This is off topic but please Russell next time you introduce Kate to someone don’t mention the Brigadier!!

I think it’s so patronising and demeaning to always say “this is Kate, her dad’s the best!”, RTD always makes him say that.

I noticed it a lot cos I rewatched the 60th and Season One all in quick succession.

Watch now when he introduces Kate to Belinda as “The best man I’ve ever met’s daughter” :sob:

Doctor: “And this is BD!”
Kate & Belinda: “BD?”
Doctor: “Brigadier’s Daughter. Sorry, I’m terrible with names! Anyway. What the heck is going on this week babes?”

Also I dislike RTD renaming Kate. She made it clear in Power of Three she dropped Lethbridge as she didn’t want any favours, then in RTD2 suddenly it’s back!

I never noticed that but yeah I don’t know how I feel about it.

Perhaps by the time she assumes the position of Commander in Chief of UNIT, Kate feels that she herself has earned enough renown and prestige that she no longer has to fear her name coming with underserved favours.

I am a Malcolm apologist, but Liz will always be the best

Hang on, Kate’s the Brigadier’s daughter? They kept that quiet.

Heavily agree with that. I remember when the 60th Trailer dropped and 14 called her “Kate lethbridge stewart” which made me raise an Eyebrow. Sadly, I am overall not very fond of how RTD2 has handled Kate and I am already not too big on that Character anyway, which is a shame since Redgrave seems like such a lovely Actress.

Of course it’s got to be PROBE’s very own

Liz and Klein. Answering the Doctor feels unfair. I don’t think Kaleidoscope counts, tbh. Alison is Counter-Measures so not voting for her either. Third place would be tied for Osgood and Shirley, I guess.
