Doesn't that describe most of the RTD era as well? Lots of timey-wimey stuff on Earth, but not a whole lot of other worlds visited. I agree it is likely down to budget restrictions, as well as RTD working hard to sell the series to modern audiences who might not normally watch shows set on alien planets. I for one would welcome a Matt Smith season inspired by the Pertwee era (one of my all-time fave periods in classic WHO.)

Definitely, for only 26 years old he's got a real Doctor vibe. "I'm a girl!" "Oh fingers. Lots of fingers!" It fills me with hope for this season. But it's still friggen weird to be ten years older than Dr. Who! I guess it's a right of passage life time fans all face. -Clark

"The important question is not, are there aliens on other worlds? No. The important question is, do they have ray guns?"

Feb 17 10 6:36 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	New promo image. No sign of a sonic screwdriver - yay! And I like that girl! ( I was wondering if he can play 900 years old convincingly - then something occured to me: Has it ever been established whether, when the Doctor gives his age, he's talking in Earth years or Gallifreyan years? I assume they're not the same 365 days thing, and so his age ambiguous unless we know the length of a Gallifreyan year, yes? ) Last Edited By: Servant of Legendre Feb 17 10 6:39 AM. Edited 2 times.

The Third Doctor says he's been a scientist for several thousand years in MIND OF EVIL. The Fourth Doctor tells Sarah that he's approximately 750 years old in PYRAMIDS OF MARS and the Sixth Doctor quotes an age in one of his stories as well. When the show came back, the Ninth Doctor describes himself as being around 950 old or so and so did the Tenth. There seems to be a lot of discontinuity here and there between the Doctors and the ages of their incarnations at the time..various production teams and writers have contributed to this more than anything.

By the McCoy era, he was 953. When the new era started, it was rounded back to 900. I think in Voyage of the Damned (might have been a different show), he says he's 903.
