James stays in Milliways for a couple of days. At first, it's partly for Lynda, but she adjusts with impressive speed to the fact that she can't ever go home or she'll die horribly. She'd been planning to leave with the Doctor anyway, she explains - there's nothing special tying her to her home. Apparently it's difficult to develop lasting ( Read more... )
