Well done Mr Tennant. For remaining unspoilt in the wake of the adulation you engender for the exceptional body of work you have created thus far in your career. I too, along with one of my sisters, think you can ever be replaced as The Doctor however skilfully replacements perform the role. I just want to add, along with all the oft related regulars, a real soft spot for Dan in DINKY! Mainly I do this as I cannot believe what the government are allowing to happen to the trees woods an forests in this country! Whether Scotland and England remain as one or not, makes no difference to the nature on this tiny island, both flora and fauna need taking care of, how dare we lecture other countries on what they are doing to the rainforests? Our government should hand their heads in shame! Happy to contribute to the grove. x
