Depends. Are you counting Paul McGann in your contemplation? :pierre:

Actually your initial thought was right - it's an upside down painting of a Silent. :teehee:

I think the last old Who I watched had the Sontarons teaming up with a Spanish crime cartel. And the Doctor got a disease.

Something like that.

in the library episode when the doctor says something about how theres only one reason he could tell someone his proper name. does anyone know what that reason is is it something from the old series or just something we don't know

I don't think we do know why River knows his proper name. Before the doctor is killed he says something to the astronaut, perhaps it's River inside the space suit and the Doctor told her his name. This would also explain why River said "of course not" when she couldn't shoot the astronaut because it would have been her past.

but what would she try to shoot her past self. that would be pretty stupid

Also hence why this week they are now making it obvious that Rory and Amy go to bed together- that has never been used before has it. I am sure it has never been implied that companions actually have a bedroom- or did I miss that before too? Hence the pregnant/not pregnant thing... as in little baby 'Pond' could have been conceived in the TARDIS? Also setting us up for the scary running through the evil TARDIS next week?

(Edit- yes I know some of this has been mentioned, but there are subtle references backing up your theories)

In old Dr Who both Romana's and Adrics bedrooms were shown, I cant remember if anyone elses was though.

I think series 5 was my favourite but I would have liked to have seen Tennant with a better lead writer. Although I don't think he would have suited Moffat and the direction he appears to want DW to go.

Stop with the ****ing RTD hate, it's unwarranted.

I understand RTD was needed and his style of storytelling was needed. But really it could have been so much better.

Hmm. We'll continue this debate in three months, when I can be bothered :h:
