http://www.chakoteya.net/index.html Chrissie's Transcripts Site, "Your one-stop site for who said what and when on Star Trek and classic Doctor Who." What a fantastic resource! If you haven't been, go!

Just as the 11th Doctor and River kept meeting in the wrong order, I've been watching classic episodes in a similar way... in no particular order. Funny what turns up.

4 minutes and 50 seconds into into the first episode of Time Flight "the TARDIS encounters heavy turbulence, as if it's been caught in the wake of another time machine" according to http://www.drwhoguide.com/who_6c.htm, when it (the TARDIS) along with the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan begin to experience a rather rough ride as the TARDIS suddenly lurches while subjected to sustained shaking...

"DOCTOR: Nyssa, have you touched the dimensional stabilisers?
NYSSA: Of course not. All systems functioning normally.
DOCTOR: It could be the relative drift compensator.
NYSSA: No.
TEGAN: Some sort of turbulence?
DOCTOR: Feedback from the solar comparator? No.
NYSSA: Another ship.
DOCTOR: Another ship? What do you mean, another ship?
NYSSA: If it builds up at this frequency, it could draw us into spatial convergence. We must materialise immediately.
TEGAN: But we're due to land in London in a few minutes.
DOCTOR: If we don't materialise, the TARDIS will be destroyed."

Source: http://www.chakoteya.net/DoctorWho/19-7.htm (Time Flight Transcript)

The first line of dialogue says it all: DOCTOR: "Nyssa, have you touched the dimensional stabilisers?" These would be the stabilisers that (according to the 11th Doctor) don't exist?

Okay, so the TARDIS has been reconfigured a number of times since the 5th Doctor, or at least the console room has changed, but are we to believe that the core systems of how the TARDIS traverses time and space have likewise changed? Don't think so.

Of course there's always Rule #1. You can explain away anything and everything with that.

Happy Travels!

The first five minutes of this audio TSAR WARS is just so awful I couldn't listen to more. And I have to say I LOVE Tom Baker but this start was so randomly terrible, the worst start to any DW story anywhere in any format, that I just couldn't. Here's hoping they end this awful NEST COTTAGE or whatever they are calling it, soon. They are of limited intelligence and poor plot and far too over the topness for me. In short, they're as awful as season five and six of the New DW series.
