Writer
Gareth Roberts has spoken exclusively to Blogtor about his latest
Doctor Who episode,
The Caretaker. The man behind such classics as
The Lodger and
The Unicorn & the Wasp gave us the comments and insight for the episode audio commentary, released last week. You can download the audio commentary directly

As revealed on the commentary last week, Roberts told us:
"The Doctor and
Courtney are kindred spirits. He's 100% rebel Time Lord, she's 100%
rebel schoolgirl. They're both very direct, and appreciate each other's
directness; there's no social niceties for either of them, they just say
what you want. Also, I hope amusingly, a lot of their bravado is front."
He also gave us a great tidbit regarding Courtney's scenes in the TARDIS, the writer said:
"When Courtney throws up, just before the Doctor initially said, 'What's that wheezing groaning sound?' But that got cut, I think sadly."
The phrase "wheezing groaning sound" will be familiar to readers of the TARGET novelisations of Doctor Who stories where the words were used to describe the sound of the TARDIS.
