During an interview regarding Death Of The Doctor RTD said, "I would have filled the place with former companions if I could. I'd even have brought Romana back from e-space." Clearly he thinks she survived the war.
it would be great if romana came back cos the doctor says its impossible for there to be another timelord in the universe but if you remember she didnt go back to gallifrey....and actually neither did his grandaughter
@vinceandlilly I'm kinda glad she isn't. I mean... It wouldn't really make sense for Romana to be all "Spoilers!" and be all about guns and such. And also... I mean. We saw River die. Of all the peeps to think, "That could be Romana!" I would it to be someone we know will be alive for a bit, at least.
I remember towards the end of Donna's run...the rumors flying rampant. All the clues seemed to point to Donna being unveiled as a Time Lord (Lady) in hiding--perhaps even Romana! Alas...RTD lacked the necessary imagination.
If Romana ever comes back, I'd like her to be brunette like the FIRST Romana... there have been way too many female blondes in Dr. Who. Bring back the brunettes.
im new to this whole romana thing so first of all can someone please explain who she is?? and two from what i can gather she seems to be a long lost timelord companion of the doctors, so with that in mind... could it be river song from the new series??
@richpartist She was awful, sorry... i think she would fair better with the 11th doctor. She stepped over the line way to far with the 4th, she even offered other people HIS jelly babies!
I've a big theory that Romana could be River Song but she has one of the fob watches so she doesn't know until the last time she sees the Doctor before the Library episodes
@gallafey err...after who terrible stories, Time and the Rani, Dimensions in Time, I really wouldn't. The mark of the rani was good and the actresses voice is excellent but...not really. There are obscure characters in doctor who and popular ones. Romana is popular, the rani hasn't even turned up in a big finish audio. And they include nearly everyone. Including Susan.
It would be good to see Romana back. She was the Time Lord President when the Time War was on for young and old. How they explain her return would be really interesting given they've done the Master, Davros and Timothy Dalton's Time Lord character
Natalie Dormer as Romana would be awesome! The only downside is that she looks a bit older than Matt Smith. Even though they are around the same age, it's one of those issues.
Oh, this would have been SO much better than what ACTUALLY happened with the "she is returning" nonsense. Romana would have been a much better R-word companion to bring home than the one they actually did.
@Dooku64 Dude. If that were the case... I might go and KISS Stephen Moffat. Seriously. If he could find a way to work my former absolute favorite companion (she's now been replaced in the top spot by Donna, but that's another story) back into the series... My god. I would explode from happiness.
Romana is the only character in the show's history that gave us an extensive look at another decent Gallifreyan, and the only companion who was ever on the Doctor's level (time lord, President of Galllifrey, etc). They badly need to bring hr back.
Folks, we may have to come to terms with the likelihood that the BBC is not going to re-introduce ANY more of the classic series characters. Sarah Jane was the exception that proves the rule. WE keep talking about Romana, Rani, Susan, et al, but the Who show makers keep writing about the Doctor being the last Time lord, period. I see no mention from Moffatt about anybody else being brought back. They don't even express an interest in showing the McGann Doctor again. It's OUR dream, not theirs.
@CaptDingDong Spot on wit your comments. I think the popularity of reintroducing Sarah Jane was something te BBC may not have initially counted on. It would be good to see more of the original series characters/companions reintroduced. After all, if they can explain the resurrection of Davros and the Master, there's hope yet.
@CaptDingDong maybe but theyve managed to feature not only Sarah Jane but K9, the Brigadier, The Master and even resurrect the 5th Doc allbeit for a five minute special so if they can dip into those ancient relics then they can certainly resurrect others.
And as for the last timelord schtick the face of bo blew that out of the water with his revelation and in any case just cos the Doc thinks he's the last doesn't. Wars have many survivors not just one.
@CaptDingDong They brought back The Master and K9, the Sarah Jane Advrntures makes reference to Liz Shaw ACE and Barbara and Ian, Jo Grant appeared, The Brigadier came back, there's nothing indiciating tye won't bring others back so it's not that obscure a proposition, the defining factor is that thye have to have a good reason to bring them back not that they don't ever. Steven Moffat has even overseen the reappearance of an alien that comes from the Patrick Troughton era.
@CaptDingDong What about the 'mysterious woman' at the the end of The End of Time? Personally, and I think others may agree, I believe that she was either Romana or Susan because the Doctor recognised her and felt guilty when he looked at her for what he was about to do. I think only Romana or Susan could make him feel guilty like that.
