Could River Song have had a few off screen adventures with Tennant’s Doctor(s) or do you think they were planned but Tennant left before the episodes could have been made?

My personal theory is that River has had offscreen adventures with all the Doctors from Tennant onwards – well maybe not Ten, or Eleven would remember – but definitely…[Read more]

@DrSmith – Actually I have watched that minisode before, I think actually when it aired… though because it was a while ago now I don’t remember too much about it.

In the movie, the Doctor being half-human was some ‘audiences will relate more…[Read more]

I don’t understand how they knew he was a Timelord,

They’re from UNIT; it’s mentioned in the scene when they send the ambulance back to UNIT base. Really keen fans will also spot the UNIT ‘Greyhound’ radio call sign.

The Troughton-Pertwee and Pertwee-Baker regenerations were basically in front of UNIT personnel; they have a good w…[Read more]

Thank you for the apology. We don’t mean to be rude but I hope you understand how incongruous your post seemed the other night, when all the other posts were grieving our lost member.  There are a lot of people here who are hurting at the moment.  It’s like any other community, you need to go a bit slowly to get the tone of it right if y…[Read more]
