Prediction: Mark Gatiss' "The Captain" will turn out to be an ancestor of the Brigadier, who will then go on to tell the tale of his adventures to his grandson Alastair. It actually fits nicely into my theory that Col. Lethbridge-Stewart had heard of the TARDIS long before he met the Doctor. When someone first describes the TARDIS to him in "The Web of Fear," he seems to accept it pretty casually. And this is Lethbridge-Stewart we're talking about, for pete's sake! He never believed anything! And yet he takes the story of a spaceship inside a police box at face value?! There's gotta be more to that.
The whole "old companion meeting the young-looking Doctor" is something I've been constantly arguing for since the early days of Tennant. I'm very disappointed that both Davies and Moffat dropped that ball.
Well, I did like Jo's reaction when she met Matt Smith in "The Death of the Doctor."
Jo Jones: What Doctor? *The* Doctor? *My* Doctor?
Sarah Jane Smith: Well, he can change his face.
Jo Jones: I know that, but into a baby's?
The Doctor: Oi! Imagine it from my point of view! Last time I saw you, Jo Grant, you were, what, 21, 22? It's like someone baked you!
Yeah, Susan's lack of any sort of reaction at all always bothered me in Five Doctors.
Honestly, I was more bothered by the lack of reaction from any of the future Doctors that met her there.
I'm wondering if we'll get more than just a hallucination in the new special. I'm wondering if the 2 Doctors will make each other fulfill their promise, "One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back...."
It is Polly but it's a different actress to the one who played her in An Adventure in Space and Time.
Fine with me. David Bradley made a great William Hartnell and the actress playing Verity Lambert was a decent likeness but none of the companions seemed quite right.
