Day 216: The Mind Robber Episode 2

A regeneration occurs in this episode. Ish. Frazer Hines, the actor who plays Jamie, caught chicken pox, meaning that he was unable to be present for the filming of this episode. In normal circumstances, this would mean that Jamie would just be off screen for the entirety of the episode, however things can be a little bit different this time. The Mind Robber, as witnessed by the previous episode, is a bit surreal. Therefore, it somehow makes sense in the episode that when the Doctor rescues Jamie, he does it slightly wrong and ends up with a different actor playing Jamie. It shouldn't make sense, but it does because that's the nature of this story. Things aren't meant to make sense, meaning that we can become truly creative with the way that this story is told.
