Check out Tate and Tennant ’s detailed account below :
Catherine Tate : This is what I do n’t understand , OK ? I get that we meet Isaac Newton and he mishears us , and instead of gravity , he order mavity . What I do n’t understand is , pass on that I was there … Why am I .. ? Why do I now think it ’s mavity ? Has he go to me , “ await into my optic , not around my eye but in my eyes … ”
David Tennant : No ! It ’s the time is running , you see . Even though we zip around in it . So when you said gravity , that ’s the word you ’d determine . But then he mishears you , he convert it to mavity , and because he ’s coin the phrase properly there and then , he then changes history from that mo on … In that moment , when he change it , it dominoes through … secular dominoes do that , and it touch everything from that present moment on . You shift … You change time . You change your own education system in that moment .
Tate : They’re going to have to hack this minute down a bit , are n’t they ?
The Doctor & Donna Have Accidentally Rewritten History Before
With the nature of time travel , the medico and their companions throughout the years have had to be incredibly delicate when preserving the timeline , aiming to avoid rewrite fixed point and make drastic alternate story . Despite their efforts , this has n’t prevented any interference on the Time Lord ’s part throughoutDoctor Who ’s 60 age of escapade , as even during William Hartnell ’s incumbency , the Doctor play a hired hand in both the Siege of Troy and the Great Fire of Rome . The Tenth Doctor ( Tennant ) would also unwittingly fell remarks that would inspire William Shakespeare ’s ( Dean Lennox Kelly ) writing , though he would ensure that he did n’t copy anyone else ’s works and cause further tortuousness .
Donna has also found herself inspiring famous diachronic figure , as seen during her and the medico ’s meeting with Agatha Christie ( Fenella Woolgar ) in time of year 4 ’s " The Unicorn and the Wasp " . Alongside naming several of her unwritten novel , Donna would inspire Christie to create dear criminal offence - solver Miss Marple , joking they should have joint copyright possession . Even the Fourteenth Doctor is n’t immune to these errors , as his journey to Skaro inDoctor Who ’s 2023 Children in Need short " goal : Skaro"sees the Doctor naming the Daleks and giving them their plunger arm .
As Sylvester McCoy ’s Seventh Doctor once said , " Every great decision creates rippling " , but sometimes the smallest ones can leave a bad encroachment , as go through with " mavity " . While Tennant ’s account feels meet forDoctor Who ’s complicated lore , it is clear that the scenario created a confusing paradox that could result many who linger on it confused . However , with " Wild Blue Yonder " stick with the joke even in its tenser moments , the " mavity " crease could become a surprising running gag for some clock time , enshrining the Doctor and Donna ’s pratfall inDoctor Whohistory .
