1. What are some ordinary objects or events that are used in extraordinary ways in ‘The Runaway Bride’?
• For example, the Doctor’s timespace machine is disguised as a phonebooth; the alien robots are disguised as..? Think of at least five events or objects. Wedding, sabotage, normal street, instruments, Santas, screwdriver, bauble off Christmas tree, police booth and the taxi ride.
2. Why do you think the show uses ordinary objects and everyday things in a strange and surprising way? What effect do you think it has on the viewer/reader to see everyday objects used in such a way? Is it funny? Scary? Exciting? I think that the way that they turn normal things, into extraordinary things is very interesting.
3. Do you think the scene on the freeway where the TARDIS is chasing the taxi would have been more or less effective if the TARDIS was a typical-looking spaceship? Why do you think this? I think that the TARDIS is more effective because a normal ordinary space ship would be too big to dodge in and out of cars on a freeway.
To ask why on doctor shows you don’t really understand what the show is all about it is fantasy touching on reality just sit back and enjoy don’t look for hidden meanings
