Lady Romanadvoratrelunder (this seems to be the correct spelling, but anybody is easily forgiven the odd letter or three) was Romana's full name and title.

Communication aside, the fact that Romana could put the Doctor in his place was A Good Thing, especially considering TomDoc's attitude became a little less, ummm, sensitive the longer he played the role.

AP> I would hazard a guess also that there was some part of me that AP> enjoyed not being spoken down to via the proxies of his companions, AP> in a way, *we* the audience were finally being treated like his AP> equals. I don't really notice this sort o' thing that much. Obviously, if the Doctor were to just go about his business and never explain, `twould not make for much of a show, but I've never felt "the producers've made this character thick, cos' they feel this is the level they need to pitch it at". I'm just along for the ride; understanding emotions, motivations, philosophy or sciences of it all is very much optional. Besides which (and it's quite a large besides), they're just making it up! :) AP> A feeling we'd only come close to I think once before, with Zoe and AP> Pat. I've a rather large hole in my Who experience around about that time, so `tis hard to comment... :| TW>> Indeed it was. Not so bad an effort on the part of the BBC, eh? AP> Absolutely, they can pull off bloody miracles on pitiful budgets AP> those guys The important thing is that no amount of money can purchase a decent imagination. Something sorely lacking from latter day Who's at times... :| TW>> at times, Romana2 suffered at the hands of the writers, not coming TW>> off so well as her Time Lady background could've provided. AP> Yeah in the end they found, IMHO that an equal for the Doc wasn't what AP> the audience wanted, so she became more playful. Regeneration must be a handy thing for writers. No need to explain a drastic rewrite of a character when they're not working out - just bung in a regeneration, or for minor changes, post-regeneration trauma. :) AP> I wish the script writers had pulled their fingers out and had AP> doctors revisit more old companions. Even pull at the old heart AP> strings, and have one visit like Adrics grave, if he got one, Oh he got one, all right! And not ye bog standard 8*4*6 feet deep either, but hemispherical and several kilometers wide. :) Probably the best thing for a lad like that... AP> you know something like that 2TBOMK no such episodes exist, y'all AP> know of any? hmmm. Jo Grant was mentioned in Planet of the Spiders, almost one year after she departed the show and I think Sarah Jane wore one of Victoria's dresses in Pyramids of Mars. In Arc Of Infinity, both Leela and Romana got a mention, so I can only assume they were feeling nostalgic at the time of writing, but I canna recall any incidents of revisiting old companions any length of time after they'd left the TARDIS. have fun "Well, why don't you just pander to my medieval, old- fashioned supersititions..." - swaz --- FMail/2 1.22 * Origin: Chap with the wings there - Five rounds rapid!
