It baffles Rory how the Doctor can be so calm in a crisis that could cost thousands of lives if he makes a mistake, and yet he gets thrown into a panic when he’s run out of tea and the shops are closed.
 

“You’ve got a spaceship that can travel through time. Doesn’t that mean you can just skip ahead a few hours to when the supermarket opens and stock up?” he asks reasonably.

 

“But I need tea now!”

 

Maybe that’s the answer; tea calms the Doctor as nothing else can. When he runs out, that’s the time to worry.

 
 

The End
