Found while trawling the web for Doctor Who stuff: A site detailing the scripts that never made it to screen. In future, when presented with 'Lungbarrow is canon because it nearly got made', I will point out that by that reasoning the Master is both the Doctor's brother and part of his psyche, Tyler Durden style. And that Sarah-Jane and Romana and Leela and the Brig are all dead. And that Blackbeard may have been the Doctor's long-lost renegade Time Lord father, Ulysses, and Borusa is his granddad and... let's just say I'm quite glad the Eight TV series never got made, gorgeous and talented though Mr McGann is.

I am far too amused that an unmade Two episode based around that good old sci-fi standby of 'good grief, a planet where WOMEN are in charge! Who could imagine?!' had Jamie saving the day by giving Zoe a good spanking. Ah, the Sixties.

I haven't heard that yet, but I love the Master and REG (his brief turn as Ten in Curse of Fatal Death is brilliant) so will have to track it down.

I've never really been convinced by REG's turns as the Doctor. Maybe it's just because he's some sort of fantasy casting apparently based on him being Posh, English and A Bit Camp? I'm not sure obvious casting can end well with the Doctor, really. Cos, really, who was going "Y'know, we need to get that Scottish guy who shoves ferrets down his trousers, he'd be SMASHING"? And yet Sylv was TEH BRILLIANT.

Umm, "IMHO".
