Definitely odd this one, but fun: I think the reason why we tend to hang around the first 100 centuries or so is because the further out we go, the more likely it is we'll bump into incarnations we haven't seen yet. And not just of the Doctor.

In the Invasion, where Lethbridge-Stewart tells Isobel and Zoe to leave looking for the Cybermen in the sewers and photographing them to his men it’s presented as a bit of patricarical sexism.... but he’s right. It IS a job for trained soldiers. Yes, they happen to be men, but all Isobel and Zoe manage to do is get a police officer and a soldier killed and Jamie injured.

Just rewatched Invasion - it's true, they bristle at the way the Brig gives his order but the fellow has a point!

Looking back on it, Murray Gold should've left with RTD. With the exception of Heaven Sent, most of his compositions fit better in the RTD era.

Everything after near the end of The Tenth Planet part 4 is a fantasy, a hallucination the the Doctor's mind as he dies. Blue touch paper lit, I shall be standing over in the corner.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Definitely classic for me apart from Matt and Amy lol-I love Matt and Karen together I'm pretty much evenly split between them both: it's like comparing Hartnell's era to Pertwee's or Pertwee's to McCoy's. The show remains essentially the same but the format and style have changed over time, along with everything else. Television has changed, not the Doctor.

Television has changed, not the Doctor. i disagree about the Doctor having not changed. The kissing, the self-examination, the preachiness. I think that Jodie and Chris were closer to Classic Doctors than David, Matt and Peter were. My point was only i prefer the Classic stories and I enjoyed The Matt stories more. I am going to watch i definitely watch a Classic Who than a Nu Who (not that it can be called NU now) Has the Doctor changed i have to say ,yes,yes he/she has with every incarnation he/she is in no way a consistent character but who is?

I like the Doctor being able to experience romantic feelings in New who I think it adds extra depth and emotion to the character. Despite the the fact that that they are not human it shows another side to them.

Even so, those are more quirks of the production team to build an audience: I look on it as akin to JNT’s stunt casting as away of building the show’s presence as more than a feature of the show. I mean, Four and Romana had basically the same chemistry for a lot of their run: kissing was about all we didn’t get!

Totally get your preference for Classic stories: I was just playing Devil’s advocate. Also agree on the changing character of the Doctor.

Despite the the fact that that they are not human it shows another side to them. In hindsight, it could actually fit pretty well with what we know of prior Doctors. One Doctor, in particular. They've definitely been asexual and there are signs that a few may have been aromantic as well, but his Eighth self opened up quite a lot of doors regarding this side of his character. Due to a combination of his personality (a classic, Renaissance-era lover of life), his experiences on Earth (particularly his 100-year exile) and the past wisdom of his many lives, I think he possessed a unique understanding of human romance. All forms of romance. As a result, he seems much more willing to express that side of him for the benefit of partners (actual or potential) than his predecessors. Come later incarnations like Nine, Ten, Eleven, even in shades of Twelve, and that understanding is likely still there. An inherited wisdom, so to speak.

If we're going down that track then after hearing 'The Diary of River Song 6' I see both of your ideas and raise you River Song and some wildly over-strength lipstick. Explains everything afterwards

Explains everything afterwards And I'll see your Tenth Planet, doozy Shoreditch policeman and River Song and raise you that everything that has happened in the past fifty six years is the product of the very first telepathic connection between the Doctor and the Tardis as he flies her out of her cradle on Gallifrey, with the ship's matrix exploring all the temporal possibilities of her new pilot...😊🏆

How much of falling in love with a human (yes, you too, River!) has to do with "settling"? In that when it happens, as far as the Doctor knows, there are NO TIMELORDS LEFT. (No,the novels/comics DON't count, and 8's declaration of love to Charley Pollard is not romantic, even though her side of it probably is.)
