Day 534: Full Circle Part 1

When we begin Full Circle, there's something a little bit different. The Doctor and Romana have been recalled to Gallifrey. Romana's quite sad about this, because she's realised that it means that the Time Lords want her back, and for her to stop travelling with the Doctor. It's a little odd to see this happen because it hints at another life for the main characters beyond their travels in the TARDIS, something which we haven't really encountered since around the time of Sarah Jane. Obviously things go wrong, and we'll look at how that all works in a future entry, but for now we can appreciate the fact that the production team are clearly making an effort for our main characters to have lives outside of the 25 minutes that we see of them each episode, making them more rounded and interesting as a result.
