> Well, since an image of that incarnation appeared prominently with the others it confirms what the BBC have always said, that the movie was in continuity; although referring to David Tennant as "the tenth Doctor" was the other clue.
|
That would do it.
> The only element of the movie which has been quietly dropped was the one-off assertion by the eighth Doctor of having a human mother, something that strangely never came up in the 38 years of broadcasting before and was a retcon of Byrneian proportions.

Maybe that regeneration messed his mind up?
> By the way, track down the cartoon episode of the 10th Doctor and Martha called "The Infinity Quest".
|
Will do.
> My school was founded in 1552, and this year it's going co-educational. It's a fee-paying school, costing around £8000 ($16000) for each of three terms a year, except for a few pupils who win paid scholarships (as I did). I don't know if they still use the cane and expect senior students to wear gowns now, but they did up to the point I left in 1981.

So different from here. Wow.
> A few public (which means private) schools still have a "fagging" system, where junior boys are assigned as batmen to seniors, but I think things are much more regulated now that they were even thirty years ago. Any beatings now are purely off the record.
>
> Many of the ancient public schools had great records of brutality in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but they turned out ruthless and tough young men who forged an empire and allowed a nation smaller than New York state to rule over a third of the world.
|
That's true. Wow. I thought those were long gone but I guess you can't mess with tradition.
I thought you met Shep in school and directed one of her plays. That was after, right?
> I'll comment on that one when you've seen it.

Hopefully we'll watch it today.
