Quickly, before heading off to the Paulskirche:
While I was busy at the Book Fair, some kind soul at scans_daily put up the second issue of Doctor Who: The Forgotten, here. (Which is great if you live on my side of the Atlantic and are thus deprived of the chance of buying it.) In which there is both a Two and a Three era flashback. The Two flashback is in black-and-white, as was the one One era flashback last issue; the Three era in colour, but not the same colour used for Ten and Martha in the present day framing narration. Instead we get slightly washed up colours reminiscent of 70s video tapes. No prices for guessing that, affection for Two, Jamie and Zoe not withstanding, the Three flashback was the one that made me ridiculously happy. I mean, the opening panel alone, with the Doctor, the Brig and Jo driving with Bessie! If some you talented icon makers - looking at you,
kathyh - can make an icon out of that, or of any later ones, it would be awesome. Also, letting the Brig say "I find your faith in this vehicle most disturbing, Doctor" has to be the best Star Wars misquote, ever. And the way Jo saves the day is just so Jo! Go, read!

Date: 2008-10-19 12:23 pm (UTC)I've been listening to the Cadmium 2 (http://cadmium2.wordpress.com/) podcast about British cult tv and radio, and they are covering (among many other things) all of Doctor Who. All of it. In order. As a result, I have been thoroughly educated in the delight of Ian and Barbara.
I am totally in love with Ian and Barbara! They are awesome! Do you know of any good meta or fanfic about them? I'm two podcasts from the moment they leave the show and I am not ready to let them go.

Ten Times Trouble (http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=21126): one of my favourite fanfics - Ian and Barbara's wedding, which the Doctor attends. All ten of him. And his companions. Works perfectly if you're familiar with the regenerations and if you are not, and bride and groom are awesome throughout. (No wonder Jack hits on them both!)
Like This (http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=9723): Barbara, Ian and a stranger, years later.
I have more, but I need more time to track them down, and these are a start!
