"So we've met Tesla and Edison," said Ryan, lounging on the steps in the TARDIS console room. "Rosa Parks, and Mary and Percy Shelley. And Lord Bryon. Who else in Earth's history have you met?"
"She mentioned Pythagoras and Audrey Hepburn when she gave me her sunglasses on Desolation," mentioned Graham, sitting a few steps down from Ryan, cup of tea in hand.
"I've met lots of people from your past," said the Doctor, kneeling at the base of the console, rummaging through a dented metal toolbox. "And your future, but I'm not supposed to tell you about them, got to preserve the time lines and all that."
"Like who?" asked Yaz, leaning against one of the crystal pillars. "In the past, I mean."
"Several Kings, and Queens, I even ended up marrying one! And writers, met loads of writers.
"What about Dickens?" asked Graham, not even going to think about the Doctor's comment about marrying royalty. "I was partial to a bit of Dickens when I was a teen."
"So you were really rock and roll, ay Granddad," sniggered Ryan.
"Yep, there were ghosts," replied the Doctor as she lifted a section of flooring and heaved it to one side. "Or, well, aliens that looked like ghosts. And I've met Shakespeare, though he did flirt with me and my friend. We defeated some alien witches!"
"And you told us about Agatha Christie and the giant wasp," pointed out Yaz.
"Please no more giant insects," moaned Graham, "please Doctor. The spiders were bad enough."
"I'd better not take you to meet the Zarbi then." The Doctor stuck her arm down the hole and came up with a length of pipe which spontaneously disconnected into two parts with a whoosh that blew into her face.
"What about Churchill? My dad always wanted to meet Churchill," said Graham.
"Met Churchill," she replied, sonicing the broken connector. "Met Hitler too. I put him in a cupboard. He was not a happy Führer that day, I'll tell ya."
"Really?" exclaimed Ryan. "That's so cool!"
"You know," said Graham. "I'm not sure everything you say is true."
"It is true," defended the Doctor as she fitted the two ends of pipe together and dropped it back into the hole. "I've just lived for far longer than you have and I have a time machine."
"So who have you met from the future?" Asked Yaz. The Doctor gave her a sly grin.
"That would be telling," she said, then dived underneath the console before anyone could utter another word.
