I'm reading a Fifth Doctor novel (Goth Opera by Paul Cornell), and I couldn't help but giggle when Fivey at some point jumped through a window shouting "Geronimo!"

Ah, foresight. You can be such fun sometimes.



ETA: And now I've moved on to the Terminus novelization, and I'm highly amused that Tegan thinks of Turlough as "the Brat." Speaks a lot about their early relationship.

You could call it Fivesite, even... ;p

I personally thought Tegan had a lot of other choice words for Turlough, but I suppose "Brat" can be printed. I loved Turlough: I was so upset when Four was killed off, and I thought Turlough was going to be the plot device that brought back Tom Baker.

Well, keep in mind that I was 10 at the time...

I thought they realized that they had made an AWFUL mistake when they replaced the Fourth Doctor (at that time to me the *only* Doctor) with that young blonde loser (ie Davison), and were going to kill him off to bring back Tom Baker. I was very disappointed in Turlough's lack of results. :D

Of course, as a grown woman, I can certainly appreciate Five's appeal (insert eyebrow-waggle here), but as a child I really disliked him. It's actually a wonder that I continued to watch right after Four left the show...
