I think the hint has to do with repeating or redoing. First choice was a redo. The hint was a redo. The Dr Who pic. Is repeating over and over. The Dr Who as a hint denial over and over. In the TV show the Dr keeps coming back. Obamacare was a redo(thats putting it nicely). Some one in the first hint thread noticed that somehow the numbers were repeating.
If you add in the assist angle that could be a relay. So it repeats. Usually the simplest solution is the answer. This is as simple as my simple brain can come up with.
