Small point- I don't think he's ever lost a Companion due to old age, but as we've seen, the job can be very dangerous and a few of them have been killed in action.

I loved those two together. My sister gave me a few VHS tapes of Dr. Who as a suprise and a a couple of them are of TB/ES. I think I've stretched those out from too many viewings. I only wish I could look that well right now and in a few short years as her.

Wow, I loved the ep! I was going to say something last night, but I didn't get a chance. I loved Mickey's "I'm the tin dog" moment, that cracked me up!Spoiler:

That was pretty cool.
Sarah Jane Smith was always my favorite companion. But then, Tom Baker was always my favorite Doctor too. Call me old school if you must.
So I guess it's all about the hair. Good Giles with his slightly rumpled hair, Evil Giles with his perfectly slicked back coif. To see him facing off with the Doctor was a Nerdgasm on par with the revelation of Minas Tirith in the LOTR movies...squee!

Okay, so Housing Estates are the British equivalent of Projects. This means...Rose is supposed to be Ghetto? She doesn't SEEM very Ghetto. Maybe ghettos are different in the UK.Through Life's dull road, so dim and dirty

Housing estates aren't automatically ghetto. Most aren't. I lived in one for a spell and I I'd get laughed off the face of the planet if I claimed to be ghetto to anyone who's ever met meOriginally posted by Thermonuclearboy View Post

The nuances of 'trailer park' might perhaps fit some of the nuances of Housing Estate.
(Although yes, ghetto in the UK is rather different to the american ghettos. We'd all wait nicely in a proper queue to get shot by the ghetto druggies, and we'd do it in a suitably random mix of metric and imperial.

I really liked this ep. I am young enough to have seen some of the Tom Baker eps, but all I really remember is a man in a really long scarf and being absolutely terrified. So, for me to feel a connection to Sarah Jane & K-9 is a testament to the talent of the people on screen.
There were dsome great lines in this ep. Award for most intense was the pool scene where the doctor talks about being old & not giving more than the one chance (shiver). Award for the one most likely to make you laugh till milk comes out your nose has to go to Mickey, "I'm their man in Havana, their technical support I... OH MY GOD, I'm the TIN DOG!!!!" Although,, Rose & Sarah Jane dishing about the Doctor's personality quirks was pretty hilarious, too.
Anthony Head was fantabulous, even batlike in his movements, bravo!Comment

Here in the US, a ghetto is mostly located in the inner cities (NY, Chicago, LA, ...etc). They are mostly State/Federal ran, where some people who are on some sort of assistance (State/Federal welfare, food stamps). And these are usaually large blocks of apartments, ranging from 2-12 stories high.
It also has a negitive connotation here, as it's more of a state of condition. Run down areas, poor housing, and the such. Comment

Sounds similar to a council estate, but very different as well...

Well, I suppose "ghetto" isn't the most accurate word. In America we have "Housing Projects" and/or "Housing Developments" which are pretty much analogous to British "Housing Estates." "Ghetto" is more a cultural thing than a physical thing. Tough urban working-class neighborhood, often with a lot of crime and poverty...that's a ghetto. You may find Projects IN the ghetto, but the Projects are not the ghetto in and of themselves.
