There are many reasons why the Doctor has difficulty flying his TARDIS. The most basic reason is that, well, the central control pillar has six stations, which means that a TARDIS typically has six crew members. The Doctor, however, is flying it all on his own.

This absolutely does my head in! I'm SO worried if something gets messed up... It would be easy to do something wrong if you're in the past... and you may not even know you've done something. One thing could change EVERYTHING 😳

Expanding Time Travel in DW: there are two general tropes found in time-travel stories: Grandfather Paradox and Bootstrap Paradox. Grandfather Paradox is the classic 'if you kill your own grandfather, you can't be born.' Think BACK TO THE FUTURE. Bootstrap Paradox (far more common) is the 'kill your grandfather, then become your grandfather.' Which trope is found in DW? Yes.

That makes sense! I did wonder if even if they left quickly, would them being there still be written in Rose's mum's history and memories! So much to try and wrap my head around 😖

If you ever do, make sure to keep those scraps for a "outtakes from x months of messing up my intro" video or something. :)

Time Travel is a lot like Faster-than-Light travel - because it is physically impossible, the writer is free to make any rules they want, and as long as those rules are followed, everything is good. One of the main rules of DW time travel is that once the TARDIS has appeared in a moment in time, those events are set in stone; going back to that time is... problematic.
