I am nominally reading papers with a mind to redrafting my literature review, and actually having a think about which characters in non-Doctor Who fandoms are Time Lords who've been through a chameleon arch and turned human, either because it would Explain So Much, it would lead to hilarious consequences when the watch was opened, or it just amuses me. Jeeves from Jeeves and Wooster, obviously. Bernard from Black Books. Giles from Buffy. Jane from Coupling (either she of Jeff would be magnificent companions, by the way.) Anyone from Red Dwarf...? Maybe Kochanski, since she regenerated and no-one noticed. The Stig, of course.

Who are yours? And why is this not a fic challenge yet?

This really does need a fic challenge, doesn't it?

Not sure if you're familiar with the fandom, but I'd submit that Horatio Hornblower and/or his book-sidekick William Bush from C.S. Forester's books could be fobwatched Time Lord CIA agents, making sure that nobody mucks around with the critical bits of Earth history during the Napoleonic Wars except them.
(If you're going with the A&E/ITV miniseries version, you could even have Bush as a fobwatched Eight.)

Oh, that's really quite fabulous. I've only read a few of the books, but I've seen the series - watched for the McGann-ness, of course - and that would be entirely brilliant.
