:: Check mark for Cromer it is. The resemblance is, in fact, slightly better than that: "A man with a moustache was standing there, his civilian overcoat and scarf not hiding his military bearing." I know, of course, that most men wore moustache at the time. But still it is another match (and quite soon after Ypres seemingly). So to me, this serves as a sufficient proof that Archibald and Archibald Hamish are the same person. (Even though, with all due respect to him, I struggle to imagine Gatiss's smile to be infectious. It must be the roles he usually plays.) | |||
:: But it's even better than that. I was just going to say that Archibald as the Brig's grandfather goes the same way as [[The Woman (The End of Time)]] as the Doctor's mother when suddenly... Thanks to a Christmas present from [[Candy Jar Books]], [[Andy Frankham-Allen]] and [[David A. McIntee]], we fans are treated to some holiday bliss. We can set our differences aside and enjoy this improvisational duet of BBC and Candy Jar Books (or maybe it's a chess match, I don't know). Here is the relevant quote: | |||
{{quote|[[Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart (The Warkeeper's Crown)|Alistair]] bristled at his brother’s focus on [[Gordon Conall Lethbridge-Stewart|Gordon]]. Looking from one to the other it was plain to see that they were the spit of each other… And still Gordon did not know.|What's Past is Prologue|What's Past is Prologue (short story)}} | |||
:: To the best of my understanding, Gordon is the father of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. I wouldn't treat this as anything definitive, mind. But it certainly opens up possibilities for an in-universe continuity that is not at odds with what one can hear in interviews. As an admin, I don't care since those interviews are irrelevant. But as a fan, I rejoice at the ability not to be torn internally. Hope others will enjoy this too. And bravo, Candy Jar.