@xxxAliceMariexxx Well although it is left open to interpretation I always felt that she was the Doctor's mother. n a March 2009 email reprinted in REF: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale The Final Chapter, on pages 622-623, Russell T. Davies states that he created the character to be the Doctor's mother, and that this is what actress Claire Bloom was told when she was cast. See next comment:
@xxxAliceMariexxx During filming, newspapers The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph announced that Claire Bloom would be portraying the Doctor's mother.
However, Davies has acknowledged that the character could be interpreted as any trustworthy Time Lady or possibly even someone else like Susan Foreman or Romana III.
River song is a repulsive character! The less we see of her the better! I can think of far more intelligent ways to bring back Romana! Oh and by the way it was pretty obvious in the last episode with David Tennent The two women who didn't want to go along with that bogus Rassilan were none other then Romana and Susan!! I mean Helllllloooo!! DUH!!!! But please stop giving those moronic writers any ideas! Any good idea in thier incompetent hands end up looking like utter rubbish!!
I want Romana to show up again, all regenerated and back from e-space. In fact being in e-space could make a good justification for Romana not being sealed inside the Doctor's time bubble.
I had a theory that River Song might be Romana but now i;m not so sure after seeing Pandorica opens. (I sort of hope she is though. who else could she be?) i know people say the dr would've been able to tell. well not exactly. being a time lord, i think they can block other time lords from knowing that they are.
If they can bring the entire Timelord race out of a supposedly time-locked event, they can also find a reason to bring Romana back. The new series has already brought a lot of the old serials' elements back.
hmmm they should bring romana back cause if i recall she stayed in that seperate world or whatever it was to help save these things if i recall so she never went home at least they never said she did.
This would be amazing. They need to bring Romana back so badly. I mean, I'm okay with Rose, but her importance is really over-done. I feel that if that Doctor had to name a companion he was closest with, it would definitely be Romana. They were great together. The new series needs to bring back The Rani too, if anyone knows who that is.
I do! Problem is, they've made such a big deal about the Doctor being the last Time Lord. The more they bring back old Time Lords, the sloppier the story gets. Just my opinion. The villain I really want to see them bring back is the Black Guardian.
What I think would be good is if they brought back romana, but still played by lalla ward. The Idea of an older romana would work, as she has spent time as president and been through the time war etc, and I don't think anyone could nail the character quite like she has done.
Well, let's hope that Miranda Richardson can nail the character she's playing in Doctor Who! She's playing a character called President Romana...wouldn't like to guess who that is but just take a look at imdb and the credits for end of time part 2!
natalie dormer as romana very interesting. i love romana shes my favourite companion. well mark I in all her crazy white dress thing and her call me fredness. :D
personally I'd like to see Lalla Ward reprise the role long enough to die in the Doctor's arms and regenerate, but I seriously doubt that'll happen even if the do bring her back.
Doctor who is like a repeating loop, everything always comes back eventually, daleks, cybermen the master, Susan, Sarah Jane, omega, christ even the macra casme back and the venom grubs got a mention we're being eased into the whoniverse slowly but make no mistake we are still in the loop.
They could bring Romana back cause she is in E space with the other incarnation of K-9. So it would be great for her and that K-9 to come back in the New Doctor Who series. They brought Sarah Jane and her K-9 back why not Romana!
if so then the TV series pretty much ignores the continuity of the books so they could still do it. if not then they could just use the watch the same way as they did the master.
She is (was?) a time lady in the Tom Baker era who decided to remain in e-space , so I don't think he could go beck to get her, since the gateway between e-space & normal space wasn't able to be transversed once the Dr. left. As I remember that's the way it was written.
There's got to be an alternative reality where the far more likely scenerio that the Doctor died heroically saving Gallifrey happened. If that reality could crash into the Doctor's I'd like to see some crossing overs; Romana and maybe the children of Leela and Andred and possibly even the Rani.
Editing gets two thumbs up, as does concept. My only issue is that...well, it's almost too well edited. I had a hard time convincing my friend that this is not true (though how I wish it were)--I think a bigger/better disclaimer is needed.
Romana's my favourite companion of all time, by the way, and I use the whole E-space thing as proof she survived the Time War--but then again I have a whole other theory for that.
