 Extension question: What can you spot in Doctor Who that you will find in most television dramas? (E.g. characters, dramatic music etc.) These are called key conventions - list as many as you can think of. 

In the video you can see an antagonist and a hero, we can also notice how they built tension using dramatic music and by introduicng a big plot twist from when the doctor turns into a woman.

Extension question 2: What would a Doctor Who fan ('Whovian') particularly enjoy about this scene?
The plot twist and the element of surprise could have shocked the audiencve and made them more excited for what was coming next. By using a big unexpected plot twist like this is creates curiosity among the viewers, which wil lead to them waiting for the next episode of season.
