DISCUSSION - 30.06: The Doctor's Daughter (Trailer)

[PTeppic]

He has always seemed to be slightly different from the other Time Lords, breaking the rules when it suited him etc. Though in this case it's an almost Time-Lordian ability to recall the TARDIS, a la "Five Doctors"???

 

[Pyan]

And - does that make her a Time Lord? Or should I say Time Lady?

I don't think there's such a thing as a Time Lady, SS... Romanadvoratrelundar, as played by Mary Tamm/Lalla Ward, was always referred to as a female Time Lord, as was the Rani (Kate O'Mara).

Kate O'Mara - now she was good! (Wonder how many remember her py!)

Remember Triangle though, SS...

Of course all this talk about the Doctors history is pointless as the writers will probably just change it and come up with a new history as they did with the Cybermen.

 

[thaddeus6th]

I'm under the impression that NewWho cybermen are actually from a parallel universe, as OldWho cybermen were (I think) destroyed by the Silver Nemesis. So they added to the backstory but didn't change what was there previously.

 

[Vladd67]

Well despite the fact UNIT defeated them in London originally no one seemed to know who they were.

 

[thaddeus6th]

Oh yeah. Too young to have seen it, but I had the book of that one.

Be interesting to see if Lethbridge-Stewart does make a return. Not even sure if he's still alive.

 

[Vladd67]

Looks like the Brigadier is alive and well

 

[Kostmayer]

Couldn't his daughter be Susan's mother, but before she gave birth to her?

I wonder if Rose is the mother..

 

[PTeppic]

With time travel the possibilities of who is whose parents could be really complicated, assuming she's fertile.

Is it possible we haven't even met her (the mother) yet?

 

[Tillane]

Given that we know little of what happened between the end of the movie and the start of the new series (bar the Time War, of course), I'd say that was a fair bet, Py. The Doctor could have had any number of kids in that time...

 

[Dave]

At this point in 'Time', I've no idea what is Canon and what is not - I think the 'Time' for that is long past. I have watched Doctor Who a long while though, and while I did believe that Susan was his grand-daughter, I did often wonder about her mother. And also, Susan never quite seemed to be a Time Lord, so the possibility that she was part-human was quite high.

Now, nowhere does it say this is Susan's mother, but it is unlikely he has too many daughters around. So who knows?

As for the Mother, didn't that woman in the Doctor Who Movie (with Paul McGann) get closer than most. And the Master was there at that time.

As for the ideas expressed about the Master and the woman with red finger-nails - there is still the strong possibility that the Doctor and the Master are brothers - making this new daughter the Master's niece, and Susan his grand-niece.

 

[Marauder77]

If the writers are evil... the daughter have never met her mother, but just have a letter left with her at her adoptive parents signed "R".. so people can speculate a lot whether it is Rani, Romana..or Rose

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

What about PC Bernard Cribbins. Does it jar with anyone that he's reared his face again in another role. I can't watch him in the series without the whole illusion being shattered by the memory of that awful film.

I quite like that film... at least I did when I was a kid. It does jar a little, but no more than "Martha's cousin". They could give a similar reason, but technically he isn't Canon either (the same role in the TV series being played by the Teacher not a PC.)
