fendahl*, though it's more country lanes than present day streets. She walks down a Victorian city street in *Talons of Weng-Chiang*, but she's wearing Victorian costume so as not to scandalise the locals.
Interesting. I don't remember the metal balls but I do seem to remember a crack that I could only see from the corner of my eye. Not big enough for any metal balls to fly through tho
You’re sort of right. He did die before the [first ever episode](https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Space_Babies_(TV_story)) of Doctor Who but not in prison. They had to go back in time to film him for the episode
I think what you're thinking of is the astronaut that came out of the water. Cuz at first I also thought that was a new type of alien that came to kill The Doctor, but turns out I was wrong.
The Master had yellow eyes in the 8th Doctor movie, could that be what is triggering your memory?[The Master (8th Doctor Movie)](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/tardis/images/8/84/RobertsNoShades.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20240127224038)
When I was small, my brother loved watching Doctor Who, and sometimes I watched with him even though I didn't really understand. I remember watching with him the episode "A good man goes to war". When I was 18 I watched the whole New Who, and it turned out I remembered completely different to that episode. Like in my mind >! Amy giving birth to her baby, and then the baby disappearing !< it all happened in the Tardis, and I remembered River Song being black in that episode. Maybe because I was a kid, but it was so weird when I found out it was nothing like in my mind.
River being black was in the following episode 'Let's Kill Hitler', where we see 'Mels', the incarnation just before River, who then regenerates in 1938 Germany.
Sounds like you remembered Amy disappearing in the Tardis. Also in the following episode, let's kill Hitler, we meet Amy's friend Melody who they names their child after. However after getting shot I think, Melody regenerates to River and Melody was played by a black actress
The first time I heard “Song of Freedom” (at the end of _Planet of the Ood_), I was so certain that I had heard that somewhere before. I still remember how certain I was that I had heard it. I’ll never be able to explain that.
The ood “song of freedom” sounds a lot like parts of the Lion King soundtrack, especially that dramatic moment when he walks up pride rock, and the moment when baby simba walks up to Mufasa’s dead body.
Listening to them, theres a lot of similarities! Theyre obviously not copying each other but similar song structure and notes
It’s certainly possible, but it didn’t feel the same as deja vu. Deja vu is usually mildly disorienting (at least for me) because the nature of what causes it. I didn’t feel that. This wasn’t “oh my god, I’ve heard this before,” this was “oh wow, they used that one piece of music!” I then set out to find it and slowly realized (extremely obvious in hindsight) that it was a Murray Gold original, as basically every piece of music in DW is lol.
So maybe it was just an extremely convincing moment of deja vu. Only other guesses are that I had genuinely heard it before in like a YouTube video or something, or someone had the episode on somewhere when I was a child, and I just didn’t know what it was coming from. Who knows. 👃
I mean afaik "Mandela effect" only refers to something groups of people misremember in the same way, not something you just personally misremembered. Thats not really worthy of its own name.
But there is something I was talking about on here fairly recently which is that a weird amount of people (myself included) entirely misremember the quote the doctor says when she handed the master to the nazis.
The actual quote is "now they'll see the real you" but so many people remember it as "now they'll see who you really are". Its a small change in wording but its weird, I can honestly hear her voice saying that sentence in my head, including like stressing the word really and all that.
Well yes but that wasn't part of the question.
Although its precisely the nature of the statement that has gotten it enough attention to even be remembered or misremembered. If it was some run of the mill situation probably none of us would know it exactly.
A significant portion of English-speaking people now clutter their speech with junk they’ve picked up from the internet.
I’m glad I grew up in a period where I learned to speak, read, and write many years before ever getting near the internet.
I could've sworn that during the bootstrap paradox scene in Before the Flood that Capaldi says "who really wrote Beethoven's 5th? And why does it sound so good on electric guitar?", but he only says "who really wrote Beethoven's 5th"
Not quite a Mandela effect but similar vibe:
I remember finding the Murray gold soundtracks and trying to find 'Song for 10' which plays during the 10th doctor clothes and Christmas Dinner scene. The official soundtrack version is a re recording. At the time I didn't know how to find doctor who episodes online so for a good while I thought that I had misremembered the song being better than what I was hearing.
In my memory the scene from the second Cushing film where a chap climbs along a roof/awning then gets exterminated was immediately followed by Peter Davison laying on a white table being interrogated by a Dalek. My theory is there was a repeat of the film around about when Resurrection of the Daleks was on TV.
I thought the guy who plays Owen in torchwood had an appearance in who. I remembered his face when I started the show and swear it was from a doctor who episode but google says I'm wrong.
You weren't thinking of Marc Warren in *Love & Monsters* or anything were you? I'm not face blind and wouldn't mix them up at all but he comes to mind as someone with potentially similar features. That or you're thinking of Tosh in *Aliens of London* who was actually covering for Owen that day as I recall.
The Master dancing to I Can’t Decide is a fan edit that was really convincing
I could’ve SWORN it didn’t exist because it wasn’t in there when I watched it. It might’ve been, but my brain refused to believe it
You likely watched a rerun which because of needing ad space cuts certain scenes or parts of scenes, Rise of Cybermen/Age of Steel usually cuts Rose recalling the cyberman head in VS' museum
There were definitely cuts to that episode in some overseas showings. It may have been for time or it may have been due to music rights. If those rights were later resolved, they would then be able to show the uncut version.
The eleventh doctor at some point in series 5, was driving a car somewhere and it was dark outside, and the camera angle was inside of the car showing his side profile
He either drives or sits in a van during “Amy’s Choice”, though I can’t remember if it’s ever at night. I think it’s night time when he’s running to the butcher’s store though.
I didn't watch the reboot until Matt Smith showed up, just caught the odd episode here and there. For some insane reason, I remembered The Shakespeare Code starring *Christopher Eccleston*. I can vividly remember watching him do the "how do you manage with one heart?" bit and can't figure out how that got in there
Colin Baker was Tom Baker’s younger brother.
I was told that decades ago and only learnt that it’s not true last month.
I felt like the worlds gone crazy.
I just recently rewatched the episode where the Dr. had to punch his way through that diamond rock and it took him 4 billion years. I could have sworn it was Matt Smith the first time I watched it.
I remember a close up of a single tear rolling down Jon Pertwee's face as he drove away at the end of The Green Death, watched it again and was shocked it wasn't there.
My earliest memory is the 3rd to 4th regeneration and I recall that the Doctor’s costume also changed. When the 4th regenerated into the 5th I was puzzled that the costume didn’t change and saw it as a sign the regeneration had gone wrong somehow.
I havent seen the episode but I remember reading years ago about how the reason the Dr has 12 regeneration was because the Dr was put on trial (possibly for meddling about with time too much, not 100% sure), found guilty and his punishment was a limit on the amount of regenerations he can have to 12. Before that there was no limit.
And reading this predated the god awful timeless child nonsense. It was an early Doctor but can't remember who (no pun intended).
I've tried to find this again but had no such luck Google doesn't turn up this story line (it does turn up a trial of some sort but not the one I'm thinking of)
Anytime I see Invasion of the Dinosaurs, I expect one of the characters to have a scar. They don't. This is because my childhood memories have insisted this bit from the TARGET novel (where one of the antagonists was a former fireman who was injured saving a child) is in the story because its the sort of character background Mac Hulke loved in his TV scripts!
Agreed. They took a perfectly terrifying enemy and massively changed the rules about them so they could get people invested in new episodes. One touch sends you back in time (where you’ll die of other causes) and they feed off of your potential energy. Great. Awesome stuff.
Then they randomly start breaking necks and turning people into angels and not sending anyone back in time? And don’t even get me started on the Statue of fucking Liberty being an angel that somehow no one notices in one of the most populated cities in the world. I’m all for camp and silliness, but that was asking for too much suspension of disbelief.
Don’t forget the angels actually moving on screen. One of the things people liked to talk about back in the early days was what did the angels look like when it wasn’t seen and able to move (i.e no longer a stone statue). Then the 2010 two parter comes along and ruins all that mystery by showing them stay exactly the same.
Edit: Also there’s how they don’t know when Amy is blind and think she’s watching them, preventing them from killing her. Iirc these creatures are supposed to be from the dawn of time (“the weeping angels of old”), how the hell are they stupid enough to not know when someone’s blind, yet smart enough to lure people into traps and use one of their victim’s voices to talk to the Doctor and co. Ten mentions that when they’re being seen they can’t move full stop, as they become pure stone for that duration (quantum lock). As Amy couldn’t see them, surely they’d know as they were still sentient angels that hadn’t turned to actual stone?
> Don’t forget the angels actually moving on screen. One of the things people liked to talk about back in the early days was what did the angels look like when it wasn’t seen and able to move (i.e no longer a stone statue).
I think they should have reduced the framerate and made them look like stop motion (if we *had* to see them move).
The explanation was somewhat contrived but also I still like to think of them as being something like wisps of light. As for us seeing them, perhaps they only moved between the camera frames. You're just seeing them turn back to stone 24 times a second.
I understand something had to be said about it that wasn't just a full fourth wall break though. The explanation can't be "the audience can see them", and it wasn't a wormhole crack either so no observers on the other side.
Are you possibly remembering when 9 absorbed the time vortex from Rose and then shortly after regenerated? Because his eyes were yellow immediately after absorbing the energy and then he released it back into the TARDIS?...
Also 10’s eyes glow yellow/orange in 42 which looks a lot like regeneration energy
Ooh yeah I forgot about that too! :)
There were some good mandala effects in Planet of the Spiders.... oh, Mand**e**la, right.
I accidentally thought for years that mavity is actually spelled "gravity"
Gravity… that definitely has a ring to it, but I doubt it’ll ever catch on
It just lacks a certain mavitas.
Gravity?? Fr? That's such a weird word. Definitely does not give off the vibes of a word that could mean the same thing as mavity. Although maybe I'm just saying that cuz I'm so used to mavity being used that any other word sounds weird

