The Church on Ruby Road (in reality NOT standing in London) - hidden grass under fake snow, spread on a sheet to keep it safe, while the stage lamps suggest that there IS a path under that "snow" - the REAL reality check (like: the women jn in Shakespear's stage plays: a young man playing a woman, who tries to be a boy, that has to dress up as a girl)🤭

@LisaBeta-42 3 ай бұрын

3 is a cheat: the clock was running before you even saw the actor - at 5 sec. there is only one hand and his nose visible: 3 seconds left to hit the ground - but being unconscious, it probably should NOT be counted as touching grass (being "embraced by" heather, more likely). Then his weelchair turns over on a patch of grass - so coming into contact with the greenery was not of his own free will. And touching the leaves of the tree, gets him shot by Unit-soldiers: whatever the Time Lords had intended - it did not go well with that doctor.

In honour of Michael Jayston, I shall confirm that even the Valeyard has touched grass. While I don't know the exact timing (maybe one day I'll get round to it if I'm bored) The Valeyard touches grass in The Trail of a Time Lord: Part Fourteen, when he's teleporting around and lands directly on the one patch of grass on the Matrix beach. If anyone wants to get the exact time themselves, you have to time EVERY courtroom scene (regardless of whether the Valeyard is onscreen or not cos he's still in the room) up until Part Thirteen, when he runs into the Matrix. If you want to count him laughing maniacally and his voice over, then go ahead. Then in Part Fourteen when he's teleporting around until he hits the patch of grass 😅

@LisaBeta-42 3 ай бұрын

Matrix grass counts as much as dream-state grass - but is is only the word of the master, that makes the Valeyard a "direct" incarnation of our Doctor(s) - there is the parallel world option or some more "bi-generation" buisiness to get to all the different versions of the Doctor (or the other titles, this immortal being may have used at any given time)

I'm fairly certain that in the wide shot with 9 and Rose they're still walking on the path. It's because the camera is so far away you can't see the path. But if you look at the area where they were filming that scene, the place is criss-crossed with paths.

@ClarenceOdbodyAS2 3 ай бұрын

I think we need a stewards inquiry on 9th Doctor, I think he is still on the footpath. Unfortunately, that would need somebody to find out where it was filmed and then drive all the way out there to figure it out. But only an insane person would do something like that.

So I was actually curious (and I was gonna check the same way for 15ths, but Will did it far better!) and checked it on Google Earth. Looking at Lydstep Flats (Lydstep Crescent, Gabalfa, Cardiff), changing the capture date to 2006 (closest satellite image to 2005) and lining up the shot, I can confirm they do walk on grass. there is a patch of concrete which they may have stood on to film it, but 9th and Rose do walk on the grass field.
