@Mrcheese5000 I personally think The Doctor loved both of them. And River. I ship Four/Romana, Nine/Rose, and Eleven/River. I don't understand why the people who like different pairings can't get along.
I watched the other night, The Pandorica Opens, and there was something I didn't pick up when I viewed it the first time. The written in ancient Gallifreyan got me thinking. Obviously River's has to be a Time Lady, quite possibly Romanadvoratrelundar, aka Romana. She was intelligent, witty, and a good companion for the Doc. Is Romana River's? I guess we will soon see :)
@TheD0CT0RWH0fan If she was Romana or another Time Lady for that matter, wouldn't she have regenerated when she died in "Forest of the Dead?" Unless she had used up all of her regenerations, that is.
Y'know, I'd much rather view these scenes of the fourth Doctor without added music. I watch the video for the clever dialogue and for remembering Tom Baker as the Doctor; not for some excuse to hear a song I care nothing about.
Can you imagine how the world of Doctor/Romana goodness would look if they'd done it in the 21st century reboot?
I'll be honest, until the advent of Donna Noble, I never thought there'd be a companion who'd level up to Romana. Ever. At all. She was the best. Donna's got her beat now, but she's still up there at the very top of a very long list, and made of pure awesome.
This vid was amazing, and Romana is amazing and Baker's Doctor was amazing and everything is just amazing.
I have been reacquainting myself with the Tom Baker years through NetFlix. I was very young when the shows originally aired. So, it has been great to see the shows. I find that Elizabeth Hurley sounds a bit like Ms. Tamm. Great compilation video. Thanks
This is amazingly wonderful. I keep watching it and I still love it, months after the first time I saw it. It's just so well done. We need more Four/Romana I. I doubt many could beat this one, though. It's just great.
as far as fangirly pairings go, I think the Doctor and Romana is one of the more excusable ones, partly cos she was one of the better companions, and mostly because after I've seen the Doctor paired with Davros(and I have)then I am no longer surprised.
I hope they actually bring back Romana. Say, through the chameleon arch or something. THAT would be brilliant. Or the Rani! She'd've been a brilliant villain if she'd had better episodes.
@blackwhimsy , ah, but is she Romana or Rani? She did say say that she was sorry and that he would find out who she is very soon and that's when it would all change. But then again, in the library, she did whisper the Doctor's real name into his ear and it's so much of a secret, there is only one time he could tell someone that...hmm.
@LoriCiani Romana's off in a different universe if I'm not mistaken, and she's with somebody, she wouldn't come back acting like she was married to the Doctor. Plus, River knows the Doctor's nickname from school... on Gallifrey. When she defaced that old planet by carving into the side of a mountain she put HELLO SWEETIE and coordinates and "Theta Sigma" in Greek letters after it. That was his nickname. Theta Sigma. The Rani would have known it.
@danaseilhan I do beleive what I'm about to say is cannon as it was an official BBC annimation. In the revised Shada, Romana was not only back from E Space, she was President of Galifrey. The whispered word only to be mentioned in a certain circumstance is not his nickname as it has been mentioned casually by the Doctor and, if I remember my classic Who correctly, a friend of his has mentioned it too. So, not such a forbidden name if even his friends can say it out loud.
@fatlad1231 In an interview Mary Tamm says it was her decision to leave because the Romana character was becoming to similar to previous girl companions. She offered to do a tranformation scene to introduce Lala Ward in the character but the BBC refused her offer.
I prefer Romana I, but you make an interesting point. I know I'm in the minority on this one, lol. I do think Romana I would have changed as well (even without regenerating). The main complaint I see about R1 is that she's too haughty - she *had* just come from the Academy, I think she would have become a little more like the R2 you describe as she spent more time with the Doctor. But that's just my opinion :-)
@drummergirl1025 I'll be honest, I think Ten(nant) ties up with Baker pretty easily, maybe surpasses him... but no one else compares to those two. Period.
