A slightly out there theory about Doctor Who and Gary Kemp
Okay, so a couple of years ago, I read in a newspaper that wild rumour about RTD thinking about making "Doctor Who- the Musical". A few months later, when no musical was being made, Megan and I took it upon ourselves to write it ourselves. We never even finished the planning faze of this mission (we still talk about finishing it on a regular basis though).
It was all pretty cracky, it had things like Teleporting Dancing Alpaccas and an insane with jealousy Martha persuading an in-love Dalek to kill Rose so that she can seduce the Doctor. I don't want to go into too much detail, because we may write it as a fic and then drug/persuade our friends to act it out for us so we can put it on youtube, and I would hate to spoil you all ;) I would be seriously considering the whole fic thing if it wasn't a musical, because musicals don't really work on paper but between us we came up with some pretty extreme crack; (Rose singing "I will Survive", anybody?).
Meh, anywho, the point of this post was to talk about how, whilst planning this "Doctor Who: The Musical" Thing, Megan noticed that Gold- Spandau Ballet, could actually be about Daleks, as they are were Golden, and "indestructible". After noticing this, we both noticed that the line "you're bound to return, there's something I could have learned" is sort of reflective of how the Daleks kept popping up every single time they were "defeated" . So we decided that Gary Kemp himself, was actually a time traveller, who visited the 21st Century, got frustrated at how RTD kept bringing back the Daleks even when he'd claimed that they were destroyed for good. He then travelled back to the 1983, wrote Gold, launched Spandau Ballet ino the charts (okay, so True was a number one before Gold, but only by a few months), and was able to vent his frustrations without anybody realising what an angry little fanboy he was... until now...
So, that was a couple of years ago. As I am back into Spandau Ballet in a big way at the moment, I have been listening to them quite a lot. But when I listen to music, I really don't pay much attention to the lyrics, I'm more into the melody (which is why rap music and a lot of RnB is lost on me), so I only noticed, whilst walking through the village a few weeks ago, bobbing along to my ipod, that it has the line "the Man with the suit and the face, you know that he was there on the case, now he's in love with you..." which is obviously about the Doctor being madly in love with the Daleks. I mean, Ten wore a suit, did he not? And it would explain a lot of the anger he had towards the Daleks if he was in love with them, how many times did he begin to trust them then have them stab him in the back? It hurts when people you love do that to you.
The only conclusion we can draw from this, is that Gary Kemp has actually gone even further into the future, and seen an episode in which Moffat reveals that the Doctor really is in love with the Daleks, and is trying to warn us with Gold, softening the blow for us when it happens.
And as if that wasn't conclusive enough proof that Kemp is a time traveller, check out this line "I hope you find a little more time, remember we were partners in crime". Time- Doctor Who is all about time (travel)... he's just subtly hinting at what the song is about. And Partners in Crime was the name of episode 4x01, coincidence? I think not.
Impressive, eh? I could be a conspiracy theorist if I carry on like this XD
Also; I had a slightly deep thought earlier. You know I keep going on about how I've finished compulsory education, and don't legally have to go back to school ever again? Well, I have a cousin who is starting school for the very first time in September, and our grandparents were around the other day, telling us about how she was very excited, and that her new school had asked her parents to prepare her by making sure that she is familiar with using colouring pens and pencils, and can recognise colours, and can recognise her name when it's called, and can count to ten, and use the toilet by herself, etc.
I was just thinking about that, and it hit me that 11 years ago, that was me. I was this little girl who could just about read my own name, and who always drew square houses with three windows and a door, with a blue line across the top as the sky. And on my first day, I couldn't for the life of me understand why we didn't have to take our shoes off when we entered the building. And then look at me now, just 11 years later, I'm a completely different person. The amount that I have learnt... it would have seemed impossible to my 5 year old self that I could even hold that amount of information in my brain... adults just seemed a whole other species. I mean... when I get the results back from my exams, I'm going to have qualifications. Real life qualifications. And all those years of moaning about having to go to school when I was 6/7/8... now I don't... Wow. I'm completely mind boggled.
And the really, really, really wierd thing is, the only two memories I have of my first days at school are of being totally confused by the shoes thing, and coming out of school at lunchtime (we only had to go in until lunchtime in our first term) and being greeted by my mother, who pointed across the playground and said to me "I've just been talking to that lady, her daughter Claire is only 9 days older than you, you should get to know each other". I was with Claire, today, playing cards in my back garden, talking about the A Levels we were going to take next year. Little old five year old me would've never realised that the little blonde girl across the playground who I'd never spoken to but my mum said I should befriend would be one of the closest friends I have over a decade later...
