Doctor Who Drabble: Fiction Or Fact

[bk_forever]

Title: Fiction Or Fact
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Clara, Twelfth Doctor, Robin Hood.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 218: Legend at dw100.
Spoilers: Robot Of Sherwood.
Summary: Clara wants to discover the truth behind the legend of Robin Hood.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.





The Doctor would have Clara believe there was never any such person as Robin Hood. He’s merely a legend, an invented character, a storybook hero. Clara doesn’t care; whether Robin Hood is real or fictional, Sherwood Forest is where she wants to go, so she can see for herself. She knows by now that all legends have a basis in fact. The Doctor’s a legend across space and time, and he’s perfectly real.


So is Robin, for all that he turns out to be a robot. In the end, what matters is that he existed, not that he never lived.

Yeah, maybe every legendary person is really a robot! Maybe the Doctor is!

Or maybe he is inside the robot like in "Lets Kill Hitler"?

Ooooh, I forgot about that!

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm glad I remembered.:)

[bk_forever]

And that was one of my favourite episodes too!

I think it was the best acting Karen Gillian did playing a robot.

It's amazing what good actors can pull out of the hat when necessary.

The mouth thing the robot does is funny.*impersonates opening mouth like robot*

I really need to watch that episode again!

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I would if I could find the right series link on my Foxtel.

I think that episode's on the one Eleventh Doctor boxset I don't have. *sigh*
