A Hater Revisits nuWho

Maybe the screwdriver is similar to the TARDIS in that it has some weird psychic connection to the Doctor. It's a part of him, in a way.
 
That's what I have always assumed. Wasn't the Doctor surprised that River had one of her own? That implies that they're not a "common tool" for "common people", as if she had just whipped out a piece of the TARDIS.
 
River's was also identical to the Doctor's (underneath all the extra stuff). After all, a few episodes earlier, it didn't seem at all odd to him that Miss Foster had a Sonic Pen that was all but identical to his in functionality. Though it did seem odd to me.
 
the Doctor gave a sonic lip stick to Sarah Jane, infact he gave her two.

Quite why he had a sonic lipstick lying around I dont know, but im not sure I want to know.
 
They were Susan's. Duh. :p
or possibly Romanas?

I wonder if there is a second wardrobe somewhere of all the clothing left behind by companions?

That could potentially be a very poignant moment if the Doctor had a scene there.

Imagine the tears as he finds Sarah Jane's Andy Pandy outfit...
plus if he ever did regenerate into a woman, he will have something to wear.

Since she was wearing it when he dropper her off in Aberdeen I'd have to wonder what he was doing in her closet. :techman:
 
U.S.S. Bones ... why have you forsaken us?

Give us a new review!
Sorry :(. It's hard to find the solid block of time necessary. The good news is, I have most of the next three days free, so I should be able to have one up (or maybe even two) by the end of Sunday.

One thing to throw out there until then though: what exactly was the point of Julie Gardner? Could she be the luckiest person in all television?

She's the producer, she keeps the budgets in check, runs ideas past the brass and tries to get them to run with it, etc...

I sometimes think people imagine TV shows miraculously spring into life without anyone behind the scenes doing anything...

Reading The Writer's Tale it seems like she works pretty fucking hard, too. I think that's part of then reason I like the book so much, it gave a proper behind the scenes look at it and made you realise just how hard these people really work.
 
I was reading Moffat's article in the latest DWM and he explains quite well the different things that he, Piers Wenger and Beth Willis do.

As the article puts it. "Piers is also the head of drama for BBC Wales, the same role Julie Gardner had until she moved to LA."
 
I have to admit that in some of the commentaries she is so overly enthusiastic that she does seem to come across as a bit of a "yes man" for Russell.

It's articles like that that make me wish I read the magazine... but I don't.

Which is ironic, as her position as head of BBC Wales means she was actually RTD's boss, if I understand things correctly.

Also, I'd imagine that her position meant that she was responsible for commissioning and executive producing other programs for BBC Wales.
