What I love the most about historical 'guest stars' is all the little details about their real lives. Agatha Christie really did disappear for a week in 1926 and nobody knows why, which made it a perfect opportunity to tell that story.

It's always weird to me that "No one knows why" cause it's clearly documented, she went through something traumatic, and left leaving a letter saying she was going to a spa and surprise to surprise was found in a spa. I don't understand the mystery.

@@ashbridgeindustries380 Not too difficult to figure out. She experienced a traumatic event, left her letter, and ran away to Harrogate (a famous spa town) using a false name (presumably so people there didn't know who she was) to get away from it all. Whether or not she actually had amnesia is up for debate. Simple matters are, she was exactly where she told people she'd be, but somehow it's spread into a mystery bigger than it actually is.

@@ashbridgeindustries380 I suggest googling it cause it's an interesting thing that's often missed. Christie had left three letters behind, one to her Husband (Who just before had left her for another woman, who she was using the name of when they found her), her secretary and most importantly, her Brother in Law. The one to her Husband we don't know the details of, only that it was too private, her secretary got her schedule. The important one is the one to her brother in law, because it was about where she could be found. A Yorkshire Spa. And that's where they found her in the end.

@@PenneySounds the doctor met both Dickens and Shakespear right, when are they gonna meet Doyle? Since DW is basically a sci-fi parody of Sherlock Holmes. A chaotic genius who spends time on their own in a box like appartment, solving mystery with the relatable companion who is supposed to be us in the story, simplifying everything so we'd understand the plot. Also one big bad guy who is the equal to the hero if they chose the wrong path. Okay okay okay here me out...what if the Doctor travels back in time to before Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes. The Doctor saves their life and that inspires him to write Sherlock Holmes. The TARDIS being 221B Baker Street, The Doctor being Sherlock, the companion at the time being Watson and the enemy of the week was the Master aka Moriarty. What if that one adventure inspired him to write Sherlock Holmes. He obviously changes the names around to fit with his story and time period. Like say if it was Jodie's Doctor then he would find it hard to believe that a woman save his life so he made Sherlock a man, he saw the chemistry between Jodie's Doctor and Yaz and made Irene Adler, John Bishop is obviously John Watson and then the Master. (I've got nothing against woman saving the day but it was just an example on what the time period could have been like)

The story of Agatha Christie's disappearance from Wikipedia: "In August 1926, Archie asked Agatha for a divorce. He had fallen in love with Nancy Neele, a friend of Major Belcher.[13]: 173-74 On 3 December 1926, the pair quarrelled after Archie announced his plan to spend the weekend with friends, unaccompanied by his wife. Late that evening, Christie disappeared from their home in Sunningdale. The following morning, her car, a Morris Cowley, was discovered at Newlands Corner, parked above a chalk quarry with an expired driving licence and clothes inside.[35][36] The disappearance quickly became a news story, as the press sought to satisfy their readers' "hunger for sensation, disaster, and scandal".[13]: 224 Home Secretary William Joynson-Hicks pressured police, and a newspaper offered a £100 reward (approximately equivalent to £6,000 in 2021). More than a thousand police officers, 15,000 volunteers, and several aeroplanes searched the rural landscape. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gave a spirit medium one of Christie's gloves to find her.[c] Christie's disappearance was featured on the front page of The New York Times.[38] Despite the extensive manhunt, she was not found for another 10 days.[37][39][40] On 14 December 1926, she was located at the Swan Hydropathic Hotel in Harrogate, Yorkshire, 184 miles (296 km) north of her home in Sunningdale, registered as Mrs Tressa[d] Neele (the surname of her husband's lover) from "Capetown [sic] S.A." (South Africa).[42] The next day, Christie left for her sister's residence at Abney Hall, Cheadle, where she was sequestered "in guarded hall, gates locked, telephone cut off, and callers turned away"." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie

I like the mention of Doyle. Contrary to his most famous character, he was not a very logical man.

Doyle was famous for it. He was the biggest defender of the Cottingley Fairies hoax. A couple little girls with a camera cut dancers out of a book, drew wings and stuck them on them, and took photos with them, then told people they'd met fairies and taken photos with them, and Doyle totally believed them. He was also a proponent of seances, while Houdini spent a lot of time trying to expose seance hoaxers. There were even times when Houdini would perform a trick, and Doyle would believe it was real magic and would actually try to convince Houdini that he had supernatural powers. The man was not great at critical thinking. Houdini on the other hand inspired a long tradition of performance illusionists exposing frauds, something others like The Amazing Randi and Penn and Teller would later carry on.

@@PenneySounds That first instance was 8 episodes apart, if you include the 2007 Christmas Special. RTD probably knew they were going to do Agatha Christie when he’d finalised the script for Last of the Time Lords. Then, with the 6th Doctor story, again, he’s reading a book by one of the famous authors in history. And the Orient Express wasn’t made by Doctor Who, it was an actual book she wrote. The “in space” part was probably what gave Moffat the idea for Mummy on the Orient Express but even still, you’re celebrating this when they do the same for Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare. It’s the lowest level shit possible. Also, telling me to “Pay closer attention” is one of the worst defences I’ve seen of something. Up there with “You just didn’t understand it” and “The themes make everything better”.

"The forth was just cheap nostalgia" no, it's just a reference. Not made a big deal out of at all, just a funny reference since it was about wasps.

J.K has the best-selling book series. But Agatha Christie has sold 1 billion copies in English alone, and her books have been translated into 100 languages.

@@PenneySounds Doctor Who can’t even establish a single rule of how time travel (the core element of the show) operates within the show. Continuity is when important details of the plot are upheld scene by scene and throughout a show. This video is just a bunch of references and in-jokes.
