TENTOOROSE APPRECIATION MONTH 2023
“There’s loads of us [at UNIT.] Rose, she works with The Doctor. You know, her fella. You’ve met him. The one with the hair.” — DOCTOR WHO: THE SIEGE OF BIG BEN (2018)
“Rose is actually happy in a parallel universe with a half-human Doctor.” - Russell T. Davies
Hello, Whovians — we’re excited to announce the #BringBackTentoo movement!
In July 2008, millions of viewers tuned in to watch ‘Journey’s End’; where the Doctor and Rose were left hand-in-hand on Bad Wolf Bay.
While fandom has remained active, continuing to generate endless works inspired by this iconic pairing, there’s sadly been little official content from the people who launched the ship!
Nonetheless, our devotion remains unwavering. We persist, loving the OTP; ceaselessly spreading love and fan-made content worldwide!
The purpose of this movement is to show there is still an audience that is very interested in revisiting these two. One that would love to see the Doctor and Rose together again, on-screen or off, living their best lives in Pete’s World.
Regardless of whether it’s a spin-off, comics, audio adventures, or — and this, we believe, is crucial — anything at all, we would just love to have them back in some way. We’ve realized that perhaps there hasn’t been enough collective buzz to bring this into reality, which is why we’re looking to rally up as much support as we can.
Already with us? Sign the petition! Our petition will be emailed directly to the powers that be; including Russell T Davies, Big Finish, the BBC, and more.
Have questions? Doubts? Need a little more convincing? Then read on…

The thing that’s getting me is that Ten’s visiting of everyone as his final reward had some purpose to it (saving Martha and Mickey, seeing Donna’s wedding, etc)—except for Rose. He just asked her what the date was. He just wanted to talk to her. Hear her voice again, look into her eyes one last time—even if they didn’t know him.

we rightfully go on and on about the extended cut of the kiss but i really love looking at the actual kiss in the episode. the issue with is that it’s quick, so unless you rewatch and pause and look at it frame by frame you miss the nuance it has. of course the framing they used is really understandable because the other doctor is right there, but i love to focus on the moment rose pulls tentoo toward her.
so many things here
1: his unwavering gaze. he said what he said! this is not a man who is afraid to say i love you anymore. he says it all the time, i know it. it just says COMMITMENT to me.
2. look at rose’s face before she kisses him. she maintains eye contact with him, then she searches his entire face and then leans up and kisses him. she is hearing what he said, she is looking into his eyes and recongizing him and she is choosing him. she is so active in this moment, she is so engaged. it’s so good. the microexpressions billie does are so underrated.
3. i love the sort of dance and poetry of this kiss and the way her eyes stay open to look at him while his close before her lips are on his. it’s so fitting of their mindsets and their journeys while apart. she keeps her eyes open to make sure he’s still real, because she can’t stop looking at him because she looked for him for so long. he closes his eyes because all he has wanted to is to be with her and he’s finally at peace. he isn’t suprised or flounding as he does with other kisses in varying degrees. this is a kiss of a man who has found home again. it’s so serene. and that is a massive thing for the doctor, to literally and metaphorically fall into her. and people think tentoo is this mindless cl*ne who is trapped with rose - but david played this as the same 1000 year old being he always was and you can literally see that here. that IS the doctor. their characters are just SO IN CHARACTER here?
it’s a good kiss. it’s a kiss that says so much in such a short shot. billie may have mixed feelings about this ending but she absolutely nailed rose’s love for this doctor nonetheless and i really want to see more of them so bad. i just need to see it [shaking the table]

The Doctor: Rose is great you know for a human
*Rose does literally anything*
The Doctor:
Nah… it was more like this:
DOCTOR WHO | The Long Game
It’s 18 years since ‘The Long Game’.
I love how seriously confused Adam is during this whole exchange. He just doesn’t get these two. Thank god he gets dropped off at the end of the episode.
Though, odds are he gets picked up by and experimented on by Torchwood One, so…
But anyway, these two…
