That whole episode really drew me as a viewer much further into the Doctor Whoniverse...and really cool to find out where Pete came from.andiandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08647715775242828578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20125944.post-1138549905285699292006-01-29T15:51:45.286Z2006-01-29T15:51:45.286ZIt's the surprises that make all the difference. ...It's the surprises that make all the difference.
