Does anyone remember where it was that Russell T. Davies referenced Romana as president? I seem to recall he wrote an in-universe article or story somewhere, perhaps for an annual or DWM, in which this was referenced. This should be added to the continuity note I added, since it furthers the legitimacy of this piece of expanded universe information with regards to the TV series.

The BBC comissioned Big Finish to create Shada involving the 8th Doctor, and Romana as Lady President of Gallifrey, with k-9. Its on the official BBC website for Classic Doctor who, in cartoon, albeit a very poorly webcast of one. Though in addition, they did have Scream of Shalka with an alternate 9th Doctor made, both in 2003, before the TV revival.

If she regerated into Romana II, then had to change herself 4 times afterwards into the same one she was. Is she Romana II or Romana VI?

this should help you figure it out.

This scene (from Destiny of the Daleks, right at the start) is explained some where (in the Gallifrey (audio series) but also some where else I think), but the general idea is that some Time Lords can 'preview' their bodies without actually regenerating fully. An example of this is The War Games, the Doctor gets a preview of his bodies, or also Planet of the Spiders with K'Ampo, and also The Watcher in Logopolis (TV story). Also in the PROSEs there's the concept of the Eighth Man Bound which also raises the concept of seeing future bodies.
Additionally it's generally accepted as a quirk of the story (namely one which has Douglas Adams as script editor).--Tangerineduel 15:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Is that why she said dhe was "Regenerating" instead of saying she had regenerated. and then the Doctor told her to change body?
