Let alone the fact that she's apparently a Time Lord with the name "Susan".

I've always just decided there's more to her than a simple biological grandfather/granddaughter relationship.”

Also see the BBC's 35th Anniversary Novel, The Infinity Doctors: http://www.doctorwhoreviews.co.uk/PDA17.htm

Even if you don't consider it canon, the ideas presented in it are beautiful - and Lance Parkin was either a clear influence on RTD, or they had very similiar visions.

To my knowledge, the Doctor has slept with at least four people; whoever was his wife/lover/whatever back on Gallifrey, Iris Wildthyme (in his Fifth incarnation), Bernice Summerfield (in his Eighth incarnation), and River Song (in his Eleventh Incarnation).

We're talking about an alien who had a daughter created by someone stealing his DNA in a machine, so no not necessarily talking about human sex.

Are we? I must have missed Hartnell delivering that plot point.

Yes that and how cold the Tenth Doctor was to Jenny at first as if she wasn't his real daughter as she'd been created by a machine.. and his disbelief at Donna suggesting he had Dadshock... really sounds like someone whose Granddaughter was not a product of his biological offspring.


I know this is nuwho reference but this episode doesn't really reference the Doctor as a sexual being... in fact Donna is very surprised he had children.
