The second of the sci - fi series ' sixtieth - anniversary specials saw the TARDIS squad strand on a ghost ship on the edge of the macrocosm , stalk by an unknowable repugnance .

WithDoctor Who : Wild Blue Yonder ’s meeting with Newtonaccidentally shift Earth ’s history , Richard Skelhamon Twitter imagines a surprising crossover with 2013’sGravitythat envisioned the conditional relation of the figure mishearing the Doctor and Donna ’s pun .
In his post , the poster forGravityis reimagined with the TARDIS as the field , as the vessel is caught in the artwork ’s depiction of the movie ’s Explorer disaster . However , the title has also been adjusted to be " Mavity " , implying the far - reaching ripples of the show ’s current precede span ’s simple joke .
Will Doctor Who Turn “Mavity” into A Running Gag?
Doctor Whodidn’t just bound the cold - capable antic to the pre - title sequence , as despite the episode focalize on the Doctor and Donna ’s meeting with perverted doppelgangers at the sharpness of the universe , the minute was feel throughout the instalment despite Newton being confine to the other scene . When speaking about the scientific side of their situation , both the Doctor and Donna said " Mavity " or else of " Gravity " , imply that their small action for good alter history , even if at first the Doctor was in brief confuse .

The " Mavity " gag was a much - needed source of levity in a tense , unsettlingDoctor Whoepisode . With preternatural trunk revulsion and psychological suffering plague the Doctor and Donna , the mentions of " mavity " offered brief interludes from the installment ’s scarey moments , helping it be both terrific and fun . While audiences never saw the wider import of the slip - up , Skelham ’s piece is a play playing period on what could be in theWhoniverse .
Doctor Who : Wild Blue Yonderis currently available on Disney+ for international audiences , and BBC iPlayer for UK TV audience .
