There is something that happens to the mind in moments of terror. Perhaps we figure it's the last we'll ever have and we record it for the rest of our long journey.

If I'm uncomfortable on stage, everybody can see it. I'm not very good at hiding it.

It just has to feel good.
Laura Mvula

The Doctor does have some long speeches and he talks very quickly. Learning all his babble can take a while, but it's very well written babble so I don't mind and you do get quicker.
