Write your reply.

assistant: It depends on how you look at it. Linearly, I would say there is only
one TARDIS AFAIK. However, since time travel is involved. There could
technically be as many as 13 TARDISes in the same time, though not in
the same place. What I think happened in the Five Doctors is Rassilon
summoned the TARDISes of the involved Doctors to return them to their
respective time zones.

The Doctor and the Master were at the Acadamy together, so the Doctor did
know him.  However, since the Master was probably in his twelfth incarnation
at the time, and the Doctor in his first, it would probably have been
difficult for him to recognise his old friend.

Write your reply.

assistant: "Pickyness", declared Christopher J_wood from the Vogon ship:
I don't think the Valyard should be the *opposite* of the Doctor, I
think he should be the Doctor taken to extremes.  I think he should
meddle in time not only for good, but for his own personal gain, for
instance.  But if he's exactly the opposite he wouldn't be believable.
In Trial, I just couldn't believe that the Valeyard was the Doctor, he
seemed to different - until the moment when ColDoc unmasked him and they
were staring right at each other.  That had the same feeling as ColDoc
and PatDoc in The Two Doctors, but with more of an edge to it - that was
the first time I could really think, "This is ColDoc and JayDoc" instead
of it being two different characters.
I think its been pointed out that the Doctor is getting more and more
violent as he goes along - the first Doctor refused to use guns, while
the fifth threatened Davros with a gun at one point and the eighth used
a gun to threaten an innocent cop.  Granted, he was threatening to shoot
*himself*, but the onus was on the cop to stop the violence.  I think
the Valyard should be seen as the logical extension of these trends -
that would give the Doctor a good opportunity for some soul-searching
when he meets him.
BTW, is "Valeyard" an actual title for a prosecutor?  I'm wondering if
he was just calling himself that as an alias in Trial, or if that was
his position within the court.  Either way, when we meet him again would
he still be calling himself "the Valeyard" or would he be "the Doctor"?

KK puts his arm in the building and grabs the massive bottle of coke

embarassed.
There wasn't any mention of Doctor Who in the whole advert though.
So I'd better not talk about it too much...
How perfectly naff.  ;)
Maybe.  It would earn them millions if they did comission a new series.
The merchandising alone is something worth having a finger in.
And perhaps a villan called the Coke-can-dy man who is made enirely from
cans of soft drinks?   ;)
Actually it was a sketch on a radio show called week ending.

It sounded funnier on the actual show.
