  • The Gallifrey Gals continue to Martha's present day where The Master is back and now been voted in as the new Prime Minister. While Harold Saxon "The Master" tries to get that tapping out of his head, will Paula be able to get this episode out of hers? The beat goes on...
    IT'S ALMOST HERE! The EPIC conclusion to Doctor Who Series 3, but what will we do in the meantime? No worries, we still have a few surprises left over for the remainder of this season. Don't miss all of Paula's surprises and Katrina's excitement when we jump into "The Sound of Drums".

    References to Harold Saxon were sprinkled through many preceding episodes, the first being Love & Monsters in the previous season (he was mentioned in a headline of the newspaper the Absorbaloff was reading). And did you note the make of the TV the bomb was attached to? It was Magpie Electricals, the name of the TV shop in The Idiot's Lantern. This firm, or at least its name, seems to last for a long time indeed and is mentioned a number of times in different episodes.

    _"I like it when you use my name."_
    _"You chose it. Psychiatrist's field day."_
    When I first saw this episode in 2007 (seven years old) I didn't know the word _psychiatrist._ I thought the Doctor was saying that the Master had decided on his name during some special Gallifreyan festival called "Saint Kyatrist's Field Day". I pictured children queueing in a tent to step forth and declare their name.

  • @justarandomveryintelligent8934

    I finally get to talk about a really interesting bit of information that recently got released! So when they were in pre production for series one and had started writing Russell t Davies and co were very concerned that they weren't going to be able to get the rights to use daleks. (Those were wrapped up in a separate estate.) So they had come up with a plan in case they were unable to use daleks. The toclafane were going to be the race of beings the time lords fought against in the time war and it would be a lone toclafane that rose met in series 1. Theres another extra detail that would have been in the finale of series 1 but I cant talk about it without spoiling next episode so I'll finish it when that one comes out! Love you ladies!

This is largely down to Russell T Davies and not John Simm, who is a fine actor who gave 100% in each performance. It's too bad that RTD decided to write him as a nutcase with superpowers.