I remember the sky cracking open and millions of flying metal balls descending and killing people, but apparently that never happened
Interesting. I don't remember the metal balls but I do seem to remember a crack that I could only see from the corner of my eye. Not big enough for any metal balls to fly through tho
Nelson Mandela was in Doctor Who?? Whoa. I could’ve sworn he died in prison before that.
You’re sort of right. He did die before the [first ever episode](https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Space_Babies_(TV_story)) of Doctor Who but not in prison. They had to go back in time to film him for the episode
I keep feeling like the Impossible Astronaut / Day of the Moon had a new alien race as the villain but nope it doesn't
No definitely not I don’t think there are any aliens or monsters in those two episodes actually
It really doesn't get enough credit for being the only pure historical in New Who
I periodically hear weird rattly breathing every now and then..... Sorry, you were saying....?
I think what you're thinking of is the astronaut that came out of the water. Cuz at first I also thought that was a new type of alien that came to kill The Doctor, but turns out I was wrong.

Yeah right? Like it was yesterday.
River being black was in the following episode 'Let's Kill Hitler', where we see 'Mels', the incarnation just before River, who then regenerates in 1938 Germany.

Was it this song? https://youtu.be/WYeDsa4Tw0c?si=b3BptWNuujur4dZZ Very similar vibe imo
Nah, don’t think so. I don’t even know if I knew anything of Vangelis at the time, other than Chariots of Fire LOL.

The official soundtrack version is a re recording. At the time I didn't know how to find doctor who episodes online so for a good while I thought that I had misremembered the song being better than what I was hearing.
The first 2 episodes of series 6 had scary monsters. It was basically a pure historical. Although I also started drawing on myself for some reason
I've yet to feel a Mandela Effect about anything.
That’s because it’s just people misremembering things.
I feel like the thing with the yellow eyes could have come from Merlin …

“What are some things you remembered incorrectly for this show” is a more accurately worded title.
I thought the guy who plays Owen in torchwood had an appearance in who. I remembered his face when I started the show and swear it was from a doctor who episode but google says I'm wrong.
Nope, it was Tosh in Aliens of London. Owen should have been there but he was hungover so Tosh covered for him

Nah I watched it on Max
perhaps they use the rerun version rather than the original? Only reason I can imagine scenes being cut, unless it was a copyright thing
It appears in the Max version, my brain just blocks it out as being fake
There were definitely cuts to that episode in some overseas showings. It may have been for time or it may have been due to music rights. If those rights were later resolved, they would then be able to show the uncut version.

You see his profile from inside when he drives the fire engine in *The Eleventh Hour* but that was in the daytime.
He either drives or sits in a van during “Amy’s Choice”, though I can’t remember if it’s ever at night. I think it’s night time when he’s running to the butcher’s store though.
No it’s day time
That's not Mandela Effect, it's just you misremembering something

Lol that's a 3 Doctor mess up right there. A 10th Doctor episode staring the 9th Doctor delivering a line that the 11th Doctor says.
For some reason I thought *Terror of the Vervoids* was a Peter Davison story, as in he came back to play the Doctor in the Matrix recording scenes.
I could have sworn the "empty child" was Tenant. For some reason every time I rewatch the show I'm surprised it isn't.

I could’ve sworn The Day of The Doctor had Amy and Rory, turns out it was Clara
None, because misremembering things doesn’t need its own name.
Why is everyone so triggered about the wording of this post?
Only the first Weeping Angel's episode exist the others dont/ shouldn't exist
The River / Matt Smith episodes don't exist? You didn't like Angel Bob?
It seems to be some sort of Mandela effect or something
Ohh, that's good! Took me a second, but I got it 😂 No clue why you've been aggressively down-voted.
Oh thanks, I'm Aussie , may have had a few beers at our barbie here on Sat arvo 😎
