In the series 12 episode ‘Fugitive of the Judoon’ in response to someone (not going to say who!) saying something along the lines of ‘Well done, 5 points!’ the 13th Doctor says, ‘Don’t do points, points are my thing’.

My question is, are points her thing? I don’t remember a time when she references points in any previous episode. I haven’t watched the classic seasons of Doctor Who, so is this a reference to an older doctor?

Many thanks.

    She's done it twice in twenty episodes

    In the spirit of 'timey-whimey' she also does it in the following episode, Praxeus when she says 'Gold stars for my precious engineers'. The 12th Doctor seems to use gold stars and points interchangeably.

    Yeah, I did notice that when I watched it! Good to see at least a little bit of consistency.

In "The Tsuranga Conundrum," when Yaz locates the bomb on board the ship they're on:

DOCTOR: Ten points for Yasmin Khan. And yes, I am keeping score, for all of you. Ronan, up your game. Jokes. So...

Then, in "Demons of the Punjab":

PREM: What's she saying?
RYAN: If I had to guess, I think we're going demon hunting.
DOCTOR: Gold star for Ryan. Oh, wait. Was I awarding points? Oh, I forgot about the points.

    And note that she was back to gold stars again in Praxeus.
