Nonetheless it was there and must mean something?

I dont think it was drumming - more of a heartbeat too.

This is going to sound strange, but, it kind of sounded lonley? I knwo that sounds weird.

Also - just to speculate, if she is a timelord, what did Dalek Caan say - a companion would be killed forever? Funny choice of wors, normally if your dead your dead.

UNLESS YOUR A TIMELORD!

There was however beeping to the same beat as the drumming when Harriet was establishing contact with people on the Subwave.

They must have put that in for a reason.

Yes. How very isolated & alone Donna felt at that moment. Hence the accompanying tears.

I thought that was a bit weird too, the way he said it didn't make me think it was a simple "Exterminate" and you're gone.

Who picked up the master's ring?

At the end of the last series when he was being cremated, his ring fell off, and someone picked it up!

This could be irrelevant

Or Captain Jack !

It sounded more of a heartbeat to me then a drumming noise, but why would they put that in?

The Heartbeat did sound lonely, if others think that...I'd defiantly agree.

yep. we should meet up,

ps, also homeboy cos we are both from Leeds AND East lancashire. and if you re-arrange his birthdate... .... .... LOL!