HAHA. Wow, that's the loveliest comment I've ever had, I think. And I was thinking, "I could probably to a better manip job with photoshop now..." XD Thanks for that. Though I can't be bothered with making a bigger disclaimer... So I'll just chuckle with glee when hearing that some thought this video is actually legit.
Depends on which version you follow. Standard cannon reveres her as the President Elect of Gallifrey. She assumed the position after leaving E-Space with the help of another certain companion also living on Galifrey.
Twas she, in an attempt to ease tensions with the Daleks, who handed them the Master. (leading to the movie with eight)events after that remain... sketchy
I haven't seen a lot of Old!Who, but I think they could believably bring back Romana, even without the watch thing. 'Cause she was in another dimension, right? And in Stolen Earth and Journey's End, the walls between realities were breaking down, giving her the perfect chance to come back!
Yeah, that's how she left the show, but in the books and audio plays, she found a way back to our universe and became Lady President of Gallifrey, and according to RTD, she was President during the Time War... So really, it's RTD's fault ;D
This was never stated in the show, therefore one writer's belief is not anothers. It has not been stated during an actual episode (offical cannon) that Romana even left E-Space, let alone became the President. So it is still possible for Steven Moffat to bring her back, even if RTD didn't want to.
While that's true, that would be ruining the great work Lalla herself taken part in with Big Finish, and I've already become attached to the idea of Romana as Madame President of Gallifrey... But then again, when they brought Sarah Jane back to the new series, they've basically discarded her storyline outside of the show... So yeah, you may be right, but would we, Romana fans, like that?
Obviously I can only speak for myself, but personally, I'd just like to see her come back. Chances are, that they would discard the work that Lalla Ward has done for Big Finish, but only for people who have never listened to those audio adventures (myself included), as it would be like starting a book at Chapter 15.
Fair enough, and it's true, I'd love to see her back, her personality intact. I'd SAY I'd be outraged that her history via Big Finish and the novels were scraped, but I'd probably not care so much if I saw her on screen. XD I'm a person that would squee if the Doctor made one, tiny reference to her, so yeah. Which I always thought unfair they never did, especially when they went to a parallel world. I mean, I know E-Space was a pocket-universe instead of parallel, but, come on...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I admit its up to the writer and what new things or old they can bring into the tv series ,we all wanted Rose to come backa dn she did and if one person writes in a petition , someone might listen ax
Oh wow, I love this! Natalie Dormer looks very Romana-like with the blonde hair, she's better than Sally in my opinion. Fantastic use of audio to go with the clips! I really, really love this video. It makes me want to make a new one of my own! Maybe a proliferation of Ten/Romana vids will make RTD bring Romana back... can't we dream?
Aww, thank you! And doesn't she? That was the one thought that came to me looking at Natalie Dormer in those clips, that she'd just make the PERFECT Romana... And I heard she'd like to do some action scenes... So... Yes, in my dreams? Though, I'd prefer a dark haired Romana. I've had enough of blonde women in Who. XD
Ah! I adore your vids, and yes! We must make a "Bring Back Romana" movement! But, I believe the one we must impress is mister Steven Moffat =O
Why don't we start a "Bring Back Romana" movement? I'd love to have Romana back in the show, and I'm sure a whole heap of other people would too. I really think it would be possible.
Or rather, DW SHOULDN'T be about nonsensical fanfiction, but I believe we kissed that ideal goodbye when the Doctor and Rose came into the picture... I mean, did anyone that's seen Journey's End NOT scream "FANFIC ENDING" when it came to them? Seriously...
And that is why I'm glad RTD is leaving and Moffat is taking over, as I adore his writing even before Doctor Who: The New Series.
But, I also want to see Gallifrey and the Time Lords come back as well, especially after all the glorification both has received through the new series... Just to see that oh too holy image of both Gallifrey and the Time Lords to just...shatter. As, let's face it, the Doctor and the Time Lords never truly got along, and the fact the Time Lords were very xenophobic... I just think it would be a great thing to see.
And also, I wants my Romana, damn it. Nothing can change that.
That scene on the beach with Rose and the Doctor was fanfic alright. Complete cheese. Yes, and Thank god for Moffat taking over. The Library episode and the Girl in the Fireplace are prolly the best storys of the new series.
Holy shit, that's the best news ever! I thought we were being spoiled when I heard there was going to be a Moffat two-parter in this latest series. Fantastic, absolutely amazingly fantastic, you just made my day with that.
Shame about Gallifrey though, as fauxutubeuser said, if anyone could do something awesome with the Time Lords it would be Moffat. Anyway, I wouldn't want Romana back if it were going to be fanfic nonsense.

