Jamie Has an Idea

[mariah20rox]

it's wired....this is what my friend do to me.....

[windsockstudios]

awww Jamie has lack of people to hug!

[jaredofmo]

2, seriously... Listen to Jamie! Scottish people are smart!

[writingmaniac27]

Love Patrick Troughton's Doctor! This is a great clip!

[spikelilgirl]

I just wish there was more than just this clip out there. This looked like a really fun episode.

[fedokosmokrator]

@spikelilgirl The full episode does exist! The clip is from episode 2 of "The abominable snowmen". Unfortunately, the remaining six episodes are lost.

poor jamie, i love him to death!

[TheJamieExperiment]

JAMIE ROCKS

[spikelilgirl]

Yep, he does!

[spikelilgirl]

I love Jamie. Why did the Doctor get rid of him?

[spikelilgirl]

Anyone know how old Jamie is suppose to be? I know that Hines was 22 when he started the series but it's not clear how old Jamie is.

[mariettasweets]

The Doctor didn't get rid of him. If you watch War Games, you'll see that the Doctor didn't have a choice in Zoe and Jamie leaving.

[spikelilgirl]

Oh, ok, but it would have been nice if Jamie had stayed.

[fivebearrugs]

At the end of "The War Games", the Time Lords exile the Second Doctor to present-day Earth (in this case the 1970s). Jamie and Zoe are sent back to their respective time periods and their memories with the Doctor, except for their first adventures with him, are wiped. Since the Time Lords lifted the Third Doctor's exile at the end of The Three Doctors, it would have been nice if they had rewarded the Second Doctor by giving Zoe and Jamie their memories of him back.

[spikelilgirl]

Ah, that raises a question, what if they did and never told the Doctor!? I think they said that Jamie and Zoe would live full lives. That means they(the Time Lords) must have known that they(Jamie and Zoe) were going to be all right and maybe, just maybe, got their memories back.

[fivebearrugs]

Oh, they told the Doctor; he and the Time Lords watch Jay-Z, er, J and Z return home safely: Zoe returns to the Space Wheel and is greeted by her friend, while Jamie is about to attack a Redcoat while screaming "Creag au tuire!". It is here that the Time Lords reveal this to Troughton. Try looking up 'war games' on YouTube and you'll eventually find the clip

[spikelilgirl]

I did see that clip. What I meant was, after the Doctor left, and they forgave him, the Time Lords might have given Jamie and Zoe their memories back and never told him.

[fivebearrugs]

Oh okay...yeah, that would have been nice. I mean, look at Jamie: all that work he did only for him to forget it forever. He and Tegan have the honor/honour of being the longest-running companions on the Classic Who series, albeit it was Jamie who was in the most stories, while Tegan beat him in terms of duration by 3 months.

Then there's that fan-discussed Season 6B, which is where The Two Doctors falls into...

[fivebearrugs]

And to reply to both of our responses, that would have been nice, but THEN...that would interfere with the already-errored scene in The Five Doctors where the Second and the Brig meet Phantom Jamie and Phantom Zoe (which, strangely, were a bit nicer than the shady phantoms of Liz and Yates).

[spikelilgirl]

Yeah, you're right about The Five Doctor one because they wouldn't have remembered the Second Doctor. But, and I learned this from the commentary, Jamie was supposed to be the one paired with the Second Doctor not the Brig.. But, due to the jerks over at Emmerdale, Frazer Hines wasn't allowed to do it. They only allowed him two/three days and that's why they did that small scene with him and Zoe. But, he said, if he hadn't done that little scene, he wouldn't have done the Two Doctors.

[classrule]

Wouldn't Sarah-Jane be somewhere on the longest running companion scale? Simply for being the only companion to REALLY be in four seasons (okay, Tegan was too, but she only had that one episode with Four...) She certainly wins for most random appearances after she stopped being a regular companion (and for most spin-offs...)

But then, you could count the Brig as a companion and open up another can of worms. :)

[spikelilgirl]

Yep, Sarah-Jane counts. And the Brig has to be the one that was used the most, so, yeah, I'd consider him a companion, too.

But, going back to Jamie, he is the one that gets talked about more then the others. The fifth and the sixth Doctors mentioned him a few times and the tenth even used his name as a cover("My name is Doctor James McCrimmon."). And, he was included(an older version)in the sixth Doctor's comic strips. There is also an audio book about him. Helicon Prime. :)

[LilyKnotwise]

This clip is amazing, I'm in love with Jamie already.

[penguinsloveDW]

I love this short clip, but at the same time I'm thinking "Where the heck did the BBC props guys get a giant Buddha?" Speaking of getting the short end of the stick, let's here it for the props/sets guys on Doctor Who. They always get so much flack, but really they were quite brilliant.

[Bakubear]

Ahaha, poor Jamie. XD

[AnUndeadMonkey]

He always gets the short end of the stick, doesn't he...

[SarahLeia]

I remember that bit! I haven't watched much with Victoria, but I do remember that bit! :)

[spookette]

Doctor, why are you so mean to our poor Jamie?!

[LadySpoCoy]

It makes me want to reach out and give Jamie a big hug.... but then, just seeing him does that too ;p

[saturn669966]

Why even post this what a waste of bandwidth

[gottrimmtrabb]

I'm sorry, I was unable to read your comment for lack of punctuation.

[boobabycluebaby2]

Aww. Poor Jamie!
