Tales from /lost+found 123: I think this makes him his own uncle.

I got to tell you, I’m really surprised that Robert Hardy wasn’t actually ever in legitimate Doctor Who.

Change, my dear. And it seems not a moment too soon.

Look. I’m really sorry about this, but it’s late, and I’m tired, and I can’t manage a good cod-realistic sounding Big Finish-style back-of-the-CD blurb. Just look at the picture. It’s the fifth Doctor and an alternate sixth Doctor teaming up to fight the Doctor’s evil estranged son. And it’s clever because of real-world relationships between the actors and the characters they have played, and because back in the ’60s, Bill Hartnell had this crazy pitch where he’d be double-cast as The Doctor and the Doctor’s evil estranged son. That’s it. Enjoy.