to be honest, I don't want Riversong to be Romana, because Riversong isn't anywhere near as cool. She was so darn underdeveloped.

personally I'd like to see Lalla Ward reprise the role long enough to die in the Doctor's arms and regenerate, but I seriously doubt that'll happen even if the do bring her back.

I'd rather Romana didn't return, no offense to you Romana fans but I didn't much care for her. But a return seems inevitable in the new series.

Doctor who is like a repeating loop, everything always comes back eventually, daleks, cybermen the master, Susan, Sarah Jane, omega, christ even the macra casme back and the venom grubs got a mention we're being eased into the whoniverse slowly but make no mistake we are still in the loop.

There's talk of Adric coming back because Steven Moffatt had apparently said his death was '...up for speculation'.
It could work because we didn't actually see him die on screen.

They could bring Romana back cause she is in E space with the other incarnation of K-9. So it would be great for her and that K-9 to come back in the New Doctor Who series. They brought Sarah Jane and her K-9 back why not Romana!

Actually the 4th Doctor went back and got her. She became The President of Gallinfry.
rathraven1313 2 years ago
I thought that was just in one of the books?
if so then the TV series pretty much ignores the continuity of the books so they could still do it. if not then they could just use the watch the same way as they did the master.

Yes, I can definitely see Natalie Dorner as Romana. And I would love to have Romana back, that would be just awesome!

who was Romana ? i never saw much of the old series yh and what ever happened to the Rani?
TheJCSM 2 years ago
Romana was a Time Lady, and the Doctor's Companion between 1978 and 1981. For many, including myself, she was the best Companion ever.
As for the Rani, her last "official" appearance left her trapped inside her TARDIS with a T-Rex.
archmageaskara 2 years ago 2
to The JCSM:
She is (was?) a time lady in the Tom Baker era who decided to remain in e-space , so I don't think he could go beck to get her, since the gateway between e-space & normal space wasn't able to be transversed once the Dr. left. As I remember that's the way it was written.

There's got to be an alternative reality where the far more likely scenerio that the Doctor died heroically saving Gallifrey happened. If that reality could crash into the Doctor's I'd like to see some crossing overs; Romana and maybe the children of Leela and Andred and possibly even the Rani.

Editing gets two thumbs up, as does concept. My only issue is that...well, it's almost too well edited. I had a hard time convincing my friend that this is not true (though how I wish it were)--I think a bigger/better disclaimer is needed.
Romana's my favourite companion of all time, by the way, and I use the whole E-space thing as proof she survived the Time War--but then again I have a whole other theory for that.
Romanadvoratrelundar for the win.

And indeed, Romanadvoratrelundar for the win!

Romana would be cool. What the heck happened to her anyway? (don't answer, I'll google)
Korilian13 3 years ago
Depends on which version you follow. Standard cannon reveres her as the President Elect of Gallifrey. She assumed the position after leaving E-Space with the help of another certain companion also living on Galifrey.
Twas she, in an attempt to ease tensions with the Daleks, who handed them the Master. (leading to the movie with eight)events after that remain... sketchy
at best

