Yeah, the BBC called it a moped but the Doctor referred to it as a scooter several times.
You might have noticed that when he gave it away at the end of the show he said to keep it hidden away for a while. Thus, making it clear he also understood it to be a 60's/70's vespa. (Sorry I don't know vespas well but I do know that it was way newer than 1953.)
20 plus years of Doctor Who viewing.
Yep, I'm a nerd.

Yeah, that was "The Idiot's Lantern" from this past spring. It was a good episode.
It wasn't that new, it was like 56-58. But still, the joke is funny. They're in England in 1953, and inexchange for breaking up the kid's parents' marriage, The Doctor gives him a scooter and says "Better keep that hidden for a few years, or people will start asking questions."
Dammit, I wish some dandy in a pinstripe suit who time-travels in a police box with some blonde chav would break up my parents marriage and give me a scooter. Shit. |

Someone should've broken up your parents before conception.
