Hmm, I wonder, a genetic experiment. I wonder if the Master ‘created’ her while he had the Doctor’s hand… or is she Susan’s mum?

Ta, yep I saw that Radiophonic Workshop thing. Would love to have worked somewhere like that. Boys and toys… You go first on Posion Sky. I am still writing mine!

Go for it! I’ve just caught up on The Poison Sky, and my thoughts on it will go up tonight hopefully.It will be interesting – I got a text from a friend on Saturday night asking how the Doctor could possibly have a daughter… and my reply was – I have no idea, I’ll find out by watching it just like everyone else!What do you think – genetic experiment to improve the Time Lord race? (didn’t work, if that’s the case!)I can’t see that sharing your thoughts on this would make you any more of a geek than an article on the theme tune (by the way – I really enjoyed that: I’d just read something about it on the BBC site, and there’s some video clips of Dick Mills and Mark Ayres demonstrating some of the old equipment on there – I’ll see if I can find it and I’ll send you the link)!

I like that: ‘A love for all life, not just one’. Yeh, I agree that was how it used to be.You know what, we may find out about Time Lord lurve on Saturday. This is going to be an INTERESTING episode and I’m even going to preview it later this week in the blog. There’s loads that it might cover and call me a geek but I want to share my thoughts before and after the episode!

The romance thing: I’ve been bugged by this too. The one thing I genuinely disliked about Rose was the romance thing. Sure its another angle on the Doctor and his relationship to others, and sure, its an unexplored take (if you discount the mis-firing McGann TV Movie – which I thought was great in most aspects, but the infamous kiss and resulting will-they-won’t they was not one of those…). But really, what’s the point? The Doctor is a tortured soul. Capable of love, but a love for all life rather than for one person/creature. Plus, why would he fall for a teenager from a London council estate? Of all the galaxies in all of the universe, he had to land in hers…You’re right though – it all detracts from the genius of the character and the stories. That’s what I like about the Donna element – the complete lack of interest. As Catherine Tate put it on the Jonathan Ross chat show… “You’ve got two hearts – I don’t wanna know what else you’ve doubled up on…” But Rose is coming back.Last year, I was happy – I really like Martha, I thought she was excellent – and an improvement on Rose. But now they’ve swapped Martha for Donna and are also bringing Rose back. It was good news that Martha wasn’t going away completely, but then I found out that she’s only back for 2 episodes and my heart sank. I have an awful feeling I’m going to get bored of a romantic reunion… and I don’t want to – this is Who!