@rocklee1397 I am entitled to my opinion as you are entitled to yours. To be honest, when I first started watching Doctor Who as a kid, I never- and I mean NEVER- thought that anybody would surpass Jon Pertwee as the greatest Doctor of all time. And then I got into the Baker era and it rocked my world. But it is my honest opinion that Tennant is every bit as good a Doctor. Maybe it's just that his general spazziness appeals to my spazzy nature, I don't know.
@rocklee1397 Oh, yeah, no resemblance at all. Hell, Tom Baker was so popular they actually had to bring back the Master and do a bunch of specials when he regenerated, just to smooth things over...
@LaraElSupergirl How dare you mention Mr Baker and that tartan wearing haggis scoffing imbasile in the same breath and as for surpassing Baker...piff and nonesense
@Alexm799 YES she had class though for vivaciousness and pure sexiness you've got to rate Leela as played by the wonderful Louise Jameson who looks good now as she did back in 77!
@iloveabba100 Haha yeah forgot about her! Lalla was a real looker, great outfits if I remember correctly,I don't mind saying I had many a teenage daydream about that particular assistant! ;D
Nope, The second Romana (Princess Astra) was better looking... but Sarah Jane was one of the best. But no one holds a flame to Amy Pond in the newer series. so =P
@TheDaedalEVE Sorry we'll have to agree to disagree on Romana 2 but Amy Pond (if she's the one I'm thinking of, straight reddish hair) then yeah She is nice to be fair.
I wish they'd seperate the DVDs - I really want the ribos operation and the stones of blood but not the whole season. She was hot because she knew her worth and she was hot because she was complex and had faults and strenghts. And she was hot because she just was
Eee, Romana. Much love for her. (For both Romanas, actually. They both have their charm... Lalla had the cutest smile, but Tamm is just... well... hot. And from Four's reaction when he first sees her, I'm sure he agrees.)
Mary Tamm is gorgeous. A Pure English rose. In my mind only Nicola Bryant has come close to her for sheer sex appeal of any of the companions. Best wishes to them both should they ever read this!
Great video- I always thought Mary Tamm was the better Romana- Not only beautiful and aristocratic, but I bought her as a Time Lord, someone one an equal intellectual footing with the Doctor.
I'm trying very hard to suppress my first reaction, which is, "Eeeeeeee!" Four/Romana is my second favourite ship after Seven/Ace (and yes, I went and watched your Seven&Ace fanvid as well). This is awesome and brilliant.
This is just... so perfect. I already commented, but I was rewatching it, and I just thought: this is brilliant. Well done Calapine.
....how on earth did you get the clips? *jealous* I have to balance my digital photo camera on a stack of books and use the video option while I play it on the screen!
Very nice video. Must say, I prefer Romana I over Romana II (Sarah Jane will always be my favorite.) However, Mary Tamm is just amazingly beautiful and a finer actress. i just feel that Lalla's relationship with Tom in real life took away from the intrigue of the Doctor/Romana dynamic, knowning that they were shacking up behind the scenes.
I'm pretty sure my girlfriend would break up with me if she could read my thoughts while I was watching Mary Tamm on the screen. What a gorgeous lady. Great video- well done!
if u're on about the pairing? yes, they did try to outdo and insult one another quiet allot didn't they? Lol! I still think the Doctor shouldn't be paired up with anyone though. It's a gd vid nice timing. *thumbs up*
I should be finishing my own when i finally get some deadly assassin clips of him inside the matrix and the begining. Hard to find, if anyone has any ideas on how i can find some, without having to resort to the dvd, plz say. The sooner i know, the sooner i can get it done. XD
Ahh, Doctor/Romana... yes, it's beginning to get to me too. Pfft, Rose ain't got nothin' on her, my secret hope is that somehow Romana will return in the new series. Somehow. *slow nod* Great video!
I suggest that we kidnap Matt Smith, and don't give him back until Moffat agrees to BRING ROMANA BACK!!!
I really love what you did with this video, and the song is perfect for Romana and the Doctor.
