The more modern idea is that, instead of a woman giving up her last name, she will hyphenate it with her existing and new surnames. It's usually maiden name and then surname, hence Noble-Temple.
A tuppence is the short version for two pence, i.e. two pennies. (I assume you know what a penny is.) It is to signify that he doesn't earn much.
It looks too flimsy and sily to be a tank top to me, but each to their own.
Ah, this is me losing my mind. It's meant to be the Master looking that way, not the Doctor. Thanks, I'll change it.
I adore the relationship between the Doctor and Wilf. However I stand by the way I originally read that scene.
Is it just me or did Naismith's daughter look like his wife? Seriously, I thought they were kidding at first. And where is his wife? AND *is full of questions* who is he, besides some crazy rich dude? (Lol not that you can answer these but still.)
It compeltely freaked me out, too. I presume they had to make her old enough that she could make her own decisions about immortality (so it didn't look any weirder than it already does) and wanted to get her beyond the awkward teenager stage. Still, it's a very creepy relationship! I can't help imagining, Bluebeard-style, that the wife is locked in an attic somewhere...
What exactly do you think is allowing the Master to fly/shock/everything else? I don't remember other Time Lords (especially the Doctor) being able to do that so I'd love to hear theories on how that's possible, other than his 'regeneration', which I don't think would afford him any extra powers like that. Dunno.
I wondered if this came about as a result of one of the potions from the Book of Saxon that brought him back to life. I don't think any of the other Time Lords have had superpowers, so I presumed it came from that.
What the heck was Wilf thinking, taking the Doctor so close to where Donna was?!?! (And in kind, why didn't the Doctor cloak the TARDIS when he stopped in front of Donna's house?) She could have walked into the cafe/outside of the house and burnt to a ginger crisp on the spot. I'm just sayin'.
I think Wilf had a fantasty that the Doctor would be so drawn by the sight of her that he would leap up and 'fix' her. He's just desperate for that to happen.
Also, do you think there was more conversation in the cafe than was shown? (Like that we'll see next week in a flashback type thing to let us in on everything.) It seemed a very abrupt change and I can't help wondering if there was stuff going on that we didn't see or if the Doctor just got up and walked out so he could stop angsting.
I'm sure there was more conversation, but I haven't yet begun to imagine what it might have been. Probably not about Donna (the Doctor certainly wouldn't want to say anything more about it), but perhaps Wilf tried again to get him to fix her and that was why he stormed off.

Looking forward to your thoughts on Part 2!
