It's because all human foetuses start off as females, only differentiating into the two genders later in development. Therefore every part of the female body is found in some form on the male.

Actually, I did know that.

I was just attempting to be "humourous" by ending on that comment.

I really don't take myself half as seriously as everyone else seems to do. I just pretend I do for the amusement value.

More humans = More resources used up = Bad for the planet = Bad for the humans that do survive.

Therefor, our population is too big,imo.

The tardis will obviously be at the bottom of the pit somewhere, and the right way up no doubt... Id love to see it on its back and the doc have to climb in - can you imagine him falling across the room Wwwaaaaaahhhhhhhh !

That would be brillent.

Allthough i guess the other possibility is someone else showing up to rescue them......

Gwyneth
Killed by blue gas creatures in the cellar of a funeral parlour.

Suki
Frozen to death on the top floor of a space station by the ceiling monster.

Lynda
Blown out of a space station window by the Daleks.

Reinette
Dead in a wooden box, being towed through the rain by horses.

Scootie
Blown out of a space station window by Satan.

You see, I'm telling you, there's a misogynistic edge to some of this writing.

But, ironically, not from RTD - who seems to absolutely adore Rose - despite being gay (or maybe because of?).

This is "writer projection", isn't it?

A writer has to get inside their characters and RTD's experiencing what can be described as "autogynaphilia" (e.g. liking the idea of himself as a woman).

While some of the other writers are enacting what seems to be a "rejection revenge fantasy" because the fitter the bird, the more horribly they must die.

In the now "metrosexual", "new lad" and effeminate era, it seems "vagina envy" is coming to replace "penis envy".

No, I'm only jesting.

Moffat clearly was as enamoured of Reinette - and who can blame him, when Sophia Myles graces the part? - as the audience were and it's just "Armin Tamzarian syndrome" that necessitated her speedy demise.

Actually, did anyone else notice that the episode features sound effects taken straight out of the original DOOM?

Was that delibrately thrown in by the sound effects team, to make a subtle comment on the writer's mild plagarism in this episode?

Well, if you didn't notice it, then as I needed to test out my new video editing software somehow to put it through its paces, I decided - for a laugh - to compile a little video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sVGzBwOEX8

It's my "revenge" for them killing off my new obsession in MyAnna "Scooti" Buring. The bastards.

I haven't altered the sound on the "Toby" parts at all. It really does use the opening and closing door sounds - I have provided the filenames, if you want to check it out yourself - from the original DOOM in the episode.

I also couldn't resist editing the scene with the "trapdoor" to correctly call it "the Hellmouth", which it clearly is.

Apologies to RTD for chainsawing him at the end. It's not really his fault (this time) but I couldn't find a photo of anyone else on Google.

Yes, I clearly do have too much time on my hands.

It simply isn't long enough for Darwinian biological evolution to have happened in any significant or noticable way. They were Homo Sapiens, as are we.

Technically correct.

However, that has no bearing on longevity, since when people reach 50 or somewhere thereabouts, they stop having children. So, any life after childrearing is a bonus, and a totally Darwin free zone. Which may be related to the number of cancers etc that tend to kick in about then.

I was going to also put in the other things people commented on here - the demon in the hologram looking suspiciously like "the beast" off Angel / Buffy - but I couldn't find decent footage for the comparison.

IIRC, Patrick Troughton used to have a little metal whistle that he could blow on and the TARDIS would materialise nearby.

Can one of the Who geeks confirm this?

Surely it will be the Tardis that comes up out of the trapdoor...
