  • Moffat:

    Okay, so, for this scene, the Doctor needs to be dangling from the bottom of the TARDIS, several stories off the ground. We're gonna get you a stunt double, Matt, so don't worry about-

  • Matt:

    I want to do it.

  • Moffat:

    ...What?

  • Matt:

    I want to hang off the TARDIS myself, no stunt double.

  • Moffat:

    Matt, it's not exactly safe, we can't use really any wiring for that, so it's not advisable-

  • Matt:

    No! I want to do it myself! This is the 50th, man! No holding back! Will David be watching?

  • Moffat:

    Well, it's possible-

Women who are fat are said to have ‘let themselves go.’ The very phrase connotes a loosening of restraints. Women in our society are bound. In generations past, the constriction was accomplished by corsets and girdles…. Women today are bound by fears, by oppression, and by stereotypes that depict large women as ungainly, unfeminine, and unworthy of appreciation…. Above all, women must control themselves, must be careful, for to relax might lead to the worst possible consequence: being fat.
