Alex Kingston - so, did someone say she’s not a companion

Yessssss just realised this, @deltaandthebannermen you are officially saying River is a companion!

Pretty sure it’s the Tenth doctor? Does he pop up in the Peladon audio boxset? It wouldn’t surprise me, he pops up everywhere! I dunno now I’m doubting myself.

[MrColdStream]

This is correct! He has a surprise cameo in Ordeal of Peladon.

I give you 75 points for creativity!

[TARDIS32]

Oh I definitely prefer to play. I would be looking for the deepest cuts to use as questions and I don’t think people would enjoy it.

[TARDIS32]

Actually tougher than I thought. I just made a series of 20 questions about An Unearthly Child, going for 5 questions per part, and maybe it’s because the story is so simple (especially parts 2-4), but I was running out of truly tough questions and just started putting on “what character does [actor] play when they return to the show?”

[deltaandthebannermen]

Ooh I know all the answers to that question!
