I wonder...

[hmpf]

if Sam and Gene ever argue about the relative merits of the various Doctors. Gene, of course, predates Doctor Who, he had a Wholess childhood (my god, he's prehistoric!), but if he did start to watch the show at some point, his allegiance probably lies with Hartnell or Troughton. For Sam, on the other hand, the One True Doctor must be either Pertwee (though he may be just a tad too young for that) or Tom Baker. Baker, probably, simply because that must have been the predominant Doctor of his childhood.

Hmm...

No. But there were moments - both in The Silurians and in Spearhead From Space - where the Doctor cheerfully (or, sometimes, grimly) went against what the Brigadier thought was 'right', that made me think of Gene.

I don't think they map onto each other perfectly, either way.

Now you're making me wonder about a crossover in which it's Bessie versus the Quattro.

Quattro?

And thus we learn Selena has rewatched far more AtA than LoM and can keep only one of Gene's cars in her memory.
