It doesn't look like Victorian\19th century dresses, but instead looks somewhat modern-ish and streamlined, and about as 20th century as Sarah's usual outfits. By the time of the First Great Human Empire (which started the year after Vicki's birth) Earth's contact with other HumanAlien species would've made it so that fashion comprised (and mix-and-matched) [[AnachronisticFashion fashion from various planets... as well as various centuries of the same planet.]] And the 20th century was one of Vicki's favorite centuries so she likely had a lot of clothing based on that time period.

There's the off-screen relationship between Creator/TomBaker and Lalla Ward, but let's look at the canon evidence. She's a hot scientist, she's a DefrostingIceQueen, she's a Time Lord, and she (in her second incarnation) [[Main/HeroesWantRedHeads was a redhead]]. Since the Doctor has expressed a desire to have red hair himself, it's obvious he fancies redheads.

# The Doctor Who episode "Rememberance Of The Daleks" has an announcer on TV introduce an episode of "Doctor Who". But again, it can't be ''the'' Doctor Who for obvious reasons.

During The Evil of the Daleks there’s a moment where the small size of the cast is handwaved away with a statement from Mollie, the maid, that everyone not in the episode cast has quit because of signs the house is haunted, when the reality of the situation is that Maxtible has actually been sheltering the Daleks and helping them with their experiments. Given the callousness that Maxtible shows towards everyone besides himself during the serial and how the Daleks only become active in the house when the Doctor and Jamie arrived, I think it’s plausible that the staff members were murdered instead: Either killed by Daleks they had stumbled across or handed over by Maxtible to the Daleks for a more surgical attempt at turning humans into Daleks.

[[WMG:The Delgado Master uses Nestene technology for his LatexPerfection masks]]
The Master’s disguises during the UNIT years seem remarkably effective for what seem like latex masks. Perhaps after his dealings with the Nestene he save a little of their technology that he could use to create near-foolproof masks for his many disguises. This could also explain how he is at times able to obtain or create such masks at what seems like incredibly short notice.

A later incarnation also fell through the void into E-Space and ended up on Alzarius a few years before the Fourth Doctor's visit. While there, this later incarnation met a young boy and promised to take him on some adventures when he was older. But the Doctor then learned that the boy was Adric and tried to wipe his memory in an attempt to change his fate, only the memory wipe wasn't as thorough as it could have been and left Adric with a few vague recollections. This explains why Adric somehow knows that he will be leaving Alzarius, but not on the Starliner, and also explains why, when he sees the TARDIS for what is supposedly the first time, he looks at it as though he recognises it. Anyone who's familiar with this period in the show's history will know what subsequently happens to him.

[[WMG:The Rani is [[Series/LandOfTheLost Holly Marshall]].]]

In the 1974 ''Series/LandOfTheLost'' episode "Elsewhen", Holly encounters a blonde woman, apparently in her twenties, who calls herself "Rani", who turns out to be Holly's older self come back in time to help her. Rani admits that she can time travel at will and understands the technology of the Land. Given that the pylons of the Land display TARDIS-like properties, it seems plausible that at least one ''is'' a TARDIS; the future Holly used it to escape the Land to Gallifrey where she became a Time Lady (just as Ace would have if the classic series had never been cancelled).

Part 4 of "Earthshock" has the Cyber Leader tell the Doctor that, while Tegan will be allowed to go back to the TARDIS, Adric must stay on the freighter. The Doctor says he wants both Tegan and Adric to accompany him, but the Cyber Leader refuses to budge and says Tegan will be killed if the Doctor doesn't co-operate. Adric then tells the Doctor to leave with Tegan, and promises that he will catch up with them later, only to be killed when the freighter crashes into the prehistoric Earth and explodes. It's likely that this makes Tegan feel like she is alive at Adric's expense, which explains why she is so visibly grief-stricken and may also explain why she is so desperate to rescue him in the following story, at least until the Doctor makes it clear to her and Nyssa that doing so would violate the Laws of Time. As for her later request that Turlough move into Adric's old quarters, it's because she wants to get rid of painful reminders of Adric, and having a new male companion on the TARDIS provides her with an excuse to dispose of Adric's belongings, or at least have them put away. And there are a couple of lines in "The Power of the Doctor" that make it clear that she is still haunted by what happened to Adric, even though (from her perspective) around four decades have passed.

Adric then tells the Doctor to leave with Tegan, and promises that he will catch up with them later, only to be killed when he freighter crashes into the prehistoric Earth and explodes. It's likely that this made Tegan feel like she was alive at Adric's expense, which explains why she is so visibly grief-stricken and may also explain why she is so desperate to rescue him in the following story, at least until the Doctor makes it clear to her and Nyssa that doing so would violate the Laws of Time. As for her later request that Turlough move into Adric's old quarters, it's because she wants to get rid of painful reminders of Adric, and having a new male companion on the TARDIS provides her with an excuse to get rid of Adric's belongings, or at least have them put away. And there are a couple of lines in "The Power of the Doctor" that make it clear that she is still haunted by what happened to Adric.

Hot Scientist is no longer a trope


There's the off-screen relationship between Creator/TomBaker and Lalla Ward, but let's look at the canon evidence. She's a Main/HotScientist, she's a Main/DefrostingIceQueen, she's a Time Lord, and she (in her second incarnation) [[Main/HeroesWantRedHeads was a redhead]]. Since the Doctor has expressed a desire to have red hair himself, it's obvious he fancies redheads.

* Point 2. Jo and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E2TheCurseOfPeladon King Peladon]] seemed a bit flirty with each other, and, considering the New Series theme of "[[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow dancing]]", it's not that far-fetched to imagine something happened between them at some point when they weren't on-screen.

Genesis and Remembrance are the old serials that usually get described as the beginning of the conflict between the Daleks and the Time Lords, but after watching the animated reconstruction of Evil I’m surprised it isn’t mentioned along side those two. The whole conflict of that story revolves around the Daleks plotting to rewrite time to change humans from having defeated them in various space wars to being Dalek Factor infused slaves. This could very well be the incident that motivated the Time Lords to send Four on his mission in Genesis.

They're somewhere between crystal and organic, close to a sponge. Or to Lytton with a Kroton's head.

Wiki/ namespace clean up.


This theory, being a widespread fan theory, itself belongs in WMG even though it was around long before Wiki/TvTropes.org. At the end of the Second Doctor's last story, "The War Games", companions Jamie and Zoë are sent back to their own times with memory wipes, and the Time Lords force him to regenerate into the Third Doctor and send him to Earth.

It does'nt look like Victorian\19th century dresses, but instead looks somewhat modern-ish and streamlined, and about as 20th century as Sarah's usual outfits. By the time of the First Great Human Empire (which started the year after Vicki's birth) Earth's contact with other HumanAlien species would've made it so that fashion comprised (and mix-and-matched) [[AnachronisticFashion fashion from various planets... as well as various centuries of the same planet.]] And the 20th century was one of Vicki's favorite centuries so she likely had a lot of clothing based on that time period.
