Oh, my giddy aunt.

Could be Patrick Troughton's Doctor, or Lorna Watson's Sister Boniface, or possibly Sister Boniface making a TV reference to Doctor Who. After a bit of research, the last one is unlikely. Patrick Troughton became the Doctor in 1966. Sister Boniface takes place in the early sixties. I mention this only because IMDB has a Trivia item about her referencing the second Doctor in the episode that is a Doctor Who inspired. S3, E3, Professor Y. It may be the writer of Sister Boniface paying tribute to the Doctor, but Sister Boniface uses the phrase a year earlier in S2, E3, The It Girl. Both episodes were written by Neil Irvine. I'm now wondering how many other episodes she says it in. Is it a Sister thing, or is it a Neil Irvine thing?

The phrase is a common expression that goes through cycles of popularity. One source I found said it first appear in print in The Journal of a Disappointed Man, 1919, by W. N. P. Barbellion. I read another reference that said it was used in replacement of Oh My God. So it seems reasonable that Sister B. would use Oh My Giddy Aunt as a substitute.

So -
TV reference to the second Doctor?
TV reference to Sister Boniface?
TV reference of the Sister Boniface writers making a TV reference to Doctor Who.

I haven't said it lately, but I'm just pulling all this out of thin Ethernet air. I'm am not an authority about anything.

Funputer does not recognize the word "who". Do you mean "horsey"?

"Did you give her a sword?"

"A sword?"

"Yes. It's like a knife, but huge."
