'''Welcome to the Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first. British English, please We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card. Spoilers aren't cool We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details. Other useful stuff Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
 * the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
 * our Manual of Style
 * our image use policy
 * our user page policy
 * a list of people whose job it is to help you

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial

The Doctor (When Times Change...)
Just wondering, but would it be possible if you could post a quote or two from When Times Change which confirm that the woman that gives Conall the photo is the Doctor? We must be careful to only use evidence from within the story itself. CoT    ?  21:26, July 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * Sure! Here's the whole story (it's very short):


 * He wasn’t having the best day. Sir Alistair reached for the water, but a coughing fit caused him to knock it over.
 * ‘Damn it!’


 * The door to his private room opened and a young man entered.


 * ‘Grandfather!’


 * ''Sir Alistair chuckled. ‘It was only a cough, Con, nothing to worry about.’
 * Conall Lethbridge-Stewart, his eldest grandson, regarded him with suspicion. Sir Alistair was, unfortunately, used to it. He’d battled on as long as he could, but he knew, deep down, that the end was approaching. A voice, edged with a soft Scottish burr, entered his mind.'


 * ‘You were supposed to die in bed.’


 * Conall placed the glass on the side and sat down. ‘I have something for you,’ he said, and reached into his pocket.
 * ‘Oh yes?’ Sir Alistair peered closely at the postcard Conall was handing over.
 * He looked at it closely. No, it wasn’t a postcard. It was a photograph. A young blonde woman, dressed in some kind of trench coat and one those… Oh, what did the kids call it? Oh yes. A hoodie.

�
 * ‘Who is this?’


 * ‘Well…’ Conall smiled. ‘Let’s just say, she appeared in my living room with a big blue box.’
 * ‘She…?’ Sir Alistair looked at the picture again.


 * ‘Surely you don’t mean…?’


 * ‘She left a message on the back.’


 * Sir Alistair turned the photo over and read the message. An apology for not being able to visit, something to do with crossing personal timelines, and a final line about how he… no strike that… she wanted him to see her new face before the end.


 * The look of surprise on his face must have been a picture, as Conall burst out laughing. ‘The women are taking over,’ he said.
 * Sir Alistair smiled at this, an image of his daughter jumping to mind, and Conall’s own sister and what she would go on to do. And now…


 * ‘Well,’ Sir Alistair said, ‘if there is one thing I have learned after all this time, it’s that regardless of the face, the Doctor is always the Doctor. Even if she is now a woman.’


 * He reached over and poured two shots of whisky. He handed one to Conall and raised his own glass.
 * ‘To the Doctor. Splendid person, all of them.’
