My friend and I were messaging each other about the Doctor’s study and I thought it’d be funny if Twelve had what he thought was an alien life form on his desk for fifty years, but what was actually some random wire that was just lying around.

Image 1 is a close-up of the Doctor’s office desk in The Pilot, on which is something wirey in a glass display jar.

Image 2 is Bill Potts looking at it, alongside the message “Are those just fairy lights in a display jar?”

Image 3 is the Doctor looking put out, with the message “I thought it was some space plant? But tbh you’re right it looks like a copper wire”
