Also, magister is having trouble commenting and has asked me to add:

Yes to Doris Benton and not real Khan.

Bok in The Daemons is the Master’s Tardis.

Number 6 is dead, the Village is Purgatory and the only way out is to confess his sins.

Unless the Village is a confession dial of course.

Silver in Sapphire and Steel is the Doctor.

James Bond is the Master, exiled to Earth and working for British Intelligence. This explains why the Master and Rassilon are so venomous to each other in End of Time – the Master is pissed off that he used to look that good and Rassilon is embarrassed to be caught wearing someone else’s hand me downs.

Capaldi Doctor is faking his outrage at there being a horror film called Alien. He’s embarrassed that two previous regenerations were – at least subconsciously – chosen so he could cosplay as Golic and Kane.

I’ve two ideas about the Doctor’s age and the Time War – I’m not sure which I prefer.

Firstly, when Tennant says he’s 906, he’s counting only from the birth of the Hurt Doctor. As far as he’s concerned, the original Doctor dies with McGann and he sees himself as tainted by the Time War and unworthy of being the same person, but tries to cover this with a lot of bluster and shouting. (note – Eccleston never mentions his age, but he does talk about 900 years travelling in time)

Alternatively, the Hurt Doctor is exposed to the Time Destructor, aging him massively, and only actually fights in the Time War for a fortnight before deciding to end the whole damn thing.

The sisterhood’s potion to create a warrior Doctor weaponises his regenerations – if anyone succeeds in killing him, they’ll likely die themselves when he’s reborn.

This is another reason the Tennant Doctor doesn’t think of anyone from Hurt onwards as a “true” Doctor and is the reason why he regenerates into himself – he doesn’t want to, as he sees it, inflict this on anyone else. Let’s face it, he has a history of making decisions for other people, because he thinks he knows best.

He’s still a cock though.

In City of Death, when the Doctor picks up a lump of primordial slime, microbes from his skin are transferred into it. As a result, following the explosion of Scaroth’’s ship, life evolves slightly quicker and human society is fractionally more advanced, such that the UNIT stories take place in the 1970’s, rather than, as previously, the 1980’s.

Personally, I LOVE that explanation of the UNIT dating controversy.
