Perhaps I was a bit rude earlier...
You know, back on Gallifrey I had this family. I was sort-of married (not quite the same thing, but close enough) and we had a daughter. And she had a daughter, Susan, who I travelled with. After we left to travel, I didn't see my not-quite wife or daughter again for hundreds of years. Not until I was back and fighting the war.
After Susan, but before that, I travelled with so many people. I could tell you their names, and how they like their tea, the average volume of their screams in decibels, who met the Daleks, who met the Master, and who could help me pilot the TARDIS (and who I wouldn't let near the console with a ten foot pole).
I couldn't tell you what most of their parents' names were. Sarah Jane... lived with her aunt, that I know. Ace lived in a place called Perivale. I once took Tegan to see her... grandfather? Or was it an uncle? I don't remember. I know Jo left me to get married but I never met her parents. The Brigadier's seen most of my faces but I've only met his wife once or twice.
One person, no, one family changed that.
Don't get me wrong, Jackie, this tag is here to stay, but... well... you are family. You've helped saved my skin a few times, and you brought up Rose, so... yeah. Sorry.
