How many Time Lords does it take to change a light bulb?

It looks like 11th Doctor Matt Smith needed to phone a friend.

You can see more photos from the set and descriptions of what was happening in these scenes at Doctor Who TV.

About Taminar

When I grow up, I want to make movies and write books. Now in my 50s, I wonder if I'll ever really accomplish the dreams of my youth. I have made two short films, one for a college film-making class, the other for an MTV-sponsored contest. I have written short plays that have been produced, and a few short stories and reviews that have been published. I also perform and direct for community theatre. My working life has included stints in local TV news, public relations, retail management and cashier, and for a couple of years, I made the rides go at Walt Disney World. I have two cats and a husband.

How many Timelords does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two; one to hold the bulb and one to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

Or alternately, 11;

One to grumpily tell everyone they aren’t doing it right,

One to play the recorder while everyone else does the work,

One to fight off (using Venusian Karate) the army of environmentalist insisting they use a CFL bulb,

One to stand around all goggly-eyed playing with his yo-yo and being eccentric,

One to hold the ladder whilst looking around to make sure Adric stays the Hell away,

One to strut around telling everyone how he’d replace the bulb better than whoever is actually doing it,

One to try climbing his short self up the side of the Tardis using his “?” umbrella,

One to contemplate which half of him should change the bulb; the human or Time Lord half,

One to not show up because he’s too good to associate with the others for less than $5 million,

One to say “I’m sorry….I’m so sorry” to the burned out bulb lying on the ground,

And one to climb up and change the damned thing!
