still on about Doctor Who
Have been browsing the net (TWoP, Crack Van, Outpost Gallifrey - you name it) and have one lovely quote and one question.
The quote is actually only borderline DW-ish, but it does come from the Rose thread on TWoP:
Steven Moffat (writer of 1-9, 1-10 and 2-4) cheerfully admits the central character in Coupling is "Me. Only better looking, more charming and wittier. I mean, nobody else is going to write a handsome, charming, witty Steven Moffat into their script are they? Unless, of course, they've met me."
*Loves Steven Moffat muchly for saying such Moffaty things.*
The question has to do with the First Doctor. I've seen mentioned that his first companion was his granddaughter Susan, so I'm wondering: was that an actual granddaughter, or was that just their cover story? Because if she was his actual granddaughter, I don't quite see how anyone can claim that the Doctor (pre-Eight, that is) was asexual by definition. Well, unless Time Lords breed through some strange non-sexual alien means. (Which is entirely possible. And of course some regenerations could be asexual and some not... they're certainly different enough in other ways.)
