Why wasn't the TARDIS pulled into the void like Rose? It had been to Pete's world just as much as she had.

I was thinking it would be nice to have a companion who could actually pronounce the letters 'th', but seeing as Adeola calls her boyfriend 'Gareff' I fear I am doomed to frustration. I loathe that mispronunciation.

It's worse (I think) when people pronounce the letter aitch as haitch - drives me mad.

Thank you. That's very interesting. I should have guessed, because we have similar problems in Wales. I'm always having to explain that x doesn't exist in Welsh and that w after certain letters is pronounced as if it were English u.

I agree that one's own names being mispronounced is the worst thing. No-one mispronounces mine, but they do roar with laughter at the combination of my first and second names. (No! Not telling you!)
