Shut Up Doctor

[jazzy_dave]

The Robin Hood epsiode  of Doctor Who had to re-edited in light of recent events with beheadings from the Islamic State terrorists as explained here in the Radio Times  -

and here on the Dr.Who Worldwide website -

There has been no word on whether these scenes will be restored in future DVD/BluRay releases or future repeat broadcasts. I hope it will as it clears up any cofusion about the Sheriff as being part man and part robot.

As it was, it was a good episode with lots of light humour in it.

I know some Whovians do not like Clara but for me she is wonderful, and is a  perfect foil to the Doctor.

So i pose a question, which female is your favourite Who companion?

Favourite female companion is Barbara. Nobody else even comes close.

Agreed. And Ian. The Doctor is at his best with a male/female pair I think - Amy and Rory were great together too. And Turlough and Ace for different reasons.

Yes. I don't know why a male/female combination should make a difference, but somehow it does. For me, companions don't come better than Ian and Barbara. Jack and Rose were great too. It still rankles that we were cheated out of a full season with them. And yes, Turlough. With the exception of Peri, who I never warmed to, the Fifth Doctor had a good group of companions all round. The writers didn't always know what to do with them, but that bit of variety in the TARDIS was a strength. I'm so bored with the single female companion arrangement!
