Not sure if any of you have heard this before, but I like it.
While Freema Agyeman is on Virgin Radio answering questions from listeners, David Tennant prank calls to ask Freeda if she likes the last actor to portray Doctor Who more than the current actor, David Eccleston.

Oh Yeah Loved the song...I bopped along
Was that the song when he was pushing the doc around in the wheelchair?
What was it called I don't like that band but I did like the song...
I much prefered the other song when the Tochlafane first appeared even
though RT rip other folks songs off hehe.
====================================================
OMG OMG OMG OMG
I enjoyed the episode for the most part. It would however have
made more sense and been more poignant had they not done
the time reversal and left Earth to rebuild....... That would have
had far greater impact IMHO
But that notwithstanding a fracking good episode....
I was very forgiving of the whole "let's all think about the Doctor" and
he shall regenerate back to youth..... I liked that, but the way the
Master leaves, I get the feeling he may in fact be a lost family member
of the Doctor's bloodline. Anyone else kind of thinking that way?
Poor Tardis she was molested badly but the Doctor fixed her all up thanks
to the time reversal... Less said about that the better.
Did anyone notice the hand with the red nail polish picking
something off the ground?
I wonder who that could be. Was it the Rani? Or another alien
And will we ever see the Tochlafane again? Maybe the Doctor can
make them nice ..

Someone picked up a ring from the funeral fire of the Master, whatt does that mean? Could it be like harry Potter and contain a bit of the master? (horcrux style)
Even if parts were over the top and stretching believability somewhat I still enjoyed it hugely, liked last week better, but this had heaps of good stuff.
The wee little Doc was very creepy.
Capt Jack & the Face of Bo - oooooooooo.
Martha was great, can't wait to see her role in torchwood & return to Who.
I was very surprised we didn't get more about the female partner of the Master, I was expecting her to be an alien there is something very weird about her & then she joined the Doctor chanting.
Now I can't wait till all the dvds are out and I can watch the lot in a big chunk, there is an awful lot going on it's hard to keep it straight.

Some comments from who australia, whovian people with more who knowledge & concentration all the busy stuff going on than me -
The Master is not dead! He arranged with his wife ( Mrs Masters ) to kill him
if things went wrong. She was to get his ring after the funeral and
power it up. (it has his DNA in it) The Master then comes back to life
,regenerates, and then will go after Martha Jones to get his revenge,
Betcha!

I do like the Lucy Saxon character but I don't think she'll come back as the Master. I believe that the whole thing was a fail safe should the plan go wrong and that she will return as his "companion", forming a polar opposite with the Doctor. Not what I think should happen, more a prediction.

According to RTD the hand picking up the ring was just a little gift to any future production team who may want to re-use The Master. He claims he won't use him again but it would be churlish to kill him off for others.

But he chose not to regenerate ....... So a timelord can die
if they wish to....
But they burnt his body on that funeral pyre so how could he come back
I don't want to see tha Master back.. Once is enough.

I just watched the last 3 eps in a row. Quite an epic indeed.
My only criticism was that I thought the Doctor's 'compassion' for the Master to be 'Over the top'. I believe the Master deserved to be punished for his evil deeds. The gutless Master chose suicide instead.

wiki trivia:
In the episode's commentary, writer Russell T. Davies called the implication of Jack's nickname ("the Face of Boe") "a theory" as to the Face of Boe's origins, prompting Executive Producer Julie Gardner to urge him to "stop back-pedalling" about the two characters being the same. There was much laughter. Davies then mentioned the addition of a line in "Gridlock" in which the Face of Boe calls the Doctor "old friend", suggesting a strong connection between him and the Doctor. Jack previously referenced the Face of Boe in the Ninth Doctor Adventure The Stealers of Dreams, though the canonicity of spin-off material is unclear. Davies also jokingly termed the hand seen removing the Master's ring from the ashes of his funeral pyre "the hand of the Rani".[2]
The Master makes reference to the Sea Devils (which the Third Doctor and the Master encountered together in the 1972 serial The Sea Devils) and the Axons (which they met in 1971's The Claws of Axos).[3] The Doctor also makes references to the Daleks; the Daleks were previously seen to have dealings with the Master in Frontier in Space (1973) and in the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie.
Earth is referred to as Sol 3, the third planet from the star Sol, as it was in The Deadly Assassin.[3] Sol is the Latin name for the Sun, and is often used in science fiction.
The Master's laser screwdriver is said to be isomorphically controlled, a property the Doctor attributed to the TARDIS controls in Pyramids of Mars.
Clips from "Smith and Jones", "Utopia" and "The Sound of Drums" are used in this episode.
After receiving a great amount of psychic energy, and rejuvenating himself, the Doctor says the line: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry", a frequently used catchphrase of his.
Martha mentions that she once met William Shakespeare ("The Shakespeare Code").
When the Master is shot by Lucy Saxon he says, "It's always the women." He was previously shot by Chantho in "Utopia".
The Doctor's severed hand from "The Christmas Invasion", "Utopia", "The Sound of Drums" and various Torchwood episodes can be seen at the end of the episode inside the TARDIS.
At the end of the episode, the Doctor says "What?!" three times, after the RMS Titanic crashes through the TARDIS wall, which is also his response to Donna at the end of "Doomsday", when she appears onboard the TARDIS.
This does not appear to be the Doctor's first encounter with the Titanic. In "The End of the World" the Ninth Doctor stated that he had been onboard an "unsinkable" ship and that he "ended up clinging to an iceberg". In "Rose", Clive shows Rose evidence that someone that looked like the Ninth Doctor prevented a family from boarding the ship. In The Invasion of Time, the Fourth Doctor assures Cardinal Borusa that he had nothing to do with the Titanic's demise. The Doctor has also been on the Titanic in novels (for example, the Seventh Doctor in the Virgin New Adventures The Left-Handed Hummingbird), but the canonicity of the novels is in question.
The hand seen picking up the Master's ring leaves open the possibility of reintroducing the character at a later date, although Russell T. Davies stated in the podcast for this episode that this would not occur in the 2008 series.[4]
Martha mentions that both UNIT and Torchwood have been studying Time Lords for several decades. Torchwood was set up in "Tooth and Claw" for the specific purpose of tracking the Doctor, while the Doctor worked for UNIT in the mid-20th century. During the Doctor's tenure with UNIT, a full season of stories revolved around the Master, ending in his capture by UNIT in The Dæmons.

I'm convinced. I think I'm gonna vote Saxon when John Howard finally gets around to announcing the federal election.

So no one heard The Rani's laugh when that ring was picked up huh?
They're classmates from their Academy days. That whole class was nicknamed "The Renegades" as nearly all of them rebelled against the Gallifreyan rules. The Rani was also a member of that class.
So not related, but once former friends who ended up taking different paths, and you can see what happened with the Master once he was made to look into the vortex.

To tell the truth I hope not.... It's a nice mystery. Was it all in his head?
Was it something real? I don't really want to know.
I do wonder however if we'll ever meet the Tochlafane again, or if
there's a way to help them?

Well Burn old chum I did comment on the hand
and the idea that it could be the Rani.... But
wasn't the woman in the red dress also had
red nail polish on her hand? Hmmmmmmm.....
Was that Lucy Saxon the one a few people were drooling over?
