How the hell did Torchwood miss a Silurian and a Sontaran in London? I would imagine Strax and Madam Vastra use perception filters most of the time when out in public. I thought she passed herself as a sideshow freak wearing a veil, when in public.

Oh, I've got one! Before the kill her mercilessly in The Time War I want to see a Leela and Strax story. I pity whomever they end up at odds with. Strax: "I suggest we use the big grenades." Leela: "How many do you have?" Strax: "Ten." Leela: "Use them all." Meanwhile, with the new Victorian Torchwood episode, exactly how many characters do we have in Victorian England now? Could we have a "Jago & Litefoot & Strax & Vastra & Jenny & Jack Harkness & Who the heck else am I forgetting?" Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson, Dorian Gray, and uncle Tom Cobley and all, and uncle Tom Cobley and all.

(And now I can confuse Uncle Toms now, YAY!)

I said 'most of the time'. There must be a few times where she can't be arsed with the veil and just wants to walk about without anybody staring at her.

That scenario sounds like the opposite of Most of the Time. sounds more like, "Sometimes, but not often".

How the hell did Torchwood miss a Silurian and a Sontaran in London? They probably didn't miss them at all. I would love a Victorian crossover box set at some point. Torchwood / J+L / Paternoster / Sherlock Holmes. All with Matt Smith.

I just knocked myself on the head with the fictional internet continuity hammer I keep around to hurt people with for making the same kind of dull remarks about continuity that I just made.

I wonder if we might get an - either on a Doom Coliation box set or single release - 'period' story with The Doctor and Charley which ties into the events of Doom Coliation (and ulitmatetly The Doctor's decision to become a warrior in The Night of The Doctor). It might be a nice way to introduce Charley to a wider audience as well.

Can't we be done with Charlie? Don't get me wrong, I like her well enough, but these days it makes me groan the same way the people asking for Rose to come back does.

I just knocked myself on the head with the fictional internet continuity hammer I keep around to hurt people with for making the same kind of dull remarks about continuity that I just made. I know what you mean but I meant four stories - Smith w/ Victorian Torchwood, Smith w/ Jago and Litefoot, Smith w/ Paternoster, Smith w/ Sherlock Holmes. After all, Jago and Sherlock are part of the same universe already - ACF proves that. But yeah probably best not to muddle the J+L continuity by directly referencing Arthur Conan Doyle again etc.

Well, her story with The Doctor isn't quite done - a reuioun is inevitable one day and it's been quite a long time happening, while Rose's story had a (two!) definite ending, so there's an understandable pull for many a fan to see them back together. I think enough time has passed for a reflective period adventure, particularly with the direction of Eight's story nowadays.

Unless they get a dose of Retcon, there is little to no chance of Victorian Torchwood leaving Vastra and Strax unvivisected (short of Victoria herself saying "leave them alone" in fact, and even then there's a good chance Torchwood would just ignore the edict for the Greater Good). They even tried to vivisect Jack if memory serves.

Well, Vastra wears a veil, and as for Strax, look, he can't tell human girls from boys, so if he has a perception filter of some sort, I'm sure it makes him look like some terrifying monster to inspire fear in hearts of his enemies, or, you know, everyone.

I could see Victorian Torchwood and Vastra having a non-aggression pact of sorts. The agents that recruited Jack look like the type that could get along with Vastra.

Even if Victorian Torchwood played nicely with Vastra, their successor the Forge certainly wouldn't have.

Does anyone else think they could resurrect the 'Lost Stories' range for New Who or Torchwood?

Fry's one was never used at all but the other ones we know of have been adapted by other writers - Paul Abott wrote a Pompeii script for Series 1 but it ended up being a Series 4 James Moran story. Mark Gattis' War Museum story ended up being partially used for The Pandorica Opens (the under-henge) and Victory Of The Daleks. One that did get totally dropped was the Most Haunted one where Tennant's Doc would have been on a reality haunting show only the ghosts were, of course, alien.

I vaguely remember reading a rumour that suggested there were around a dozen partially completed Smith scripts that had to be axed late in the day due to budgetary/scheduling problems, not sure how much truth there is in that though. It seems most of the Lost Stories for New Who are more 'lost ideas' or treatments that were partially recycled into other scripts, so yeah there might not be enough to resurrect the range (I haven't listened to any of the existing ones so I don't know how far they went in rewriting the scripts for audio)
