    Default Gary Russell's Series 4 Word List (SPOILERY ?)

    Not sure if everyone who bought it has noticed, but in the Introduction to the Doctor Who Encyclopaedia Gary R cheekily provides a list of words and phrases which might (or might not) appear in a second volume.
    Having now spotted 2 being present in VOTD, I provide the whole list here.

    I thought it would be fun for people to speculate or identify (when S4 starts) when they pop up

    Adipose
    Bannakaffalatta - red spiky bloke from VOTD (according to BBCi calender)
    Blyton, Enid
    Carravaggio, Daniel
    Century House
    Chandrakala, Miss
    Foss Street
    Gray, Private
    ICAPS
    Major Domo
    Noble Corporation PLC Limited - Intergalactic
    Passenger 57
    Peth, Astrid - some Aussie Bird
    Rattigan, Mrs
    Red-Eye
    Red Widow, the
    Scoles, Mr
    Sense-Sphere
    Sibylline Oracles
    Silicon Valley
    Skree, Lt
    Spartacus
    Spectre Inspectre
    Sto
    Unicorn
    Vespiform

    Maybe we could speculate as to which ones are the ringers too ?

    She's in the Sontaran episode, along with Rattigan Academy.

    Unicorn
    A word confirmed in a Production Notes about "T.U.A.T.W"... which may be called 'The Unicorn and the Wasp'.

    Adipose

    Passenger 57
    Have only watched about half of VOTD but spotted that the Doctor uses this pseudonym to get info out of the Host.

    I'm guessing Lt Skree is a member of the Sontaran army.

    Sto was where Astrid came from, wasn't it? Assuming that she wasn't educated at the public school at Stowe, that is.

    "Vespiform" sounds interesting- I think that means wasp-shaped...

    or maybe they just end up watching a Wesley Snipes movie-a-thon...?

    My Missus spotted that the Doctor used the Wesley Snipes pseudonym, Passenger 57.

    She also rated it 8/10.

    I always smile when I hear "Passenger 57" - I've never seen it, but me and my brother had a mate once who saw it years ago. The day after he'd seen it he came round to our flat and gave us such a detailed synopsis of the film we always reckoned it would have been quicker for us just to watch it!!

    How long did the explanation last Andrew, because the film itself is only 80 minutes?

    It seemed to last all afternoon, and well into teatime!

    Red Eye is obviously the Oody illness.

    As I said last time (when I was ignored), Lt Skree is a Sontaran. Vespiform is the name of the wasp-like creatures in episode 7.

    No, Pip, you weren't ignored but you said you were guessing.
    The ones I've put in bold are the new ones for stories we've seen; the other one you mentioned for the Sontarans I've put in with a ?

    There's a few we've seen that you haven't put in bold. About 3 from VOTD for example.

    The Major Domo was a character in 'The Fires of Pompeii'.

    Private Gray is a ? for Saturday as there's a character by that name listed in the Radio Times.

    It's not my fault if I'm a lazy reader. You should have made more effort to make it stand out and underlined it in the first place
