I should have linked this video from part 1. If only the vidder had used the David Tennant / Billie Piper credits from Season 28...

Disclaimer: "Doctor Who" characters belong to the BBC. "Knightmare" characters were created by Tim Child.
Summary: Rose had had enough adventures that she could probably have walked through one blindfolded. This time, she would have to do precisely that.

The path is closed, and yet there came
A challenger: Rose is her name.
The Doctor's held in dungeon grim
And Rose must quest to rescue him.
Her guides are drawn from time and space;
Their first adventures they now face.

...it occurred to me this afternoon, while I was in the middle of doing something else entirely, that Rose's three advisors are all from her first season -- which means that she's utterly dependent on advisors who won't recognise the object of the quest when they see it.

<terrance-dicks>Don't worry, I can cover that with a line :-)</terrance-dicks>

Oh, I know it's not a problem if you don't want it to be. (If nothing else, Treguard does know what the Doctor looks like. And if I've learned one thing from all the Knightmare I've watched in the last couple of days, it's that being pledged not to interfere doesn't stop him giving broad hints if he thinks they're warranted.)

I just wondered if you intended it to be a problem.

(To which the answer is, of course, "Wait and see...")

And as you now see, the answer is: ~strange musical noises~ No.
