| Amelia Earhart |
The one that caught my eye today was about the "new hunt for Amelia Earhart's" plane, as featured on the BBC News website.
"Explorers are to begin a new push to find the remains of famed aviator Amelia Earhart's long-lost plane, focusing on the Pacific Ocean island nation of Kiribati."While Amelia Earhart has appeared in Star Trek: Voyager, beyond a passing reference in Torchwood's Out Of Time, I don't think she has ever been featured in a Doctor Who story... and yet the mystery of her disappearance seems ripe for the picking.
The BBC news story even makes mention of bones being found on the island of Nikumaroro (where Earheart is thought to have possibly crashed) but "lab tests were inconclusive on whether they were human bones". Perhaps they were alien bones?
*splutter*
ReplyDeleteBizarre bit of trivia - Amelia would have been the companion in one of the unmade Doctor Who movie scripts, the one from 1993 with the Master and the Key to Time by Denny Martin Flinn.
Is that in The Nth Doctor? That's sat unread on my shelves for ages; guess I'll have to jump it into the "reading queue".
DeleteI thought (several hours) after I posted this article that I should have suggested in it what a great companion she would make! Which is why I slipped it into the linky piece of the DWAITAS forums ;)
It is indeed - the script called The Jewels Of Time, not the most interesting title from a what-happened-later perspective, that would be Last Of The Time Lords...
DeleteThanks, Craig. I shall check it out ;)
