I’ve caught a couple episodes of the New Dr. Who on the Canadian channel we get here in Detroit. It seems to be running a couple weeks behind what the UK dopers get. (Father’s Day was on last night and you guys had a thread about it a couple weeks ago). All I’ve seen is Father’s Day and the one with the Dalek in the guy’s alien museum.
So what’s the story behind Rose? How did she come to be the companion and how does the Doctor know her mother?
Thanks all.
In the first episode of the new series, Rose encountered the Doctor during a visit to London when he was fighting the Autons. Rose decided to leave Earth and travel with the Doctor. A few episodes later, they returned. The Doctor thought it was just a few hours after they had originally left, but in fact, they were nearly a year later, and Rose’s mom had been thinking her child had been abducted or something. She wasn’t at all happy with the Doctor. Rose’s boyfriend, Mickey, had been questioned several times as well regarding her disappearance.
These episodes are really meant to be watched in order.
I eagerly await the DVDs.
