I believe that Ford was the grandchild of Dr. Who named Susan.  I know she came back to work in the five doctors.

Yes, she was introduced as his granddaughter, an in the episode "An Unearthly Child" she stated that she was born in the 51st century if memory serves.

Plus in the "Dalek Invasion of the Earth" where he locks her out of the TARDIS to stay on Earth with David, in his good bye message to her he refers to her as his granddaughter multiple times.

Did have a thing for teachers. C.A.Ford was a cutie that grew into a beauty. I was fond of Deborah Watling (Victoria), great to look at, hard on the ears when the alien monsters appeared.

Yeah, but you're no Barbara....  8 )
In the Movie with Peter Cushing, they felt the need to add another grandaughter.
So... one for the kids, one for the teens and Peter for the ladies.
Bernie for the younger ladies. Kinda nice they brought him back during Tennant's tenure.

A little time to vent.  I think the writers have destroyed the history of Dr Who and have destroyed the television show too.  When it came back from the 1980's into the 21st century is carried on in the same tradition from the first doctor and one could identify with the original series since it had a history that dated back to the first doctor.  Now that the history has changed I believe the Show is dead.

I presume you're talking about the last Whittaker episode?
Two edged, on one hand.. totally frelled, on the other what a reveal.
Though does makes things interesting with the end of Smith's tenure.

The story is so far out of the bounds it seems not finished and not thought through. The in a way the Master personality was lacking compared to all the others whom played the roll made the acting was flat for the master. Basically the master seem rather plastic.  I think if they could have had a brief flash back to William Hartnell on Gallifrey maybe for a second or two may have  made a full circle to the complete series.  Someone like Neil Gaiman could have made it better show.  I really don't like Paul Cornell work on the series he seem to be lacking in completing a story by using the past to create the present and leaving an open ended pause for the next episode.  I don't like the fact the Doctor is locked up for the a life sentence and for what is the Doc being jailed for?  They should have stopped at the Rino coming through the door and saying she is under arrest.  This would have built up more curiosity tension to wanting to see what is next.  Instead of seeing the Doctor in jail at the end.   


To sum it up basically it is writing and acting.

Reminds me of the War Lord, "I've been hearing disquieting rumors, are they true?"

Well, I was not impressed with season eleven, Jodie's debut and from all the spoilers and blurbs that I have been hearing methinks season twelve is not going to make me any happier.



Last season was bad enough with all of the "e**ing" political correctness, plus the man giving birth episode, all time low in my eyes.

Tis so sad that such an entertaining classic that has been aired for over 50 years, has met its Waterloo at the hands of ... well I don't know what to call the writers and directors that have ruined it, but rest assured it isn't pretty.

I don't really understand the last 2 episodes of Dr Who. Even when I watched it on Demand, it didn't make sense. Jodie is a good actor but the nuances of the character is lost on her. Is it me or did the show lose something in the script? It didn't make sense and still doesn't make sense. (Well the part leading up to the reveal of the "new Black" Dr).

They got Sylvester McCoy to hand over to Paul McGann, I thought that a nice touch. And the Doctor returning to tea and boocke a lovely touch. *Insert looong pause*
John Hurt, Added later,
Chris Eccleston, portrayed a Doctor near consumed with rage and sadness, but hid that behind "feeble" humour. 

David Tennant, The rage lessened to anger, the sadness deepened, but bettre at hiding behind humour.   

Matt Smith, Reprised Pat Troughton's Doctor as a child with nukes. deep depression and anger well hidden with humour.
Peter Capaldi continued Smith's Doctor with touches of all the previous. Accentuated Memory crisis, From McGann on each regeneration had a more difficult time incorporating prior memories. Which made sense as each regen should be a bit harder than previous ones.
Jodie Whittaker, Personally I think if Moffet was still show runner it would have worked bettre, but over all, not too bad. The latest (last?) season kinda twisted things up a bit, and made The Doctor considerablly more important to Time Lord existance.   *shrug*
