At some point I’ll post pictures from the Stokers that show me in the $10 Blue Shirt of Awesomeness, and then we’ll be even.

Just so long as they’re not the first words out of your mouth when you see me at NECON.

I know. I can only guess that BBC script editors were in short supply at the time.

I’ve been exclaiming “Chancellor Flavia!” in my head for days now.

They kept talking about going “back to Gallifrey” at the end, as if the Dark Tower were on some other planet, when it clearly wasn’t.

Apparently Pi is different on Gallifrey.

Isn’t it odd that the Second Doctor can’t think of what rhymes with “go” when the other words “above”, “between” and [blank]?

It’s also odd that the doctor is still alive after the chess board incident, given that he divined that the solution was based on π…and then used the wrong value: 3.14287 instead of 3.14159!

The way the actor tends to leer at people, maybe he does. Strip off that high councellor rigamarole and she might be Miss Time Lord 3624. (36).

Oh, and The Five Doctors has my second favorite line: When the Master walks into the council room and sees the female one. “Cancellor Flavia!” as if his TARDIS is wallpapered with pinups of her!