Monica6Reyes 3 years ago
I haven't seen a lot of Old!Who, but I think they could believably bring back Romana, even without the watch thing. 'Cause she was in another dimension, right? And in Stolen Earth and Journey's End, the walls between realities were breaking down, giving her the perfect chance to come back!
RionaDaidouji 3 years ago
Yeah, that's how she left the show, but in the books and audio plays, she found a way back to our universe and became Lady President of Gallifrey, and according to RTD, she was President during the Time War... So really, it's RTD's fault ;D
fauxutubeuser 3 years ago
Ah, I sense a flaw!
This was never stated in the show, therefore one writer's belief is not anothers. It has not been stated during an actual episode (offical cannon) that Romana even left E-Space, let alone became the President. So it is still possible for Steven Moffat to bring her back, even if RTD didn't want to.
Romanus 3 years ago
While that's true, that would be ruining the great work Lalla herself taken part in with Big Finish, and I've already become attached to the idea of Romana as Madame President of Gallifrey... But then again, when they brought Sarah Jane back to the new series, they've basically discarded her storyline outside of the show... So yeah, you may be right, but would we, Romana fans, like that?
fauxutubeuser 3 years ago
Obviously I can only speak for myself, but personally, I'd just like to see her come back. Chances are, that they would discard the work that Lalla Ward has done for Big Finish, but only for people who have never listened to those audio adventures (myself included), as it would be like starting a book at Chapter 15.
Romanus 3 years ago
Fair enough, and it's true, I'd love to see her back, her personality intact. I'd SAY I'd be outraged that her history via Big Finish and the novels were scraped, but I'd probably not care so much if I saw her on screen. XD I'm a person that would squee if the Doctor made one, tiny reference to her, so yeah. Which I always thought unfair they never did, especially when they went to a parallel world. I mean, I know E-Space was a pocket-universe instead of parallel, but, come on...

has to be haughty, maybe french. Could be irish , canadian or south african. Sort of a snow queen. Alice Krige. there you go.
although the next dr or master could be john malkovich in my opinion. would look great in period clothes and be very maquiavellic.

Oh wow, I love this! Natalie Dormer looks very Romana-like with the blonde hair, she's better than Sally in my opinion. Fantastic use of audio to go with the clips! I really, really love this video. It makes me want to make a new one of my own! Maybe a proliferation of Ten/Romana vids will make RTD bring Romana back... can't we dream?
tuesdayweek 3 years ago
Aww, thank you! And doesn't she? That was the one thought that came to me looking at Natalie Dormer in those clips, that she'd just make the PERFECT Romana... And I heard she'd like to do some action scenes... So... Yes, in my dreams? Though, I'd prefer a dark haired Romana. I've had enough of blonde women in Who. XD
Ah! I adore your vids, and yes! We must make a "Bring Back Romana" movement! But, I believe the one we must impress is mister Steven Moffat =O
And yes, let's dream <3

RTD has left Doctor Who. He's writing three specials, but Moffat is now in charge of the next regular season in 2010.
DW isnt about nonsensical fanfiction...and Moffat will be steering the boat even further from that. He hates Gallifrey and the Time Lords.
HeyArnoldsspleen 3 years ago
Or rather, DW SHOULDN'T be about nonsensical fanfiction, but I believe we kissed that ideal goodbye when the Doctor and Rose came into the picture... I mean, did anyone that's seen Journey's End NOT scream "FANFIC ENDING" when it came to them? Seriously...
And that is why I'm glad RTD is leaving and Moffat is taking over, as I adore his writing even before Doctor Who: The New Series.
fauxutubeuser 3 years ago
But, I also want to see Gallifrey and the Time Lords come back as well, especially after all the glorification both has received through the new series... Just to see that oh too holy image of both Gallifrey and the Time Lords to just...shatter. As, let's face it, the Doctor and the Time Lords never truly got along, and the fact the Time Lords were very xenophobic... I just think it would be a great thing to see.
And also, I wants my Romana, damn it. Nothing can change that.
fauxutubeuser 3 years ago
Actuallly what I would like to know is if the Matrix is still around. You could build some interesting stories there.
upchuck69 3 years ago
That scene on the beach with Rose and the Doctor was fanfic alright. Complete cheese. Yes, and Thank god for Moffat taking over. The Library episode and the Girl in the Fireplace are prolly the best storys of the new series.

Holy shit, that's the best news ever! I thought we were being spoiled when I heard there was going to be a Moffat two-parter in this latest series. Fantastic, absolutely amazingly fantastic, you just made my day with that.
Shame about Gallifrey though, as fauxutubeuser said, if anyone could do something awesome with the Time Lords it would be Moffat. Anyway, I wouldn't want Romana back if it were going to be fanfic nonsense.
