Welcome to this week’s Doctor Who’s Day roundup, a gatheration of all things Gallifreyan taken from the last week on the internet and social media.

And what a week it has been! Not for the first time, the universe of Doctor Who was mentioned in the British Houses of Parliament.

Scott Mann, the Conservative MP for North Cornwall, was taking part in an online commons debate via video chat when something strange happened to his audio feed. Nigel Evans, the deputy speaker of the house, had to stop him because of a certain Skaronian lilt in his voice:

And what’s more, he even takes the time to make sure Mann doesn’t take offense at being compared to the most evil creatures in the universe. Fantastic!
