Jockin' the Bonnet

That's Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart...to you...note that the good Dr must ask the Brigadier what his unbifurcated garment is...it makes great sense that the Dr's bonnet would be unjocked if he doesn't even know what a kilt is...I'd say the continuity department earned their stripes this once...although in the series on the whole the continuity department seemed to be smokin' joe in the back alley nearly all the time...

That, I think, is one of the draws.
And, I just wanted to use unjocked in a sentence.

That is the beauty of a show about time travel, you don't need continuity. lol.

I am a little puzzled as to why the Doctor would ask the Brigadier what he was wearing given that, in a previous incarnation, he had Jamie as a kilted companion!

Jamie, you crack me up!
I trust you all know that Jamie McCrimmon was the inspiration for the Jamie Fraser character in the Outlander series... I always new Ms. Gabaldon was smart!

Speaking of the Doctor, I was suprised that so much fuss is make about Karen Gillan's alleged Scottish accent (she of course plays the current lovely companion). It's true that regional accents are fading everywhere, but hers is so faint to my Canuckish ears as to be barely even British, never mind Scottish. But at least she seems to have inspired a kilted Scottish episode (or, over here, perhaps two?). The trailers are on now and they start airing this week.

What channel are you getting it on? It used be be on CBC, but I see it's been on Space (which we don't get) for almost a month now, but still no sign of it on the CBC. I'm perplexed.

I'm seeing it on Space, sorry. The CBC betrayed me too, in the long-ago when I was a little boy and they failed to air The Doctor out of CBC Montreal. A ridiculous reluctance to terrify children. I didn't even know what a Dalek was until I was in my 20s! I feel the cultural lack to this day; for instance, I never had the famous "behind the couch' childhood experiences, and when people discuss the first three or four doctors I only have an adult's perspective, which is no fun.
This is the same Montreal station that aired The Goodies, which apparently and for reasons I don't care to state few other CBC outlets would even touch. Stupid public broadcasting!
