Just saw this on the news. Everyone knows that this enforced buddy buddy climate with Alliance and Horde is going to lead up to the Fifth War. When that day comes, you’ll be called upon to rain hell.
After the famous Christmas Truce 1914 the involved soldiers were shuffled around to other sections of the frontline to prevent further “fraternisation”.
It worked. Nothing like that incident has ever occurred since.
It’s the backdrop for one of the best uses of History in the Doctor Who franchise.
CAPTAIN: Is this madness? Am I going mad?
DOCTOR: Madness? Well, you’re an officer from World War One at the South Pole, being pursued by an alien through frozen time. Madness was never this good.
CAPTAIN: World War One?
DOCTOR: Judging by the uniform, yes.
CAPTAIN: Yes, but what do you mean, one?
DOCTOR: Oh, sorry. Spoilers.
