'Aliens on Gallifrey' seems to be a bit of a political hot potato there. The Doctor's father gets in trouble for faccilitating it (The Infinity Doctors) but it's a feature of the Romana Presidency that she really liberalises things thing on that particular issue (Lungbarrow). So yes, it would seem to vary politically. | 'Aliens on Gallifrey' seems to be a bit of a political hot potato there.

Speaking of Gallifrey, Tangerineduel, why'd you think it's worth mentioning ''The Ancestor Cell'' in the bit on changes to Sarah's timeline? I'm not saying it isn't, as there's a lot about the logic of that novel I'm unclear on, but I don't remember any of what goes on there directly effecting the 'Dust Paradox' at all.--[[User:Richard Jones|Richard Jones]] 13:30, 22 November 2007 (UTC) | Speaking of Gallifrey, Tangerineduel, why'd you think it's worth mentioning ''The Ancestor Cell'' in the bit on changes to Sarah's timeline?

Revision as of 15:59, 15 September 2010
SJA's (non-)membership in UNIT
Just a note that even though Sarah Jane was not an official member of UNIT, it was during the Doctor's years with the organization that she served as his companion, so I'm including her under the "United Nations Intelligence Taskforce" category. --Freethinker1of1 04:54, 15 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Reasons for the Doctor's not taking her to Gallifrey
Was ever explained why the Doctor felt/said that he couldn't take her with him to Gallifrey? I'm sorry, I haven't seen the episode, and I don't know where to look for an answer. --Treelight 17:22, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- I thought it was just because she wasn't a Time Lord. I'm not sure though, since I haven't seen the episode recently. -<Azes13 12:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- It was all to do with the Time Lord's non-interventionist policies. Before The Deadly Assasin they're all big on the looking down on the lower species and that kind of thing, after Assassin the society goes through a bit of a shake up (which leads to Borusa taking power). The Doctor couldn't take Sarah back to Gallifrey at that point, but obviously things moved on following Assassin, which meant he was able to take Leela and then Nyssa later on. (Don't ask me where I got this from...I'm pretty sure I've read it somewhere before).
- Alternatively it could have been the telepathic message that the Doctor receives foretelling the assassination of the President.
- Also, alternatively, additionally to my original statement, the last time the Doctor had his companions on Gallifrey was The War Games, and at the end of that the Time Lords wiped their memories and sent them back to where they started, so perhaps he didn't want Sarah to go through that. --Tangerineduel 12:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

We need to delete...
All the 90s stuff about her getting married and having kids. Perhaps a different section for the audios/novels which contradict the TV series. Perhaps we should regard them as alternate universes.81.96.164.52 23:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- No. The general format used on this wiki is to combine all different accounts into one, except on rare occasions. 23skidoo 15:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed we need to intertwined all sources unless they are conflicting. Dark Lord Xander 06:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Family - Brendan
Is he really an adoptive cousin? I've only seen him in K9 and Company, but I thought he was Lavinia's ward, not her adoptive son? Here (US) "ward" would just signify legal custody, not adoption or familial relationship. Is it different in the UK? Or just lack of a term way to describe the actual relationship?
