Gallifreyans have a bypass respiratory system ,and can hold their breathe while remaining active for around twenty minutes, if given warning.

Wait, the Tardis has a soul, that was already established when it was given human form in the one ep earlier in the season. Wouldnt surprise me if she decided to pilot herself.

Oy, get out of it!

You're trying to add logic to Dr. Who I see

You're gonna have a bad time with that

But you shouldn't *hold* your breath in space, you need to keep your lungs empty by exhaling completely before entering the vacuum.

What you really need to worry about is the pressure change- all the liquids in your body will boil instantly.

Love his "OOOHH DEAR!"

Dont love how this prequel to the following special was actually better than the episode itself.
