Doctor Who in the Nineteenth Century

Doctor Who is back! I hasten to add that this post is spoiler-free. Never fear: no spoilers here.

Reading this, you're almost certainly aware that the Doctor is a frequent visitor to the Victorian era, as explained in great detail here.

Some Whovians I know resent this, prefering adventures in space to adventures in time. Personally, however, I can imagine nothing better than going back to the Victorian age, and completely understand why the Doctor keeps going there!

This got me thinking about which Victorian things the Doctor should do next, and I'm convinced that he should gatecrash the Great Exhibition of 1851. If only for the look on Prince Albert's face. The TARDIS could become an exhibit; there were far stranger things on show from around the globe! According to this site, the Doctor has visited before. But never on-screen. And paradoxes could be avoided by visiting at a different time; it was open for over 5 months, after all.

But if the Doctor goes back to the Victorian era again, I'd like to go with him please!

Anyone want to come with us? Which Victorian event do you want to see the Doctor explore?
