In The Face of Evil the Doctor keeps talking about not remembering the business that created Xoanon or how he got involved in the creation of the problem that drove the computer mad. He starts to recall as the episode goes on but his memory of the details is always skiffy, The show doesn't say so but I always took that sketchy memory period as part of 4's early days and figured it happened in the space of that Robot scene. It would be nice if they made the Robot scene more clearly show the Tardis seem to fade and solidify to imply more a take off and landing in a new edition of the episode.At least when #10 left Rose for 30 seconds, the TARDIS did a full dematerialization. #4 didn't even get that far.
I think it's always a neat idea that in a 10 or 30 second period, the Doctor could have done a great many things elsewhere.
Maybe the blu-rays will fix this?![]()
