Howling:The woman Wilf saw... she is a Time Lady.

I Googled Claire Bloom and recognized the picture: the woman Wilf saw in the church, the one that dissapeared. She is creidted as playing 'The Woman'. She was listed with all the named Time Lords/Ladies appearing in The End of Time (The Doctor, the Master, The Second, The Partsian, The Visionary, the Narrator, ect..), and she herself has a titled name.

Most of us probably agree that she is a Time Lady, and has been rumoured to be playing the Doctor's mother (I support this). The Doctor mentioned that he keeps running into Wilf and finds it odd - same thing happened with his relative, Donna (note: same thing happened, and they would be related). So why would a Time Lady, of all things, contact Wilf?

You know what I find stranger? She knows things about him, she mentions his time in the war. Time Lady talking to Wilf adbout his time in the war... Yeah. It is leading me to believe she might be refering toi the Time War, that Wilf is a Time Lord himself. That old box of things he has could have an old fob watch. With the Time Lords returning, and especially how of all times for Donna and her memories to be returning being with them coming back, and how her relative is being contacted by a presumed Time Lady called 'The Woman' and he keeps running into the Doctor (of which Donna did, too), it is all really making me think he is a Time Lord.

The word "Time Lord" can be made out of "Wilfred Mott" rearranged with three extra letters left (f t w), too. Let the Donna theorises come back! But yeah, by dafult, I believe Wilf is a Time Lord and Donna, in turn (and the fact that her memories are coming back at the same time as the Time Lord's returning), is of Time Lord descent- born on Earth, but still of descent, and parhaps the war that was mentioned by 'The Woman' was the Time War, and maybe Wilf escaped it and did the whole human thing a long time ago. I don't know what to make of Slyvia, though.

There was a mentioned of the mother-daughter relationship between Donna and Slyvia in Journey's End with Slyvia calling Donna her daughter, and the Doctor reply, "Then maybe you should tell her that once in a while." I like to interpret it as a hint that maybe Donna isn't really her daughter- maybe adopted. Heck, Wilf adopted Slyiva if he became human at some point? You never know.

I'm just seeing quite a few odd things involving Wilf and Donna. I'm just annoyed by the family relation to Slyvia and how it would affect that- nothing odd about her other than her bad moods. In Turn Left, Rose mentioned that even without the Time Bettle, they read sepperate strange energies coming from Donna, and they had always been there, that is something else I found odd.

Even though Sylvia refers to Wilf as 'Dad', he could be her father-in-law - that could explain him and Donna both having Time-Lord DNA and not Sylvia.

I do not think Wilf is Syvia's father in law, her husband Goeff was named Noble if Wilf was Geoffs dad then it would the family would have been mott. Mott is Sylvia's maiden name she married Geoff. Plus Wilf could have been a time lord hence his interest in aliens. Used a chameilon arch had children Sylvia who had a daughter. Thouhg one thing does not add up after the Pythia died on Gallifrey Time Lordswhere born in Looms. --Catkind121 11:57, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

A few thing don't add up, but I can't really ignore these weird things about Wilf, and the same applies to weird things about Donna. I question the family realionships because I can picture Donna and Wilf going Time Lord-y, but not Sylvia. We'll see what happens, I guess. Delton Menace 13:29, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Just a mad thought, if The Woman is the aforementioned mother of the doctor, could it be possible that Wilf is the doctor's father with his memory altered, hence the hint drops about the war. Geffe71 20:38, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

I thought that, too, but it was confirmed in episode commentery that Wilf is human, and the war refers to World War II. Delton Menace 23:29, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

ah. i dont listen to commentaries till they are on the dvd. thanks for the update Geffe71 03:57, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if anyone has thought of it, but could the Woman in fact be Romana? If she was deposed and replaced by Rassilon, we know that former presidents do serve on the Hight Council from the novel the Eight Doctors, it would also explain why the Doctor trusted her and why she may have been one of the two time lords that opposed Rassilon.

Julie Gardner came right out and said "She's the Doctor's mother, let's just accept it, Russel" or something like that in part 2 later commentery. This episode was to chronicle the Doctor's descission to give up his mother, someone he loved, to save time itself. Delton Menace 14:32, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

The Doctor's mother was my first thought watching it; instinct would seem to point in that direction. The other logical choice, which occured to me was that it could be Susan; when Wilf asked the Doctor about the identity of the woman, the camera focussed on Wilf and then Donna, which could suggest a similar relationship between the Doctor and the woman. Having said that, my thoughts are that she was indeed his mother. Her sacrifice of her life (and position in the Council) and protectiveness of the Doctor seem consistent with what a parent would do to look after their child. CB
