Doctor Who

Bill and The Doctor in “Thin Ice”

Travelling to the past, there's got to be rules. If I step on a butterfly, it could send ripples through time that mean I'm not even born yet in the first place, and I could just disappear.

Definitely. I mean, that's what happened to Pete.

[Bill looks concerned, then realizes the Doctor is putting her on.]

Shut up! I'm being serious.

So was Pete.
