"Enlightenment wasn't the diamond. Enlightenment was the choice." (I love a reluctant redemption storyline so Turlough's one of my favourite companions)

This says the 26 episode Disney contract means there should be 8 episodes left - but the 3 David Tennant specials, 2 Christmas specials, two 8-episode seasons and the 5-episode UNIT spinoff = 26.

We definitely did. "Rose" aired 26 March and Eccleston leaving had been announced within days: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/enterta....

I'd put money on it being Susan. Boss=foreman.

Clearly people love some Target romance: there's as much fanfic about Rogue's dead boyfriend Art (who only appears in the novelisation and doesn't get named onscreen) as both Joy to the World companions combined.

I'm pretty sure this is it. The Doctor says the goblins went after Ruby because they feed on coincidence. Desiderium is from the Zufall family - "coincidence" in German.
