The Stranger on a Train

Colin Baker, the Sixth Doctor and one time Stranger, is currently on tour, along with Anita Harris, in a production of Strangers on a Train, adapted from the Patricia Highsmith novel. The play concerns the chance meeting of a pro tennis player and a high society playboy on a train that leads to murder.

Just seems odd that The Stranger should get involved with other strangers in such perilous circumstances.

Telepathic… Moi?

I’ve noticed a range of comments across the electronic ether (called the Internet) about ‘disliking the sudden telepathy’ The Doctor exhibited in The Girl in the Fireplace. Maybe I’m wrong, but the Time Lords have been telepathic, in a limited fashion, for a long while. I’m sure of it. Heck, they can build telepathy into a machine (i.e. the TARDIS). So – no sudden telepathy here people… move along. Nothing to see here. I’m sure I’ll post again later when I find solid evidence of The Doctor’s telepathy in past incarnations.

I don’t recall reading anyone moaning about him having a wallet with a piece of psychic paper in it…
