calling Dr Who fans

[Lastie]

Her name depends on which Romana you mean. During the Key to Time series she was played by Mary Tamm and then she regenerated - an event never clearly explained - and turned into Lalla Ward.

 

[The-Doctor]

I remember that she changed several times and then became the second Romana they then had an argument about her looking like the princess from the last part of key to time.

Just watched 'Girl in the Fireplace' again.

Creepy...and sad

 

[A New Dawn]

That was one of the creepier ones. I did, however, like the return to the historic shows. The last one before this was "Black Orchid" with Peter Davison.

Doin' a marathon here today of 2005 with Chris Eccleston. Father's Day was so moving. Makes me long for my own dad who passed away in 2002. An avid fan of the old, he would've loved the new series!

[VioletLady]

Yeah, Father's Day is a good one, and very moving...I have a good cry every time I watch it.

 

[Lastie]

I think that 'Father's Day' and 'Idiot's Lantern' count as historical episodes. They were still very different eras, even if there are still people who remember them. 'Unquiet Dead' probably qualifies too, but there's less emphasis on the historical era there, and the same applies to 'Tooth and Claw'.

 

[A New Dawn]

The one about Queen Victoria would be an historical one, too, but I am not sure where it falls in the schedule.

How is Father's Day an historical episode? (You'll have to remind me which one is Father's Day.)

 

[VioletLady]

Father's Day was the one where The Doctor and Rose travel back to 1987, and the day Rose's dad was killed. Rose creates huge problems in the timeline when she takes the opportunity to save her dad from being hit by a speeding car...and the Doctor has to put it all right again.

God bless,

V. L.

 

[A New Dawn]

That is the one I thought it was, and I wouldn't necessarily call that an historical one.

 

[The-Doctor]

Hot scoop for you. I saw Anthony Stewart Head (the Headmaster...School reunion) shopping in Oxford street today. (I was shopping for valentines day!)

John Barrowman did an interview in a local London paper in which he stated that he and David Tennant live in the same building. He prefers Torchwood to Dr Who as the show was written for him apparently.

I enjoyed fathers day...my dad died in 82 he drowned. This episode might explain why the Doctor does not tend to interfere in his own timeline.

"The french really know how to party!" The Doctor

Just watched 'Girl in the Fireplace' again.

Creepy...and sad

Yes that was a very sad episode. Several times things on Dr. Who have made me feel like crying!

 

[.chrys.]

Stayed up 'til one last night watching the 3 hour Battlestar mini-series. All I kept thinking (after two days of nothing but Dr. Who), was Come on Doctor! Where are you? You'd set these cylons straight in less than an half-hour! Hehehe

 

[Captivated]

When we went to Cardiff last summer, a local pointed out the apartment block where David Tennant stays while filming Doctor Who. DS wanted to knock on his door to say 'hi!'. We contented ourselves with staring at it for a full 20 minutes in the hope that he may appear on his balcony! There are apartments available in the same block on holiday let, not the most expensive I've ever seen especially when considering who your neighbour might be!!

 

[The-Doctor]

Yes that was a very sad episode. Several times things on Dr. Who have made me feel like crying!

I watched Doomsday/Army of Ghosts the other night. I find where the Doctor Walks up to the breach and puts his ear to it and we see Rose on the other side crying and then he walks away and we realise that the Doctor is inevitably a lonely traveller.

...but only until the next Tardisode!

 

[The-Doctor]

This is true....but he is the last Timelord. Problem is if Rose did stay with him he would change but live on and she would eventually age and die.

 

[.chrys.]

I think it's debatable as to whether he is the last timelord. Perhaps it is true that he's in his last body as a timelord, but as for the last of the timelords...

I recall him mentioning a son in times past.

"One may tolerate a world of demons, for the sake of an angel."

(Just thought I'd share a bit of wisdom from that entirely different planet called "France".)

However in The Five Doctors the master is offered a complete new set of regenerations if he helps so the door is open for the Doctor to figure out how to get a new regeneration so it may not be the end of him yet.
