 Back to the TARDIS.  Several references have been made to an
intelligence within it, and the Doctor has referred to it as "she".
"What a sentimental old thing this TARDIS is!"
"The TARDIS isn't exactly a machine, Tegan, it's like a person: it needs
coaxing, persuading, encouraging."
"It didn't change.  You said it was going to blend into its

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Audrey,
The disturbance the TARDIS was caught in was caused by the Rani.  The Doctor
was perfectly stable before that - he was cut off in his prime.  The Doctor
banged his head against the console, and was knocked out.  That normally
wouldn't have caused a regeneration crisis, but while the Doctor was on Earth
for the Millenium in 1999 (in England, not in San Fransisco) he encountered a
Great Old One and various events triggered the Valeyard within him.  The
Valeyard is a possible personae of the Doctor's, an amalgamation of all
that's evil within him.  All of the Doctor's future personae's exist within
him inalmost "embryo" states.  The Valeyard manipulated the Doctor, gave him
ideas about being Time's Champion and playing games with people's lives and
the like.  The Doctor thought it was rediculous, but his seventh personae
thought otherwise, and essentially took over at the first opportunity.  The
Doctor's seventh incarnation, brought about because of the Valeyard's
manipulations, takes the Doctor one step closer to becoming the Valeyard.
Scary thought, yes?
Yes, but I believe he stopped that after said encountered.  Near the end of
his seventh incarnation, the Doctor got better.
I agree.  It's good that everything regarding her was cleared up.

"The Eye of Harmony", Gail Pamphilon bellowed to Steve Williams...
Only three separate and indentifiable incarnations, although five actors have
had the role. Unless there was something mentioned during Pertwee's reign as
the Doctor, I can't recall anything that states the Master as seen in The
Deadly Assassin and The Keeper Of Traken couldn't be Delgado's incarnation,
although I'd think it unlikely...
Basically, ye might say that the Master was cheated out of his lives by the
scriptwriters, in exchange for a plot device... :)
