Wow. The strongest season opener so far for me (stronger even than Rose). I particularly like the way the story centred around Martha's life so we knew who she...
It was not as bad as RUNAWAY BRIDE, not as good as CHRISTMAS INVASION and perhaps on a par with ROSE. Still, they stole the idea from THE OUTER LIMITS. And...
Ok, there are no spoilers, but the question is raised by a brief scene in Smith and Jones. Could Brax and the Master be one and the same character? Here's the...

Okay then chaps and chappettes, just wondering precisely when the series 3 contemporary episodes are set. I realise there will be more information to come, but...
... I don't think it's possible to change the date for a MySpace page. Therefore, IMO, it's not an official BBC date for the story. Personally, I've gone for...
I'd be kind of surprised if RTD's authorial intent was that "Smith & Jones" takes place earlier in Earth history than "The Runaway Bride". Has anybody...
That's what I was leaning towards. Both the HP ref and the MySpace page are circumstantial evidence IMO, which \an be ignored if something else comes up. Dan ...
Not that I'm aware, but 'The Christmas Invasion' is set on Christmas 2006, a year ahead of broadcast (after Rose, all the series one and two contemporaries...
Yeah, I know that, Dan, and you know that, and there was a recent Matrix Data Bank in DWM that touched on these issues. But it's far from clear to me whether...

LOL, well, I wouldn't want to put you off (& it's always interesting to read the messages here) but I just worry that you might spend days & days constructing...
All of which said I wouldn't be surprised if it is a conscious decision to undo the whole year ahead issue, particularly if a future storyline requires the...

Just a footnote to the effect that I've changed my mind completely about that, after having watched "Smith & Jones" again. Martha does seem to be referring to...

Ah, but is the history the same? Perhaps Elizabeth I sets up Torchwood 400 years earlier as a result of the future Doctor's intervention. I quite like the idea...
