Given the Doctor's current practice of snogging other men, that would be beyond cool. Although, as derien says, one may simply dream...

*L*! Is that what's been happening on the new show???

We're not up to that episode in Australia as we're a couple behind, but I've seen pics of a lovely slashy kiss with the Doctor involved. Heehee.

Wheeee! *L*!

Yes! I'm so envyous of people who are getting to watch the show!

Unfortunately, in the show where he got kissed he also regenerated, and you know how that goes for people who change their looks a lot - Time Lords and Trills can't seem to keep relationships with the more stable-in-appearance beings going.

*nods* Yes... one of those well-known sayings... *G*

But - they switched actors already? Or was this the first show?

I think this was episode twelve with Christopher Eccleston, but I have to guess from the ep guide here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/

Yep, they've switched to Tennant after the end of the series, apparently.

Grah, I wish they'd keep up the slash!

Hey... so where did that pic of Hugh with his finger on his mouth come from (in your icon)?
