IIRC, the original intent was for Rory to be older than Amy, he was already a qualified and working nurse in The Eleventh Hour when Amy was only supposed to be 19. Then season 6, specifically Lets Kill Hitler comes along and retcons them as being the same age.
I always interpreted them as peers (or even that Rory was a little younger, at least until LKH and I saw how much more wildly unconvincing he was as a sixteen-year-old than Amy and Mels), but I knew a lot of people who'd been scrubbed-up doing internships and work-study things in hospitals even in my last year of High School, so I don't think I would've interpreted Rory as being a graduated RN (and, of course, I'm completely ignorant of how nursing works as a career in the UK and am generalizing from what I know of the US, and the wikipedia article is far too comprehensive to give me the information I want in the time I'm willing to put in for a parenthetical in a one-paragraph post).
That was heartwarming. Definitely the story to read at times lilke this.
Yep. Mods?
Sweet! I wasn't really planning to participate in that one, but now they're both going to, I'm there!
I think RTD mentions that also in his book. Sophie Aldred once mentioned in DWM there was talk of her appearing too. I really wish we got that episode.Damn. Freema Agyeman just revealed that there were plans for Martha to appear on The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Yeah, I think I knew about Ace making an appearance but I don't think I ever knew about Martha doing the same.
Series 4 (closely followed by series 5 and 6) is my favorite of modern Doctor Who. Almost perfect in every way (I'm still not a fan of "The Doctor's Daughter" but I ought to watch it again at some point).
The Doctor's Daughter has too many characters I think. Martha is wasted in it and reading The Writer's Tale it seems to be because RTD forgot she was meant to be in it. Through his online discussion he comes up with the idea for the story and develops it a bit, and then realises that slot is one of the three episodes he promised Freema. She does get a bit lost in the story.
